A space to be heard, reflect, and find meaning in your experience.
If you’re navigating low mood, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship difficulties or questions of identity and belonging, I offer a supportive space to help you understand yourself more deeply.
In-Person Counselling
I offer individual counselling for adults in Brighton. Sessions are 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. Therapy is open-ended, allowing the work to unfold at your pace, though time-limited or focused work can also be arranged if preferred.
Online Counselling
Online sessions are available via video call, offering a flexible and accessible way to connect from wherever you are. All you need is an internet connection and a private space where you feel comfortable to talk.
About Me
I’m a bilingual, bi-cultural psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Brighton.
I offer counselling in Brighton and online, in English, Swiss-German, and German. My work is informed by an interest in identity, belonging, and life transitions, and I have experience supporting neurodivergent clients, including people with autism and ADHD.
What I offer
You might be feeling stuck, uncertain, overwhelmed, or in emotional distress, or you may be seeking greater understanding, connection, or meaning in your life.
Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome to a supportive space where you can be heard.
Together, we can gently explore your feelings, thoughts, and patterns, make sense of your experiences, and discover new ways of moving forward.
Emotional distress
Experiences such as anxiety, low mood, grief, or emotional numbness can shape everyday life in subtle or overwhelming ways. This may include persistent worry, sadness, tearfulness, irritability, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself.
Stress and burnout
Ongoing pressure, responsibility, or high expectations can lead to exhaustion, tension, and a feeling of being constantly “on.” You may feel depleted, overwhelmed, or unable to rest, even when things appear to be going well on the outside.
Loss and change
Loss can include bereavement, the ending of relationships, or changes in identity, health, or life direction. Grief often needs to be acknowledged and witnessed, rather than rushed or resolved. Counselling can offer space to honour what has been lost, explore what has changed, and gently consider how life might continue in a way that remains faithful to what matters to you.
Identity, belonging, and self-worth
You may be questioning who you are, where you belong, or how you see yourself. This can involve struggles with self-esteem, sensitivity to how others perceive you, or a sense of feeling unseen or “not enough,” particularly during periods of transition.
Emotional awareness and expression
Some people find it hard to recognise or name their feelings, while others feel easily overwhelmed by emotion. Counselling can support the development of emotional understanding and a more compassionate relationship with your inner experience.
Relationships, recurring patterns and loneliness
Difficulties with closeness, boundaries, or communication, repeated relational patterns, or a sense of loneliness or isolation may be part of what brings you to counselling. These experiences can be explored with care and curiosity.
Uprooting
For some, life is lived between homes, cultures, or countries, with questions of belonging and identity close to the surface. Experiences of relocation, migration, or cultural transition can quietly influence emotional life and relationships and can be gently explored in counselling.
A neurodiversity-informed approach
I work with neurodivergent clients with curiosity and sensitivity, including those who receive a diagnosis later in life. Counselling can support reflection on your story, the grief and reorganisation of identity that may emerge, and the development of self-understanding and self-compassion. Neurodivergence is understood as part of who you are, not something to be fixed.
A gentle first step
Reaching out can feel like a significant step — you’re welcome to do so in the way that feels most comfortable to you.
If you are considering counselling, you are welcome to email me to arrange a free 15-minute introductory phone call. This offers space to briefly share what’s bringing you and to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
If you prefer not to speak on the phone, you can simply email to arrange a first session instead. This can also be an opportunity to ask questions and explore whether counselling with me feels right.
Free Call
Starting therapy can feel daunting, and finding the right therapist matters. I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call where you can briefly share what you’re looking for, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether my way of working feels right for you. There is no pressure to commit.
Initial Meeting
If we decide to go ahead, the first session offers space to explore what has brought you to therapy, what you would like support with, and how we might work together. It is also an opportunity for you to reflect on whether working with me feels like a good fit.
In-Person Counselling
I offer individual counselling for adults. Sessions are 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. Therapy is open-ended, allowing the work to unfold at your pace, though time-limited or focused work can also be arranged if preferred.
Online Counselling
Online sessions are offered via Google Meet. You will receive a secure meeting link in advance, with no software download required. I work from a private, confidential space and ask that you do the same where possible, to ensure sessions remain uninterrupted and secure.
Duration
Counselling can be short- or longer-term, depending on your needs and goals, which we will explore together in the first session. We can review this as we go. You are free to end counselling at any time.
Fees
The fee is £60 for a 50-minute session. Payment can be made by bank transfer or cash. I currently do not work with insurance providers.
Confidentiality
All sessions are confidential, offering a safe space to speak openly. The only limits to confidentiality arise where there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others, or where disclosure is required by law. These boundaries can be talked through together at the start of our work.
Professional Standards
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. Confidentiality, professionalism, and ethical practice are central to my work. I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and work in accordance with UK data protection legislation.
