My counselling room is at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. From Newhaven it is around twenty-five minutes west along the coast through Peacehaven and Brighton to Hove, or a train via Lewes. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.

What to expect
Why people from Newhaven choose to work with me
In person or online
Meet me face to face near Newhaven, or by secure video, and mix the two however suits your week.
Lived experience
I've known anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma myself, so I understand them from the inside, not just the textbook.
No judgement, ever
Whatever brings you in from Newhaven, you'll be met with warmth and respect, never lectures or shame.
Led by you
We go at your pace. You decide how much to share and when, and the sessions stop when you've arrived where you want to be.
How I work
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of it. My approach is integrative and person-centred. We are not looking for someone to blame, but at the system the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, drawing on relational therapy, Internal Family Systems and Human Givens approaches.
I see people from all over Newhaven and the wider area. Wherever you are, near Newhaven Fort, the harbour and the Ouse estuary or further out, the work is the same: a calm, confidential space shaped around you.
You can read more about relationship counselling and about my methods, sessions and fees. There is no obligation: we begin with a free fifteen minute call to see whether we are the right fit.
Start the conversationFinding support in Newhaven
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Newhaven, you can refer yourself directly to Health in Mind, the East Sussex NHS Talking Therapies service, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Seeing me privately usually means you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have. If you are waiting for NHS therapy, beginning privately can be a way to make a start now rather than putting things off, and we can always work in whatever way fits best alongside what is already in place.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
