I am a Counselling Psychologist, Psychotherapist, and EMDR Consultant. My office is based in Brighton. I take an integrative and holistic approach to mental health, which means not just focusing on one’s difficulties and problems, but on one’s strengths and resources ultimately leading to the integration of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of well-being.

I also incorporate EMDR where appropriate; EMDR is a psychotherapy approach successfully used in the treatment of trauma and as well in challenging life events to help address stuck negative beliefs, low self-esteem, and emotional and creative blocks.

I worked in the NHS for 9 years as a specialist psychologist and in private practice since 1999.

Psychologist, Psychotherapist, & EMDR Consultant: Areas of Speciality
As an integrative and transpersonal psychotherapist I work with an holistic approach in both a longer term more depth oriented way or in a more brief and solution focused modality as well.

Transpersonal is an orientation that addresses multiple facets in a person's life; emotional, physical, psychological, intellectual, creative, social, and spiritual.

As a psychologist and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Consultant I specialize in clinical assessments, formulation and focused treatment planning. Since 2000 I have been specializing in the treatment of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), both originating from childhood abuse and from adult onset traumas due to accidents, natural disasters, or other causes.

Some other areas which I have a particular interest in working with include:

Mindfulness
Relationship Issues
Couples Counselling
Depression
Anxiety
Existential & spiritual issues
Self-esteem and low self-confidence
Somatic/body awareness

While the above list are areas I specialize I also treat a wide range of other issues which can be found below.

What to Expect
Our initial session is an opportunity for us to meet each other and for you to discuss the main issues which you would like to address. I will take a brief history to help understand the context and get an overall picture and formulation about what is happening for you at this stage in your life.

The first meeting should last approximately an hour and I will share with you my thoughts and suggestions for number of sessions. Generally sessions are weekly for approximately 50 minutes, although the option is available to have longer sessions if required or desired.

Cost of Therapy
My fees are based on a sliding scale from £65-£85 per 50-minute session (pro rata for longer sessions) based on what you feel able to afford within that range.

I am registered with BUPA Health Care Services and AXA-PPP for those of you with private insurance

Publications
I have one article published:
Healing the Father-Son Relationship: A Qualitative Inquiry Into Adult Reconciliation. Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Vol.42, No. 3, Summer 2002. pp.13-52.
　
"Turning our lives around is usually the beginning of maturity since it means correcting choices made unconsciously without deliberation or thought."- Marsha Sinetar
