Counselling in Littlehampton

I specialise in working with those who have experienced trauma as children, adolescents, and adults and subsequent PTSD and Complex PTSD if present. I can provide a safe space in which thoughts and feelings can be explored confidentially and without judgement. Through talking and creative exercises, difficult feelings can be acknowledged, understood, healing can start, and changes occur. I am a PhD student researching the connection between mind and body, I employ elements of this in my approach. This can help restore your confidence, connection with self, resilience, allow you to develop inner ease, and re-establish relationships.

Hi and welcome! I believe healing & change can happen within a therapy space that holds safety and trust. Would you like to create positive change? My sessions offer a friendly, warm, holistic, compassionate and safe environment. I work with people from various nationalities, cultures & walks of life & have special interests working with: neurodiversity & integration; ABI/TBI; ADHD; autism; long term covid; dis/ability; chronic health issues; relationship body & mind; carers and young; HSP; nature and women's health. My intention is to support clients gain more awareness and tools to help support their life journey.

My name is Catherine, I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic counsellor, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer individual counselling, couples counselling and I also work with children from the age of 8 to 18 years (I am qualified to diploma level to work with children). I offer face to face sessions from my practice in Southbourne (in-between Havant and Chichester). Just a 2 minute walk from Southbourne station.

Do you need someone to listen without judgment? Maybe you are looking to manage negative thoughts, to understand your patterns of behaviour and how to change these. Talking about things with me may help you process difficult feelings and give you the space to work out the why's, the wants, the needs and the how's. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, relationship/ family issues, low self-esteem, stress, abuse, life changes such as bereavement, loss of a job, illness. Counselling can help. We can explore these things together, no matter how big or little your problem seems. You are not alone.

Hello, I wonder what help you need in your life right now? I work with you, at your pace, to look at what might be causing the crossroads, pain or confusion you are experiencing that is impacting your life and relationships. You have taken that first step and another is possible. Finding a counsellor you feel you can work with is so important therefore I offer a 15 minute phone consultation which allows us to see how we might work together. I am a qualified person-centred and integrative counsellor - this means you and your experience is at the centre of our work.

Counselling is a space solely for you. Your experience of life is unique to you, no one knows how it feels to be you. It may feel difficult to get through each day carrying around how you really feel, whilst being who you have to be. Worries may build up over time and the heaviness never seems to get any lighter. A counselling relationship is unlike any other relationship you may experience with family and friends because it is all about you and there are no expectations on how you need to be. We would develop a trusting relationship, through this I will help you to explore thoughts and feelings, so you take control of your life.

You may be experiencing relationship difficulties and looking for a safe place to share your story. I work with adults, young people and children who feel stuck, have anxiety, feel overwhelmed, stressed or depressed and be looking for someone who can listen to without judgement. I support you to understand their emotions and make sense of their experiences. You might feel lonely, different, introverted, be self or officially diagnosed neurodivergent or you may have experienced being misunderstood.

Whatever you are struggling with, my approach here is professional, confidential, safe and non-judgemental, offering you an impartial space to freely discuss your presenting issues. Making the first step is often the biggest one! Investing in yourself is a powerful tool. Thank you for visiting my profile.

I help people rediscover their true self when they have become lost. Losing your sense of self can appear in many forms and for many reasons. For example, parenthood, work issues, bereavement, relationships, childhood experience, abuse, traumatic experiences and retirement a few situations which can leave people feeling that they have lost a sense of who they are. If you’ve found yourself questioning your values, your self-worth, your path in life, or the answer to the question, “Who am I?” you may be struggling with something which is often able to be resolved through the self-exploration which counselling & therapy provides.
