Often when we are in despair, the people closest to us are the ones we find it the hardest to talk to - perhaps because we don't want to worry them, or to appear weak. I am passionate about helping people find the tools they need to overcome their hurdles, enabling them to move forward on a more positive path. In 2021 I was awarded Fellow status of ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists & Hypnotherapists), in recognition of my work.

I have been providing student counselling services at secondary schools in Eastbourne since 2013. I also work with young adults who are at College/University.

Schools - I am passionate about the work I do with young people and have been providing counselling services to students at secondary schools in Eastbourne (Willingdon Community School and St Catherine's College) since 2013, as well as privately to young people remotely (via phone/video) and face-to-face at Natural Fitness & Therapies.
The coaching process uses a range of communication skills - such as targeted restatements, listening, questioning, clarifying etc - to help shift perspectives and thereby discover different approaches to achieve the end goals.
These coaching skills can be used effectively in a wide range of professional and personal areas such as business, health, social, family, political, spiritual, etc.
This process involves communication, with a focus on developing the whole person in the given situation.

Some people find the thought of talking to a complete stranger a very daunting prospect.
For those who are new to it, sitting face-to-face with a Counsellor can feel a bit like having an interview.
Who needs that added stress or increased anxiety when you are already struggling with life?
It isn't about the exercise, so the pace can be as slow as you want it to be - and there is always an opportunity to rest on a bench or sit on the beach!
This therapeutic change in setting can reduce the pressure of being in a more confined situation, and being side by side - rather than face-to-face - somehow makes opening up much easier.
