Psychotherapy and counselling in Worthing

Counselling Therapy and Psychotherapy in Worthing, West Sussex

Welcome to my website. I hope that you will spend a few moments looking through the following pages, which may help you decide upon the quality and type of counselling or psychotherapy you want.

I work in central Worthing, West Sussex, as a counsellor and psychotherapist, and I also supervise the work of other therapists.(see qualifications webpage)

My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is relationally-based and yet informed by an integration of the therapeutic theories I have studied,such as Person-centred, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Rational-Emotive, Cognitive Behavioural,NLP, Psychodynamic, Bodywork, Sensory-motor therapy, Creative Inner Child work and Transpersonal psychotherapy.

I am also a qualified kinesiologist and have an interest in the body-mind, particularly energy psychology, neuroscience and nutritional influences upon the emotions and perceptions.

I have been a therapist since 1994, and continue to update my skills, on a regular basis, with reputable and experienced trainers from America and Europe.

I work with adults - either individually or as a couple, and I run small groups which are either therapy-based or semi-educational (e.g. self-esteem,family dynamics, intimacy and relationships.)I also present 4-hour workshops on Anxiety and Depression (small groups of 6 maximum, which allows for a more relaxed and intimate learning experience). Additionally I offer continuing professional development groupwork for counsellors/psychotherapists.

I am experienced at working with conditions such as:

• Self esteem/confidence/assertiveness
  
• Workplace issues including bullying
  
• Identity difficulties
  
• Relationship problems
  
• Anxiety disorders
  
• Depressive mood disorders
  
• Grief and loss
  
• Childhood abuse/neglect/family dysfunction
  
• Self-harm and suicidal thoughts
  
• Parenting difficulties
  
• Eating difficulties
  
• Mild substance abuse
  
• Mild psychiatric disorders/personality disorders

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the
UK Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) and my work is guided by their Codes of Ethical Practice.
