The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

Carl Rogers On Becoming A Person

I’m Subhadassi. I’m a qualified counsellor, working with adults in Lewes and Eastbourne and online. My approach is warm, thoughtful and collaborative.

Counselling is a gateway to change and growth; to fulfilling our potential. It offers a confidential, supportive space where you can slow down and explore whatever is going on for you.

I work with a whole range of clients including people navigating significant life transitions, and those wanting to understand the effects of earlier experience on their lives and relationships. I also have a particular interest in creativity and the relationship between psychological and creative life.

Though I welcome people from all backgrounds and identities, I have a particular interest in working with men who are trying to make sense of themselves, their relationships, or a period of change in their lives. I know that some men can find it especially difficult to find a space where they can talk honestly without feeling they have to perform, fix or explain themselves. I can offer this space.

I’m also aware that trauma, and early formative experience can continue into adult life. I work in a trauma-informed way, paying particular attention to safety, pacing and the ways earlier experience can shape how we relate to ourselves and others.
