My counselling practice will be open from August 2026. Please feel free to contact me now should you wish to enquire further, join my waiting list or organise a complimentary 20 minute session before August to meet and chat online by using the form below. There is also FAQ section below.
I believe that people have the capacity to make meaningful change in their lives. My role is not to fix or direct, but to create the right conditions for that change to happen—conditions where you feel safe, heard, and free from judgement.
When someone is struggling, I see the first priority as being truly and genuinely listened to. Often, that alone can begin to shift something. From there, the relationship we build becomes central. I work in a way that is grounded in empathy, calm, and genuine presence, offering a space where you can explore your thoughts and experiences at your own pace.
Clients often describe me as calm, gentle and easy to talk to. I aim to provide a steady, supportive presence—someone who can sit with you in difficult moments. I may offer grounding techniques or simple therapeutic tools, particularly when exploring challenging experiences, so that you feel able to stay connected and safe throughout the process.
My practice is based in a private annexe, separate from my home, overlooking the South Downs. It’s a quiet, confidential space designed to help you step away from the outside world and focus fully on yourself. Confidentiality and privacy are at the heart of my work. I understand how important it is to feel safe when sharing personal experiences, and I take that responsibility seriously.
I work with a range of issues, including anxiety, grief, identity, relationships, trauma, and feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed or burnt out. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am committed to offering an inclusive and affirming space for everyone.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked in journalism, PR and marketing, and later ran my own dog wellbeing business. My own therapeutic journey led me here having experienced the value of being properly heard and supported, I wanted to offer that same space to others. In August I will have completed my Diploma in Humanistic Counselling at the University of Chichester and will continue to develop my practice, with a future aim of expanding my offering to include couples therapy. If requested, I can also bring my dog into the room should anyone be interested in the emotional support an animal can offer.
I offer a complimentary 20 minute introduction session for us to meet, explore your reasons for seeking therapy and give you an idea of how I work and what sessions may look like for you. I am currently a student member of the BACP and will work towards full membership once qualified. To learn more about what Person Centred Counselling is click here.
Whilst primarily my practice will focus on counselling, I will continue to offer Reiki and breathwork to non counselling clients.

Please reach us at info@rphtherapies.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Person-centred counselling is based on a simple idea: you are the expert on your own life.
Rather than being told what to do or given advice, you’re offered a space where you can talk openly and be properly heard, without judgement. The belief is that, given the right conditions, people naturally begin to understand themselves more clearly and find their own way forward.
My role is to provide those conditions—empathy, calm, honesty, and acceptance—so you can explore whatever you’re facing at your own pace. We focus on your experience, your feelings, and what matters most to you.
It’s not about me fixing you or sorting out your problems for you. It’s about helping you reconnect with yourself, in the here-and-now so that change can come from within.
My training has given me a broad foundation to work with a wide range of life's challenges such as anxiety, stress, feeling overwhelmed, low mood and loss of motivation, loss, relationship difficulties, questions around identity, including sexuality and sense of self, the impact of difficult past experiences and difficult emotions such as anger, shame or guilt.
I will also hold additional training specifically in Trauma to be able to safely and ethically support those who may have experienced traumatic events.
Ultimately I work with what each client brings, focusing on your individual experience and what feels most important to you.
I am currently a student member of the BACP and once qualified will work towards full membership.
The BACP is the main professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. It sets ethical standards, provides guidance for safe practice, and supports therapists in their professional development.
Sessions will take place weekly in my private Annexe, separate from my house ensuring a quiet, confidential, peaceful and welcoming space. Sessions last 50 minutes.
I have off road parking and separate side access to my studio making it a totally private experience. I do have toilet facilities. I ask that accessibility is discussed ahead of our first meeting to ensure I can make you as comfortable as possible.
I will be deciding on cost when I start to offer my sessions, but happy to discuss should we meet online beforehand. I hold full public liability insurance. I also hold an enhanced DBS check. Like all qualified counsellors I attend monthly supervision to support my work.
I offer a complimentary 20 minute introduction session for us to meet, discuss your reasons for wanting to seek therapy and for you to get a feel of how I work.
Yes, via Microsoft Teams. I insist that all clients are able to access a private and confidential suitable space to use for online sessions.
Yes! I have a labrador who used to work with my dog therapy business. Dog lovers sometimes appreciate having one in the room to offer an extra therapeutic support during sessions. My dog will only attend after pre-arrangement, she will not be present unless requested.
