About Me

Following a series of bereavements and the counselling I received, I become interested in training as a therapist and started reading and taking various courses in differing aspects of psychotherapy and counselling from 1995 onwards. Although I started to see clients in 1999, I was awarded a full scholarship by Brighton and Hove council to attend the post graduate counselling course at Brighton University in 2001, from which I graduated in 2003.

Over the years, I became increasingly aware that many issues that clients wanted to explore in therapy were grounded in their relationships with others, past or present. Also, clients often 'carried' those experiences with them, approaching each new relationship, personal or professional, through the lens of those prior relationships. These experiences (and the problems they often caused for my clients), lead me to become more interested in working directly on those relationships themselves. I also began to appreciate that this couple work often promoted profound changes in the individuals and well as within the relationship itself.

I now specialise in couple counselling, working in  Eastbourne and Hastings.
