 Rise Up Therapeutic Counselling. 

Firstly  I want to recognize the strength it took for you to bring yourself to reach out today, this is the most empowering part of therapy, reaching out for Counselling. Finding the right counsellor will be most beneficial  to your therapy. So let me tell you what I can  offer.  

At Rise Up Therapeutic Counselling, I offer a collaborative, adaptive, and client-led person-centered counselling approach. I believe deeply in creating a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, valued, and supported. Together, we can explore your experiences at your pace, allowing space for insight, healing, and personal growth.

I approach counselling with openness and a heartfelt belief in the human capacity for change and growth, even in the most challenging circumstances. My work is grounded in compassion, respect, and genuine connection, recognizing that you are the expert in your own life.

I have my own lived experiences as well working with and  supporting individuals with a wide range of difficulties, including trauma, bereavement and loss, abuse, cancer diagnosis, life-limiting conditions, family and relationship challenges, and end-of-life concerns. I work with young people aged 11+ teens, younger adults and  into adulthood offering both short-term and long-term counselling depending on your needs.

I provide face-to-face counselling in Bexhill, as well as online sessions, offering flexibility and accessibility to support you in a way that feels right for you.

I understand that finding the right counsellor is paramount to the therapeutic process. For this reason, I offer a free 20-minute consultation, with no obligation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and see whether we feel like a good fit.

If you’re considering counselling and would like a supportive space to explore what’s going on for you, please feel free to reach out today

I believe that the relationship is fundamental to therapy so I know that the first session can be a challenging experience- but we will move at  your own pace. In the first session we will establish a therapeutic relationship. We will work collaboratively one built on honesty and trust. We will review our session to understand your needs, wants and exceptions from our work together. In this relaxed environment your Therapy starts here.

   I am fascinated by people and our shadow parts, the parts we hide away. At Rise Up I welcome every part of you, with compassion, empathy and want for growth.
