I am a senior associate at Brighton Therapy Centre and have worked in the field of mental health since 1991. I am registered with the UKCP and HCPC as a psychotherapist and psychologist and an Associate Member of the Institute of Group Analysis. I have a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Group Analysis.
I offer psychological support to people in need, and I believe that we all have that need. Perhaps you are in touch with your need.
Psychotherapy is a unique form of conversation. It unfolds and deepens over time if we feel safe enough with each other. If you have experienced some growthful relationships and communication in life, you know yourself and others well enough to have meaningful connections and occupations. If you have not had such experiences, you are likely to live with emotional pain and isolation. Speaking openly can feel risky. It is essential to find the courage and honesty to put your experiences into words so that you can understand yourself better. Doing so in psychotherapy can help you develop insight, self-respect and self-confidence. As a result, profound fears and anxieties can gradually assume more human proportions.
Martin Buber once wrote, “all journeys have a secret destination of which the traveler is unaware”. Psychotherapy is such a journey. You may feel ready to speak and think about your life’s journey. Psychotherapy requires a commitment of time, money and heart. Please get in touch to see if I am someone you might want to journey with.
