Preston Park, named after the city's largest park, is a leafy and well-connected district north of central Brighton. Wherever in Preston Park you're coming from, whether Preston Park, the Rotunda Cafe and Preston Manor are on your doorstep or a little further out, you're welcome here.
I work from a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. Preston Park is around ten minutes from the office by car or a short train ride to Hove, with Preston Park Station close by. Prefer not to travel? The same sessions are available online by secure video.
I see clients for relationship counselling in neighbouring areas too, including Brighton, Patcham, Hove.

What to expect
Why people from Preston Park choose to work with me
Flexible slots
Evening and weekend appointments mean sessions can usually fit around work and life in Preston Park, not the other way round.
Rooted in the area
Based on the Sussex coast, I see people from right across Brighton & Hove, Preston Park included, every week.
The whole picture
We look beyond the symptom to what's underneath, because lasting change comes from the root, not the surface.
A private, discreet room
My Hove room is comfortable and confidential, an easy place to come to from Preston Park without bumping into anyone you know.
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.
Reaching out from Preston Park takes something, and I don't take that lightly. I try to make the first step as easy and unpressured as it can possibly be.

Start the conversationFinding support in Preston Park
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Preston Park, you can refer yourself directly to the Brighton and Hove Wellbeing 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.
