Welcome!

I’m Jess, a perinatal and early years psychologist providing compassionate and support and gold-standard evidence-based therapies for parents and families through pregnancy, birth, and through the first 5 years.

I understand that this period can be a time of profound change and emotional intensity. Whether you're managing your toddler’s behavioural difficulties, navigating the complexities of becoming a parent, dealing with past or present trauma, or facing difficulties in your relationships, I’m here to help.

I offer a safe confidential space, and interventions based on the latest psychological science and tailored to your unique needs. I believe that therapy should go beyond talking to really experiencing change.

As well as traditional talking-based approaches, I draw on visual and creative aids for exploring patterns and psychological concepts, live behaviour management guidance, imagery for processing memories and ingrained patterns of thinking and behaviour, and body-based practices, amongst other strategies, to bring sessions to life.

I offer flexible appointment options, including home visits, in-person sessions in the heart of Hove, and secure online consultations, allowing you to access support in a way that suits your lifestyle.

Ultimately, my passion lies in creating a safe and nurturing space, understanding the strengths and expertise that you bring to therapy, and equipping you with the tools you need to move forward.

I understand that embarking on therapy can sometimes be a journey in itself - If you have any questions please do reach out for a free introductory call, I look forward to meeting you.
