I offer integrative trauma-informed counselling and Emotionally Focused Therapy for adults (18+) in Brighton (UK) and online. My work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, low mood, grief, the impact of relational trauma, and other emotional challenges – creating a safe space to feel understood, rediscover inner strengths, and cultivate resilience to meet life’s ups and downs.


Integrative and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

My approach is grounded in a relational and collaborative framework that integrates Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) and trauma-informed modalities to support emotional healing.
 
Rooted in attachment science, EFIT supports emotional processing and helps transform core emotional and relational patterns. Through new emotional experiences in the present moment, EFIT fosters greater emotional security and a more meaningful connection with oneself and others.
 

How does Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy work?

In this short video, Dr Sue Johnson, the founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy, offers a simple, heartfelt explanation.


Counselling or Therapy?

I use the words counselling and therapy interchangeably. The length and focus of our work depends on your individual needs. Some people seek short-term support around a specific difficulty, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper emotional patterns and relationships.

I offer one-off sessions for when something specific arises. This option is most suitable for existing clients who have already established a therapeutic relationship together.

Potential Next Steps

Initial Enquiry

Get in touch to arrange a free 20-minute introductory call or book your first session directly if you prefer. The introductory call is an opportunity to ask any questions you might have and get a sense of whether working together might be a good fit.

First Session

Our first session is an opportunity to begin exploring what has brought you to counselling and how it is affecting your life and relationships. Together, we will start to make sense of your experiences and emotions in a way that feels safe, supportive, and respectful of your pace.

Ongoing work

There is no expectation to continue beyond the first session unless it feels right for you. If we both decide to continue, we'll discuss the frequency of sessions that is most appropriate for your needs and check in regularly to make sure the work remains helpful.
