"Our wounds are often the openings into
the best and most beautiful part of us"

~ David Richo

I offer Emotionally Focused and integrative therapy to adults (18+) in Brighton, East Sussex, and online — with a special interest in relational trauma, as well as support for anxiety, low mood, grief, and other emotional struggles.

Depending on your needs, I offer short-term, long-term, and Single Session Therapy (SST).


Emotionally-Focused and Integrative Therapy

I take an integrative approach to both short- and long-term therapy, incorporating Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and trauma-informed modalities. Rooted in attachment science, EFIT is a humanistic experiential model that supports emotional processing and fosters secure, meaningful relationships with oneself and others.

Relational trauma often requires an integrated approach to address the multiple layers of its effects. This blended approach offers you a more personalized experience to counselling and therapy.

Counselling or Therapy?

I use the terms Counselling and therapy interchangeably. Usually Counselling refers to a short-term service, which can be between 6 to 18 weeks. The focus is on offering you emotional and psychological support through a difficult time. Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) is an effective, evidence-based approach that can achieve meaningful change in short-term therapy by addressing core emotional and relational patterns.

Therapy is a medium to long-term process (usually 12 sessions +) focused on longstanding difficulties, thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that significantly impact your quality of life and relationships.  Outcomes in therapy often are more ‘profound’ as they represent significant shifts in your inner experience, perspective, beliefs, feelings, sense of self and relationship with others.

Single Session Therapy (SST) is a one-time, focused session to address a specific issue, with the option of further support if needed.
 
I offer single sessions for when something specific arises. These sessions are most effective for clients who have worked with me for at least six sessions, as we can draw on our existing therapeutic relationship.



Benefits of Emotionally Focused Integrative Therapy

Our time together — whether short or long term — can help you to:

  • Identify underlying patterns that may be at the root of your current difficulties
  • Find resolution through understanding and processing your emotions

  • Gain the clarity you’re seeking
  • Feel more grounded, resilient, and experience a greater sense of well-being

 


Next Steps

Arrange an appointment

Get in touch by using the contact form below. Together, we can agree on the best day and time for your first session. I will then send you a confirmation email with session details, along with any relevant information.

Attend your first session

In our first session, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy and and discuss aspects of your background that feel relevant to you. This is also a space for you to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and see whether working together feels right for you.

Choose the best option for you

If we decide to continue working together, we can agree on an amount of ongoing sessions. Should we find that I am not the right therapist for you, I can signpost as appropriate.

 A compassionate space to heal from relational trauma, emotional pain, and the weight of life’s challenges.
