Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Crowborough

I'm an experienced counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space in which you can explore whatever brings you to counselling. It could be that there have been things that have troubled you for some time and which you now feel ready to think about in more depth. Maybe recent events have caused you to feel like you need some help to cope. Or perhaps you just don’t feel right and would like some space to explore why that may be. Talking with a skilled, impartial counsellor can help you find the words to make sense of your experiences and find a way forward.

Therapy is personal journey, unique to you and directed by what you want to achieve; I trained in Relational Transactional Analysis and use this modality to support my clients' growth in self awareness and understanding of the unconscious patterns that have been driving their behaviour. Many clients can't fully articulate what they want from therapy, only that they want things to be different, this is normal, and part of the process of therapy is working with you to discover what you want. On the way we aim to discover what blocks you from achieving your goals and support you in finding new paths to reach your goal.

Sometimes life can be challenging for a variety of reasons and talking things through with a trained professional can be life changing in many different ways. I can offer my experience and training to assist my clients through this process to reach the place they want to be. It is not always easy and requires commitment but the results can be enlightening and sometimes life changing.

It is common to experience emotional distress in life from time-to-time, but sometimes we need help with managing this. Difficulties can range from a general feeling of low mood or anxiety, the pressure of challenging life events such as loss or relationship-breakdown, or coming to terms with historical events. As a qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I will provide a safe and supportive environment so that you feel able to explore your current thoughts and feelings by drawing from past experiences. From here, we can try to understand their impact on your present, and consider how you might wish to move forward. ​

I work with adults of all ages, students, teenagers and couples from a quiet and private therapy room in Crowborough with free parking and wheelchair accessability. I offer both face to face and online therapy sessions.

I therefore offer a free initial half hour consultation.

I help with clients struggling with many different sorts of emotional and psychological distress, and who simply want to feel better. During therapy, you will feel supported, listened to, understood and believed; able to share your fears, worries and story without judgement, and be listened to with compassion and empathy. I provide a safe, warm, environment for you to get the help and support you need in a non-judgemental and empathic way. Our work together will help you feel better, happier, improve your relationships, be open to new opportunities and choices, and build the life you want.

What would life look like if you were flourishing? Sometimes problems can feel overwhelming to the extent that we can’t imagine life without them. Starting therapy can feel both daunting and hopeful, and finding a therapist and approach that you feel comfortable with is key.

I have experience working with a variety of issues of which the following are just a few. Depression, bereavement and loss, anxiety, dissociation, trauma, relationship problems, anger, low self-esteem, abuse, stress. For me counselling is giving yourself time and space to explore your issues, to gain insight with the help of a caring professional who is able to facilitate you through the often challenging and difficult experience of personal therapy. I charge £55 for individuals per 1 hour session. I charge £27.50 for the initial assessment and offer a 50% reduction for those on a low income, ask about availability.

Embarking on a therapeutic journey can be transformative, but it's not easy. I work with adolescents and adults, creating a safe and empathetic space where trust is nurtured. I understand the unique needs of individuals navigating complex emotions, identities, and relationships. I work intuitively and collaboratively with clients to explore their goals for therapy, whether it's navigating the challenges of adolescence, managing major life transitions, grief and loss, domestic abuse, divorce, anxiety or depression.
