About Babi

I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist in Brighton offering short-term and long-term psychotherapy to adults, as well as group psychotherapy, and psychodrama groups.
I work with individuals who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others — often as a result of trauma, developmental trauma, PTSD, or CPTSD. My practice is based in Brighton, and I also offer online therapy to clients across the UK.
My Approach to Psychotherapy
As a psychotherapist, I see my role as a trustworthy and safe companion, walking alongside clients as they explore their inner world and make meaningful changes to improve their relationship with themselves and with others.
I offer therapy in an empathetic, non-judgemental, and containing environment, where deep exploration can safely take place. I am particularly attentive to issues of safety, attachment, and nervous system regulation, supporting clients to reconnect with their sense of agency, resilience, and potential.
Areas I Work With
​
I have experience supporting clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:
-
Trauma, developmental trauma, PTSD and CPTSD
-
Anxiety and chronic stress
-
Depression and low mood
-
Addiction
-
Feeling stuck or disconnected
-
Relationship and attachment difficulties
My particular niche is working with complex and developmental trauma, where early experiences continue to affect emotional regulation, relationships, and self-worth in adulthood.
​
Modalities and Therapeutic Methods
My work is integrative and trauma-informed. I draw from a range of evidence-based and depth-oriented approaches, including:
-
Psychodrama psychotherapy (individual and group)
-
EMDR
-
Attachment-focused EMDR
-
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
-
Imago Couples Therapy (currently in training)
I also integrate ongoing professional development and theoretical frameworks, including:
-
Psychodynamic theory
-
Neurobiology of trauma
-
Parts work
-
Polyvagal theory
-
Structural dissociation
This allows me to tailor therapy to each individual, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Professional Experience
Before entering private practice, I worked in a range of specialist services, including:
-
Brighton Housing Trust (BHT) – Women’s Specialist Worker: Established a trauma-stabilisation service for women at risk of homelessness with mental health and addiction difficulties
-
Oasis – Individual and group therapist
-
Bristol Drugs Project – Group worker
-
The Maudsley Hospital, London – Trainee psychotherapist
This experience has deeply shaped my trauma-informed, socially aware approach to psychotherapy.
I offer psychotherapy to adults seeking meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and containing therapeutic relationship. Whether you are looking for short-term focused therapy or long-term depth work, we will work collaboratively at a pace that feels safe and respectful of your nervous system.
