DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC (GCC: 06179)

I graduated from McTimoney College of Chiropractic with a First-Class Master of Chiropractic (MChiro). Before retraining as a chiropractor, I spent over 20 years working as a registered adult nurse, which has given me a strong medical foundation alongside compassion and empathy for those in my care.

I have had chiropractic care since childhood, and through my own experience I know first-hand the benefits of being well adjusted and moving with greater ease. This has shaped my belief in the body’s ability to function and feel better when it is properly supported, and it’s a belief I bring into my work with every client.

I enjoy caring for people of all ages, and use a range of techniques including diversified, McTimoney, SOT and instrument-assisted adjusting, adapting my approach to suit the needs of each person. I’m a bit of a chiropractic geek and love attending courses to keep developing my skills, always with the aim of bringing the best possible care to my patients.

My aim is not just to relieve symptoms, but to help people live better in the body they are in, both now and in the years ahead.

Outside the clinic, I enjoy staying active through weight training, running, surfing and year-round sea swimming. I love nothing more than a sauna and sea dip, whatever the season, playing football in the garden with my kids, or finding a quiet corner to get lost in a great novel.

DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC (GCC: 03781), ACUPUNCTURIST

As a young girl, I was always interested in training in the health and medical field. After having my daughter, I felt it was the perfect time to pursue something in this field. I had been receiving chiropractic care and my chiropractor suggested studying chiropractic. I returned to education at The McTimoney College of Chiropractic, where I completed a Master’s degree in Chiropractic.

I qualified at the end of 2012 and have since worked along the south east coast.  I’ve enjoyed learning from others, as there are so many different techniques, and I’ve completed a variety of courses to continue developing my skills. One aspect I really enjoy is incorporating acupuncture as part of my treatment. I have studied Western acupuncture which focuses on improving the quality and range of movement by treating trigger points to enhance function. Although it differs in philosophy from Chinese acupuncture, both aim to achieve similar outcomes.

I truly enjoy my work, especially meeting new people and finding out their stories. While I enjoy working with people of all ages, I have a real soft spot for the elderly as they have so many interesting stories to tell!

I’ve lived in Brighton for over 20 years. I really love it here as it is a melting pot of people from all over. We also have the sea and the downs which keeps it from getting too big. My most favourite pastime is reading. I also love travelling and learning about other cultures, cooking and going camping and to festivals.

I look forward to meeting you!

DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC (GCC: 05466)

I am passionate about helping people take control of their health through positive lifestyle choices and appropriate chiropractic care. My aim is to understand your individual needs, relieve pain, and support your overall wellbeing.

I take a structural approach to chiropractic care, combining hands-on treatment with functional exercise to help improve movement and long-term outcomes. I believe that care should not only address current symptoms but also support the body in functioning at its best.

During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to work across a variety of specialty areas, including geriatrics and chronic pain. These experiences helped me develop a broad understanding of different patient needs and conditions. However, I developed a particular interest in treating sports-related injuries, inspired by my own background in competitive football.

Through my experience in sport, I understand the physical demands placed on the body, as well as the importance of recovery, injury prevention, and performance. This perspective allows me to work effectively with both active individuals and those looking to return to activity safely.

I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and supporting them on their journey to better health.

I can’t wait to start this journey with you!

DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC (GCC: 03470)

I always had a strong desire to find a profession that involved helping people that also incorporated a holistic AND scientific approach, luckily for me, at 17 years old, I discovered Chiropractic!

I felt that the profession offered the very best in optimising health and wellbeing, naturally. I studied for 5 years at The Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, beginning my career thereafter in 2011.

It is my core belief that every ‘body’ has the capacity to function at its best and my aim is to help people achieve this by removing imbalance and dysfunction that allows the body to heal itself.

I have a specialist interest in pregnancy and paediatric care, which began when my sister was pregnant, and have spent many years undertaking additional training to look after these populations in the best way. I have witnessed women enjoy their pregnancy journey with chiropractic care and the impact of helping a new baby settle into the world, is far reaching for the entire family, as well as the child’s life.

I enjoy staying active, particularly yoga, walking in nature, being in my garden and taking advantage of living by the sea with swimming and paddle-boarding (summer only!).

Chiropractic for me is not just my profession, it’s my lifestyle – a way to think, live and be.

SPORTS MASSAGE THERAPIST

I am a Sports Massage Therapist with a passion for helping people move better, recover well, and feel their best. I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Sports Massage, am accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), and have a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science.

Having grown up locally, I’ve always felt a strong connection to the area. My interest in sport and movement developed later on, but quickly became a major focus in my life. This led me through further study, where I discovered the benefits of sports massage and its impact on recovery and performance.

I take a whole-body approach to treatment, working with a wide range of people—from athletes to those with more sedentary lifestyles. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing aches, muscle tightness, or simply want to move more freely, my aim is to help you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.

Each session is tailored to your individual needs. I combine techniques such as deep tissue massage, stretching, and instrument-assisted soft tissue work to reduce tension, improve mobility, and support recovery.

I place a strong emphasis on understanding your lifestyle and movement habits, ensuring treatment is both effective and sustainable. My goal is not only to relieve symptoms, but to help prevent them from returning, supporting your long-term health and performance.

When I am not doing sports massage I am eager to be outside for walks over the South Downs or at the gym, I also listen to a lot of music of all genres when I am relaxing on the weekend.

PSYCHOTHERAPIST (ACAT: W374282)

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor in psychotherapy and practice Cognitive Analytic Therapy (short term focused psychotherapy), being a Founder Member of the Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapists (ACAT).

I have worked in the NHS as a psychotherapist for 40 years, and began my training in the Medical School of Guys and St Thomas Hospitals. In my last NHS post in Brighton, I was Lead Psychotherapist, and our team won an NHS Quality in Care Award.

I specialise in any problem which causes distress leading to depression, anxiety and disordered eating. My main interest has been working with people with diabetes but I also see people without any medical long term condition.

I have spoken in Parliament, and published and lectured extensively on Cognitive Analytic Therapy and issues around the psychological problems associated with diabetes. I live locally and offer a confidential service.
