Thank you for checking out my website. Starting therapy can be daunting, so hopefully we can make this first step less mysterious or confusing. I hope the information here can enable you to decide if choosing me as your therapist is the right option.
I currently have in-person availability in St Leonards-on-Sea and Online availability throughout the UK.

I genuinely believe that you are the very best expert in you. Unfortunately for many, we grew up and continue to live with far too many negative external judgments and influences. Counselling enables you to re-find who you truly are, when those influences and judgements are recognised and their power reduced. Re-discovering who you truly are and developing meaningful relationships are the foundation of the healing you can achieve in therapy.

My clients come to me for various reasons, but I have particular experience in providing mental health support for anxiety and life stresses, as well as issues related to sexuality and identity, including all variations of the LGBTQI+ family. Many of my clients also open up about addiction, trauma, and abuse. Additionally, through City & Coast Counselling, I can offer guidance and coaching to parents of troubled and distressed adolescents.

I work in Central London, Hastings, and at St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex, providing mental health support through City & Coast Counselling. We can meet online or in person, and I also offer walking therapy in local parks and beaches. I work with adults of all kinds on a one-on-one basis, and I also volunteer with the community-based low-cost therapy service Counselling Plus in Hastings.

Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, my primary role at City & Coast Counselling is to keep you safe and supported. Whilst I will be alongside you in this journey, you have complete freedom about what you share and we will work entirely at your own pace.
As a registered member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy MBACP (418650), you have full access to their Complaints and Ethics support.
