A Special Place of Tranquility in the Sussex South Downs
COVID-19 Update
During the corona virus pandemic and lock down period, I continue to offer my services via FaceTime or WhatsApp video link or, of course, over the phone. I am also supporting NHS frontline staff where I can and continue to volunteer with a number of organisations who need my support more than ever.
The Sanctuary Counselling Centre offers children, young people and families a non-judgemental, tranquil and safe environment where I aim to help them feel confident to talk openly and honestly. I have transformed a Scandinavian log cabin, the 'Fox', into my therapy room to create this special environment. It overlooks the rolling hills of the Sussex South Downs around Steyning and feels like a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, yet it is only a 10min drive from Shoreham-by-Sea.
My practice is based just outside the village of Steyning and due to its semi rural location offers free parking. For waiting parents/carers, I can offer a comfortable space with magazines and country views. For clients unable to travel I am happy to offer school/college visits. I also offer Skype consultations.
I work confidentially with clients on a short or long term basis, depending on each persons individual needs.
The chemistry between my clients and myself is really important for a positive experience so I offer free initial consultation sessions where we can get to know each other.
I have many years experience working with people of all ages and walks of life and specialise in working with children and young people in the following areas :
-
Bereavement and Loss
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Abuse
-
Self Harm
-
Eating Disorders
-
Bullying
-
School problems / phobia
-
Relationship problems
-
Confidence and Self-esteem
If you have a child that is showing signs of depression or self-harm please take a look at the help and advice section too for some initial ideas and suggestions for how you can start to support them.
