Training & Experience

Counselling & Psychotherapy in Brighton & London

 

I hold a post-graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis counselling, awarded by the Psychosynthesis Trust and I am currently undertaking an MA in psychosynthesis psychotherapy.

I also work with anyone who feels lonely, excluded, alienated, frustrated, stuck, put-upon, inadequate, unrecognised, rejected, misunderstood, or just a bit sad– in other words, all of us, at times.

Over the last 20 years I have worked as an actor and enjoy working with creatives of all kinds. Over the past 12 years I’ve worked closely with the NHS , training healthcare professionals in communication skills, enabling them handle complex and challenging issues.

Having sat in the client’s chair I know what the experience of being a client is and how vulnerable one can feel being witnessed by another. This was one of the most important parts of my training as a counsellor, and I believe has given me more empathy and more compassion for anyone who decides to give counselling a go.

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”

London & Brighton Psychotherapeutic Counselling

I am a counsellor working psychotherapeutically in London & Brighton. After an initial contact by e-mail or phone we will arrange an appointment as soon as we can at a mutually beneficial time.

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet and get to know each other. It will be a space for you to ask any questions you may have about me or the counselling process and to talk about what brings you to counselling. At the end of this session we should have a good idea as to whether we want to work together and continue with further sessions, although you may want to think it over for a few days.

Once the decision is made to continue we will establish a ‘contract’ that we both feel comfortable with. This will make clear the confidential nature of the sessions, the cancellation policy and establish our commitment to working together in regular weekly sessions. For example we may initially contract to meet for 6 weeks, to see how that works out. This may be a sufficient number of sessions or you may then decide to continue open-endedly.

In all cases the sessions are best conducted on a consistent weekly basis to gain the most out of the work together. I have a 48 hour cancellation policy although I will always try and be flexible and offer an alternative time and day If I can. If the session is cancelled within the 48 hours the full session fee will be liable.

Each 50 minute session:

Individuals

Brighton £50.00

London £60.00

Once we have met face to face there is also a possibility of working together via Skype sessions or telephone counselling.

Please call me on 07971 279 449 if you would Like a free 15 minute phone call to answer any questions you may have. Please leave a message and I will endeavour to get back to you within 24 hours.
