Counselling in BN22

A warm welcome to my profile page. I have over twenty years experience working in mental health, and I'm here to offer compassionate, non judgemental support, be that with managing the stresses of everyday life, making personal changes or navigating your way through a crisis. People are individuals, and I'm commited to the idea that the support they receive should reflect this and come from a place of positive personal empowerment. I truly believe that difficult times and challenges offer an opportunity for personal growth and development, but also that you don't just have to 'survive' them ,you can come out thriving.

Hi there, Are you feeling the stresses of Covid 19? Does life feel hard to deal with right now? I'm Sonia Stiles and I am a trained Counselling Therapist with 14 years of experience. As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), I work within the BACP Ethical Framework of Data Protection and Confidentiality. I specialise in Couple Therapy and Family Therapy. I help you address any friction and arguing in relationships that pull people apart and cause more hurt and upset. I do this by looking at the individuals with a caring and nurturing approach to enable everyone to look at the bigger picture.

I have experience helping people with addiction, trauma, anxiety and panic attacks, relationships, family difficulties, stress, bereavement and loss, suicidal ideation and abuse. This involves offering you a safe space to be yourself and exploring difficulties together. This can be help for a repeating problem or feeling empowered to make changes, feel happier and more secure in yourself.

Are there parts of you that feel unrepresented, hidden, anxious, ashamed, angry, or judged by others? We aren't born feeling this way, have you ever wondered how you got to where you are now? My clients come to me because they trust I can weather the hard places we visit together. This is in no small measure due to my visible difference. We need to be able to talk about the things that make us uncomfortable, unhappy, unfulfilled, and unseen - we can do all of this together. Please know that I offer you a space of acceptance, warmth, goodwill, and hope in our sessions. All parts of you are welcome with me.

Hello and welcome. I am an experienced Humanistic - integrative counsellor offering counselling to adults & adolescents/teenagers. I work with you as a whole ; your experiences, feelings, concerns, anxieties, challenges, hopes & potential. It might be that you're feeling anxious, sad, depressed, angry or perhaps overwhelmed with pressures at work, school or college or having relationship difficulties or grieving a loss. If you are struggling to make sense of things or see a clear way forward, I am able to offer a safe and supportive space where I will invite you, at your own pace, to open up about things that are troubling you.

My Name is Mark. I specialise in helping people overcome and gain recovery from Sex Addiction, and have been doing so since 2009. During this time I have tailored my style of therapy to enable my clients to not only gain as much insight to their own addiction, but also the tools to live a more fulfilling life free of addiction. I still feel sex addiction is a taboo area in today’s society where very few people including general counsellors do not fully understand the severity and impact caused.

Hi I’m Loz, my pronouns are she/they. I believe that to create a nurturing space where you feel safe and open to explore the challenges that have bought you to counselling, I need to be the most genuine and empathetic version of myself I can be. Sharing my humanness with you is important to me and this is what guided me to become a Person-Centred counsellor. Our sessions will be led by you, allowing you to work at your own pace, while I take a gentle and holding approach to being alongside you through your journey.

Each person looking for counselling is unique and individual in their process. Therefore in order for you to feel safe in exploring personal challenges and difficulties, it is important that you feel connected and accepted without any judgement at all. Working together we can facilitate a space unique to your needs and develop a trusting and safe relationship. I offer a place where you can feel fully heard to take the courageous steps in exploring life events, inner challenges, worries, fears, hopes and dreams.

I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor focusing on the Person-Centred Approach, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt therapies. My core belief is that each and every one of us has an innate potential to be the best person we can be. My aim is to be part of the process in my client's realisation and journey to reach their own personal potential. I trained at Wealden College of Psychology and I am qualified to Diploma Level in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and Certificate Level 1 in Professional Trauma Treatment.

I am a warm, caring, understanding and empathic person who is hugely passionate about psychotherapy, about people and about helping others come into a place of freedom. I totally believe in the transforming power of the therapeutic relationship. I have seen it transform my own life and the lives of countless others that I have counselled. I am now in the privileged position of using this passion to help enable and empower others to turn their own lives around as well.

