Counselling in Brighton
In-Person and Online
Humanistic Therapist in Brighton
DipHE, MBACP
Starting counselling can feel like a big step, and you might not be sure exactly what you need right now. That’s okay. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you begin.
Whether you’re feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or simply not yourself, this can be a space to start making sense of things. Sometimes, the hardest part is putting it into words, and that’s something we can explore together.
I offer counselling in Brighton and also work with people online, so whether you’re looking for online counselling in Brighton or prefer to meet in person, there’s flexibility to find what suits you best.
As a therapist in Brighton, I have particular experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, identity, self-esteem and relationship concerns. If you’re looking for private counselling in Brighton, or need support with something more specific like anxiety counselling, you’re welcome to get in touch.
My approach is grounded in honesty, care and collaboration, helping you move towards greater clarity, self-awareness, resilience and connection.

MY APPROACH
I believe the relationship between client and counsellor is key to meaningful, lasting change. As a BACP-registered counsellor in Brighton, I offer a safe, affirming and non-judgemental space for personal reflection and growth. Whether you're seeking in-person or online counselling, you're welcome here.
My approach is integrative and grounded in humanistic counselling principles. I tailor each session to suit your unique needs, working with care, honesty and respect for your individual experience.
Through my Brighton counselling services, I support adults dealing with anxiety, depression, identity, stress and relationship difficulties. Many people come to me for therapy for anxiety, low mood or a general sense of being lost, and we take time to understand what’s going on beneath the surface.
As a therapist in Brighton, I offer private counselling at your pace, with no pressure to share more than you feel ready to. This is a space for you to be heard and supported, whether you’re beginning to explore things for the first time or returning to talking therapy in Brighton after time away.
Whatever brings you here, you're not alone. This is a place for mental health support in Brighton that is honest, gentle and human.
