Counselling and psychotherapy
There are many things which might make us feel we are not living life to the full. Challenging life problems, addictive practices, the loss of someone close to us or just plain old feeling down.
Through my counselling and psychotherapy work, I help people deal with these issues and find their own way forward.
It’s time for you to start living life to the full again.
Therapy
Move ahead with your life
Therapy helps people to address conscious and unconscious issues, enabling them to find a path to move ahead with their lives, positively and confidently.
I use a range of integrative counselling and psychotherapy techniques, tailored to suit the unique needs of each client.

As well as my role as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Brighton, I am also available to run workshops for organisations and groups. These focus on aspects of privilege, otherness, equality, diversity and intersectionality.