Welcome to my profile. Life can be challenging at times and hard to process what you're going through, I provide a confidential environment to explore any worries, anxieties or issues in therapy at a pace that suits. As a person-centred counsellor, I consider that you have the resources to find the best answers to your problems, to do this collaboratively work with you.

It is only human to suffer and feel pain. Too often we bear the burden of difficult past experiences, uncertainty about the future or disconnection from the here and now. These experiences can leave us feeling isolated and alienated. But we do not need to be alone in our distress. At theses time we need a helping hand to make sense of and overcome a painful past or a troubling present and look toward a more hopeful and meaningful future. At my comfortable clinic in Eastbourne I offer a warm, empathic and confidential service for adults experiencing a broad range of difficulties using a breadth of proven, evidence-based approaches.

I am a Gestalt counsellor working from a comfortable counselling room in the centre of Eastbourne, and I can help you discover the change you want in your life so that you can live it in a more fulfilling way. I offer individual counselling, whether short-term or more open-ended. As a Gestalt counsellor, I believe we are each unique in the way we experience and see the world. The counselling relationship can create a safe space that values and respects your individuality so that you can risk exploring distressing patterns and then live more consciously and with more choice in your response to other people, events and challenges.

I offer individual one to one counselling from a comfortable, welcoming space in Eastbourne. I have experience working with people who have a wide range of mental health difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Furthermore, you may be experiencing relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, isolation or anger for example. You may feel something is not right, but unsure what this is. Through a process of exploration, counselling can help you to gain greater understanding of whatever difficulties you may be facing, helping to increase your self-awareness.

If you are a young person or young adult I am ideally suited to your needs. I have experience in dealing with this age group as well as being grounded in working with older adults and their issues. Young adult suffering from low mood or anxiety, adolescents struggling with school based issues, eating disorders, social anxieties and traumas of family life are suited to my practice. It can be difficult reaching out for help but if you can connect correctly with another individual it can help build confidence and rebuild your life. I offer telephone and Skype sessions.

We all have periods when we struggle with current or historical events and/or issues. The life we have led, experienced or been subjected to, shaped who we are today. People in our past made choices for us; we learned how to be and what to do in order to be a 'good' girl or boy, to fit in and to please others. If we can increase our self-awareness and understand where our thoughts, feelings and behaviour today come from, we can get to a point where we can make our own, adult choices about how to be, what to think and how to behave…more suited to who we are today.

You are probably struggling with something in your life which you have been unable to resolve yourself. This may be a relationship or sexual problem, anger issues, family problems, anxiety/depression or maybe just a feeling that something is missing in your life. You may have found that you haven't been able to come up with a solution and that talking to family or friends feels like you're burdening them or it is hard to get an objective perspective. Instead of feeling like you're going round in circles and repeating the same mistakes, you'd like to feel more free and empowered.

People come to counselling for for many reasons. I am committed to helping you. Giving opportunity for you to reflect on any difficulties you are experiencing in a safe and confidential space. I will listen with sensitivity, non-judgement and empathy to understand the way you view the world around you. So together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to give you a deeper awareness and understanding of your self and the challenges you are facing. This can give you clarity and confidence to feel empowered and make meaningful decisions and change where you feel necessary.

We all experience times in our lives which feel overwhelming. It may be the constant dread that comes with anxiety, the inability to feel and pleasure in life because of depression you feel in the grip of a controlling behaviour. Whatever is dominating your life and draining it of pleasure, you can change things. I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist I can help free you from this pain.

Working therapeutically with children and young people is different from therapy with adults, it requires specialist skills and knowledge. My post-graduate training included 5 years at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic (NHS), a world centre for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and I work as a Senior Psychotherapist in CAMHS (NHS) and privately. I work with 2 to 24 year olds, and have significant clinical experience in evidence based psychotherapy for depression, self harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, abuse, tics, phobias, eating disorders, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, school difficulties, family problems, and body, trans and gender issues.
