I’m an experienced BACP registered therapist offering long or short term, individual and couples/ relationship counselling, online and in Worthing/Brighton. I use the pronouns ‘she/they’. I work with adults (18+) who have a range of life experiences including trauma/abuse, chronic illness, alcohol issues, sexual health, sexuality and gender. I work with people from a range of cultural backgrounds including queer, poly and and kink communities, neurodiversity, asexuality, and people who identify or questioning across the gender spectrum. I am committed to providing an inclusive, safe and confidential space.

Do you need support emotionally? Are you feeling low or anxious? Maybe you're bereaved? Maybe you're struggling with relationships, at work or at home? I can help you. I believe everyone can choose to live their lives and relationships in a positive and fulfilled way. I am a qualified Counsellor in TA Practice, with many years of client experience. I'm here, I'm listening. Please contact me to arrange an initial meeting session to find out if we can work together.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stuck ? Not quite yourself ? Perhaps you’re struggling with unexpected changes… difficulties in your relationship, the loss of a loved one, health problems? Or maybe you are wanting to move on from a situation that's holding you back, recover from a hurt or disappointment or regain your sense of self and what to do with your life? Whatever our age or circumstances, there are times when we could all use some support to light our way forward and to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our current situation.

Hello, my name is Hazel (She/Her). Do you have something in your life that you want to stop, change or overcome? Many clients have come to work with me because I have experience in working with depression, anxiety, addictions, questioning sexuality and gender, and also relationship work including non-monogamy. I am a compassionate counsellor grounded in the person-centred approach, which believes that each person is unique, and has the resources within us to find the best way forward during difficult circumstances. I offer short or long-term sessions, either in person at my practice Worthing or Goring, or online or by telephone.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or experiencing low self-confidence? Would you like to examine your feelings about a bereavement or life event? Perhaps you wish to look at difficulties in your relationships with your partner or family, or maybe you’re considering how your past affects you now, as an adult. I can support you as you explore these issues and a wide range of other challenges. I offer effective, compassionate counselling in Brighton and Hove. At the start of our work, we'll identify what you want to achieve from counselling. Whether your aims are abstract or specific, we can work towards them together.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Tutor and Supervisor. I work with a wide range of issues and client groups i.e. Individuals, couples, young people and families. I am dedicated to advancing equality and welcome client’s across the gender sexuality and relationship diversity spectrum. As a white therapist I acknowledge my unearned white privilege and I do not shy away from addressing my responsibility to educate myself about racism and its ongoing impact. I work with clients on the patterns that restrict them, with the aim of helping clients evolve beyond, where they have been before, to a healthier place.

People seek counselling for many different reasons. You may feel stuck in life, work, relationships or loss. Or struggling with depression, anxiety, low mood or low self-esteem. Many seeking counselling have experienced trauma in their past that is affecting the quality of their life now. Or perhaps someone has reached a time in their life when they seek self-development and psychological growth. Whatever your individual reason for seeking counselling, Clay Counselling offers you a safe, non-judgemental space to talk through your problems and move towards positive change, growth and acceptance.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope with your circumstances or feelings, for any reason or none, counselling can help you gain insight, clarity and understanding to find a sense of stability and calm. With this new perspective, you can start to build resilience for facing further struggles and difficulties that life inevitably brings. If you are an ex-pat, have experienced divorce, lone parenthood or a life-changing event or experience, I have a unique understanding of these issues.

Hello I’m Selene. I have 20 years of experience as a counsellor. I am a warm and open-minded person with a good sense of humour. I offer a welcoming and confidential space where we can together create an empowering therapeutic relationship. I believe you are an expert in your own life and my role is to support and challenge you reconnecting with yourself and your strengths. Counselling is an opportunity to give yourself the time and space to imagine who you want to be. Sometimes fear and shame make us stuck and disconnected from others and not able to ask for what we want. Therapy can help you free yourself and open connection.

Welcome! I offer a wide range of services & would love to help you. I can work with adults, children & groups of professionals. I can help if you are feeling sad, anxious, have low self esteem, you might be struggling with lifestyle, sleep, routine & creating habits that stick and want some changes. Quite often these things stem from past experience, you might have suffered trauma such as bullying, abuse, parental separation. I am also helping companies and HR managers with creating well-being support & positive changes returning to the 'hybrid' way of working following COVID 19. I also offer Supervision to other practitioners.

If you are reading this, I imagine that you may be struggling to cope with your feelings. You may really not want to feel the way you do and you may feel you don't know how to change it. As a therapist I hope to offer a space for you to speak and to be heard, to explore how you feel and perhaps why you feel as you do; to give you time to say what you want to say, to say everything you want to say, to communicate. I am interested in working with dreams and with the body. You can see more on the blogs that I have posted on my website.

It’s hard to be human. Sometimes we all need a bit of help. A place to take stock. Work out where we are or process uncomfortable feelings - maybe old traumas that are still causing us problems in a our day to day lives. Improve our relationships and discover what might be holding us back. Recover from grief or change. Challenge ourselves - unblock our creativity - find our flow! Build our sense of self - come out of darkness and find hope. Therapy is a space for you and a relationship that offers support and challenge and skills to make these changes.

I've been counselling since 1989, and have extensive experience of working with sexual abuse and trauma, parenting and attachment difficulties, identity and relationship issues, depression and anxiety, bereavement and loss. I don’t claim to be an ‘expert’ in any of these areas because everyone's response is different and what matters is you and your own unique experience of these difficulties. I am committed to collaborating with you to find the resilient, hopeful part of yourself that becomes expert in managing your challenges and is motivated by the smallest signs of progress towards your preferred future.

At times life can be difficult. Sometimes it may feel like life isn’t moving forward and you keep repeating the same old patterns and nothing changes. You may be dwelling on the past or worried about the present or the future. You may just be in a place of general unhappiness where you just don’t know what to do. In developing a better understanding of ourselves, increasing our awareness, and learning about how we operate as people we are able to make fresh choices, see new perspectives, change things, move forward and find our full potential. I believe in peoples capacity to thrive when they are given the right conditions to do so.
