Integrative & Transpersonal Therapist
I see being a therapist as an immense privilege. I have the opportunity to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life's challenges, deepen their self-understanding, and move towards a more fulfilling way of being.
Alongside my broad therapeutic practice, I have developed a particular interest in working with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, and questions around identity. I also have specialist experience in men's mental health, supporting clients in their masculine and feminine energies, and LGBTQ+ experiences.
I aim to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and experiences at your own pace, while feeling genuinely heard, understood, and accepted.
My therapeutic style is both compassionate and gently challenging. I believe lasting change comes not only from feeling supported but also from being encouraged to examine familiar patterns and step beyond them when the time feels right. Together, we'll work towards helping you gain greater insight, build resilience, and realise your full potential.
Therapy is a shared journey, and my role is to support and accompany you through that process with care, honesty, and respect. If you feel that working together could be helpful, I would welcome the opportunity to explore that with you.

Therapy isn't only for times of crisis. It can also be a space to reflect on your past, make sense of your present, and shape the future you want. It offers an opportunity to deepen your self-understanding, unlock your potential for growth, and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to therapy. Instead, I work intuitively, tailoring our sessions to your individual needs, personality, and way of experiencing the world. While talking therapy forms the foundation of my work, I also draw on a range of creative and experiential approaches where they feel appropriate. For example, we might explore your dreams if they hold meaning for you, use sand tray work to connect with different parts of yourself, engage in guided creative imagination ("waking dreams") to explore the unconscious, or draw on art, music, poetry, or spiritual texts if these resonate with your experience.
Although our work will always be guided by your needs, goals, and pace, there may be times when I take a more active or directive role. If I believe a particular intervention or perspective could be helpful, I'll offer it collaboratively, always with your consent and in service of your therapeutic journey.
My integrative and transpersonal approach allows me to tailor therapy to your individual needs, recognising that each person's experiences, circumstances, and goals are unique. I offer both longer-term and short-term therapy, depending on what feels most appropriate for you.
For those seeking deeper self-exploration, I specialise in longer-term transpersonal psychotherapy, providing a space to take a deeper dive into your inner world. Together, we can explore unconscious patterns, beliefs, and aspects of yourself through creative and experiential approaches.
I also offer shorter-term therapy that is more goal-orientated and centred on addressing specific challenges, developing coping strategies, and creating meaningful change in the areas of life that matter most to you.
Alongside my general practice, I have a particular interest in men's mental health. I support men in exploring the unique challenges they may face around identity, relationships, fatherhood, emotional wellbeing, life transitions, purpose, and societal expectations. My aim is to provide a supportive and non-judgemental space where men can develop greater self understanding, resilience, and emotional connection.
Starting therapy can feel daunting and finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is an important first step. To support this, I offer a free 15-minute call where we can briefly discuss what is bringing you to therapy and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
If you decide to continue, we can arrange an initial consultation, where I can learn more about your background and the concerns you would like to explore.
If we agree to work together, we will schedule a regular weekly session held on the same day and time each week. Sessions last 50 minutes. Regular attendance is important, as consistency helps therapy to be most effective.
Sessions take place in comfortable rooms located in central Brighton, as well as online. I currently have availability for seeing new clients on Monday evenings and Saturday mornings.
My standard fee is £75 per 50-minute session.
If you need to cancel or rearrange a session, 48 hours’ notice is required.
If you would like to arrange an introductory call, please feel free to get in touch.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how therapy works, or to arrange a free 15-minute introductory call. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to therapy, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right person to help.
You can also call me on 01273 044548 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
