Counselling, EMDR and commitment
I currently provide 20 counselling/EMDR slots each week, with one client filling each slot. Occasionally people require 2 slots per week, which I will do my best to accommodate.
I will commit to do all I can to be here for you each week and provide the right conditions to support your growth and change. This includes my commitment to attend regular clinical supervision, as is expected for all professional counsellors and psychotherapists, and ongoing training; so I can bring up to date ideas and perspectives to my work with you.
From experience, successful counselling involves a similar level of commitment from the client. This includes your commitment in time and a financial commitment.
As well as weekly long term counselling I can offer weekly short-term counselling (typically 6-18 weeks) but am unable to offer alternating (fortnightly) sessions. There is an exception that for some clients, when ending, it can be appropriate to stagger alternating sessions for a short period of time.

Location:
Regular weekly sessions are usually available within a week or two and can take place via Zoom or in a quiet, comfortable therapy room in central Brighton.
My therapy room is within a listed building with access via flights of stairs. Please arrive up to 5 minutes before your session and ring the bell. A receptionist is available before 5pm. There is a waiting area with comfortable seats, regularly cleaned bathrooms and free filtered water. Please do discuss any access needs you have.
My room is easily reached by car from the A23/A27 and is regularly serviced by buses that stop at the ‘Open Market’ bus stop.
