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 seek.
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,Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, 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 brain functioning; and the nutritional influences upon the emotions and perceptions and health.
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.
I run small groups (SEE PSYCHOTHERAPY PAGE FOR MORE DETAILS)
I also present 4-hour workshops on Anxiety and Depression
(groups and workshops are for small groups of 6, 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

- Childhood abuse/neglect/family dysfunction
- Self-harm and suicidal thoughts
- Parenting difficulties
