What is Counselling?
People usually seek out a counsellor when they are experiencing a problem or worry that they need support with. A counsellor is a trained professional who listens and supports without judgement. A counsellor can help you to explore the things that trouble you, so that together you can find options
and solutions that might help.
Counselling is a confidential service and sessions usually occur at the same time weekly. There is not set number of sessions any person needs, instead we can review and discuss as we work together to decide the best options for your individual needs.
What is my approach?
I offer traditional talk therapy alongside creativity.
Play and creativity are a natural medium for children to explore their feelings and so when
working with children I use games, sand tray therapy and art and crafts to explore feelings and worries.
Adults and adolescents can also benefit from engaging with their creativity,
but not everyone feels comfortable doing so.
​
So, I can also offer more traditional talking therapy if this is what you would prefer.
And there is always the option to have my trained therapy dog in the session too!
​
I offer sessions in person in the beautiful rural village of Glynde, East Sussex.
I can also offer sessions online via Zoom or via telephone.
