Welcome to Brighton Counselling, my practice website, offering you a confidential safe space for one to one counselling. My background is Integrative Humanistic and Gestalt. I offer both short and long term counselling for a wide range of issues. I also offer Clinical Supervision for individual counsellors and groups of counsellors. I work at AYA as a Clinical Supervisor in Southwick and I am on the membership committee at UKAHPP for applicants applying for accreditation as psychotherapeutic counsellors and psychotherapists. This accreditation leads on to accreditation with UKCP.
My training as a practitioner in family systemic therapy at Great Ormond Street is an integral part of the work we will do together. You may be experiencing a crisis or going through significant life changes; you may want to find out whether to stay together in your relationship or not , or to establish what needs to change. Perhaps you have unresolved childhood issues that require linking past events and experiences to seeing patterns in the present.
I also offer bereavement counselling, dealing with loss, shock and terminal illness. I work with clients with serious health related issues such as ulcerative colitis, cancer, heart disease. This could be preparing for and following surgery and during treatment.
I also work with a wide range of client ages over 18 including students at Brighton University and University of Sussex. Please contact me directly.
About me
I am a fully accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor (MAHPP and UKCP) with over twenty years experience as a counsellor and ten years as an inner city teacher. I set up my private counselling practice in Brighton in 2002. I am based in central Brighton, two minutes from Brighton station and close to Seven Dials.
Reasons for counselling
I offer counselling for a wide range of issues. Although each client and approach is unique, some common themes that I work across include:
Unresolved childhood issues & trauma
Supervision for counsellors
I trained as a Clinical Supervisor at The Gestalt Centre in London and I have been working with supervisees for several years, in a variety of settings. I offer supervision for both practising and trainee counsellors. I worked for CRI Counselling Service, now Pavillions, as a Clinical Supervisor for counsellors. I also worked for Cruse Bereavement Care as a Clinical Supervisor. Currently I work at As You Are Centre (AYA) with a group of supervisees who are counselling a wide range of clients.
