About Me

I have over thirteen years experience in counselling and have a post graduate diploma in humanistic counselling from Brighton University. I am BACP registered and work within their ethical guidelines. As part of my annual CPD (Continuing Professional Development) I have done a wide range of courses which will also influence how I work, including:

CBT
Trans Awareness
Teenage brain and anxiety
Intergenerational mediation
Suicidal tools
Self harm
Autism and ADHD

I have worked with the YMCA in secondary schools for over ten years and volunteered with Mediation Plus providing intergenerational mediation for struggling families in East Sussex. I worked with PATCHED providing one to one counselling and duo counselling for families and friends supporting someone with addiction.

I enjoy travelling, reading and walking with my dog.

Information & Fees

Sessions are 50 minutes and are charged at £60 with the introductory session at £30. I accept cash and bank transfer.

The amount of sessions you have will depend on you and what you feel you need. We can agree to a fixed amount say 6 or 12 but it could be more open ended. We will review every 6 sessions to check in with where you feel you are and how you feel it is progressing.

Some of the issues I work with include anxiety, transitions, loss/bereavement, relationships, anger, low self esteem, self harm, work related stress, low mood and body image.

I work online or at 198 New Church Road, Hove, BN3 2DJ – opposite Tescos and near Hove Library. Parking is easy, it is a 10 minute walk from Hove station and well connected for buses (1, 1a,6, 49, 5).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Humanistic Counselling?

Humanistic counselling believes that every individual has potential and that painful and difficult life events may have put blocks in the way to prevent them reaching their potential. This can impact on an individual’s self worth. A therapist can gently help to remove the blocks to build up their self worth and enable the individual to reach their potential.

What can I expect from our first session together?

Research has shown that the relationship between counsellor and client is the most important aspect for enabling change for the client. It is therefore important for us to see if we can work together. This first session is an opportunity to this. I will also find out a bit more about what might bring you to counselling. You can ask any questions you may have and I will go through a brief contract explaining confidentiality, GPDR and cancellations. This is at reduced rate of £30.

How often will we meet and how long will our sessions be?

Sessions are 50 minutes long and weekly at an agreed time and day. Generally, it is the same time on the same day every week though there may be able to be some flexibility in this depending on availability.

How many sessions will I need?

There are no fixed amount of sessions – it will depend on you and what you feel you need. We can agree to a fixed amount say 6 or 12 but it could be more open ended. We will review every six sessions to check in with where you feel you are and how you feel it is progressing.

Where are your sessions?

I work from a room in 198 Church Road, Hove which is opposite Tescos and near the library.

I also do online sessions.

What age do you work with?

I work with people aged 14 and above.

What issues can counselling help with?

Essentially counselling can help with anything that may be going on in your life. I’ve worked with many issues such as anxiety, stress, low self esteem, self harm and depression. You may not have a label for what is going on and that is ok – you may be feeling confused or overwhelmed by feelings - counselling can be a safe non-judgemental space to explore this.

How confidential are the sessions?

The sessions are confidential unless you disclose something that is seriously harmful to yourself or others.

I have supervision where I discuss my work but your identity would never be disclosed.

Counselling with Tash has helped me with anxiety and helped me feel like others can understand my point of view and why I make decisions

I’ve got very good coping mechanisms for when I am feeling overwhelmed.

Being able to express my worries and being able to share what I am going through has been a big relief.

I’ve managed to find the more positive side when I used to think there wasn’t anything positive.

I’ve understood why things happen and how I can overcome them.

I have worked through many tricky emotions, I can now let some of that responsibility go and begin to be a teenager. I have also managed to be close to someone.
