I’m Ayndrilla (An-drill-ah, she/her), a humanistic counsellor and a member of the BACP offering sessions in central Brighton.

You may be here because you are struggling to cope with life's demands. You may be feeling stuck or anxious or perhaps you want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your story. My aim is to provide a safe and comfortable space where you can bring whatever is on your mind. I will be alongside you as we try to make sense of some of the challenges that come with being human.

Counselling, or being deeply listened to, has been around as long as humans have been communicating with one another. In today’s busy lifestyle, it can be hard to find a moment to share and be truly heard by another person. I can offer you the time and space to explore whatever is happening for you right now. I aim to bring kindness and a non-judgemental approach to our work together.

My work over the years has revolved around caring for people. I have eleven years of experience in the charity and teaching sectors and have worked with issues around domestic violence, children with special educational needs, illness, postnatal depression, estrangement, addiction and bereavement.

In addition to being a counsellor I am a mother and a writer. I have a particular interest in the experience of parenthood and how it can affect our sense of ourselves. I am also curious about the experience of feeling different, particularly when this feeling becomes overwhelming and affects our daily lives. I stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and welcome clients of all sexual identities. I strive to work in a way that is compassionate and anti-oppression.
