Counselling in BN2

Are you feeling depressed, confused about what you feel, ground down to the point where you feel unable to cope, or simply wishing you could talk to someone and feel understood? Individuals choose therapy for a variety of reasons and often the biggest hurdle to getting help is an inner voice telling us our problems are nothing special and we should "just get on with it". I provide a safe, empathic environment where you can talk about your concerns without fear of being judged and to provide you with the means to work out your own answers and create the life you want.

If you've arrived here, you are already thinking about counselling. You might feel depressed, anxious or overwhelmed and finding it difficult to cope with the challenges of life. Perhaps you have experienced a recent loss, had a sudden change of circumstances or are struggling with relationships. Maybe you don't even know what's troubling you. Research shows positive change happens when there is a good match between client and counsellor. It’s difficult to choose a counsellor or know what to expect from counselling without having a face-to-face meeting. This is why I offer a reduced rate intro session of £15 where we can meet

Understanding ourselves, the decisions and choices we make and our relationships with others can sometimes be baffling. You may find yourself acting or behaving in ways that you struggle to align with your personal principles, wishes or desires. At times, your experience may suggest that your way of being doesn't blend with the world around you and you might find yourself meeting resistance from people or institutions. Therapy gives us the chance to explore these challenges together. We can look at your relationships with others and the meaning you make of them, helping to develop your insight, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Hi my name is Kate and I have been working as a person centred counsellor and dynamic interpersonal therapist with children young people and adults since 2013. This has been in private practice and in a variety of settings, which include schools, community and specialist services, on a one to one or group basis. I currently work from a quite setting which has an indoor and outdoor therapy space. I am also a qualified supervisor.

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor with a warm, motivational and supportive and yet direct approach to helping people transform their lives. Offering new perspectives, I have helped many people feel more empowered and less controlled by limiting patterns and beliefs.

I work with individuals and couples. I can help you make sense of difficult feelings about yourself, your life, or your partner. With couples, I incorporate Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy which is based in attachment theory.

I offer a protected space for you to explore your different needs and feelings, and reflect on your hopes and wishes - some of these may not yet be known. That's the magic: it's a place of discovery! I value working collaboratively to support your wellbeing and aspirations. This can include enhancing the quality of your relationships, being more creative in your life, and developing qualities that allow you to express what is most important to you. I have been in practice for nearly 30 years, working internationally with different cultures, and this has given me a broader perspective and appreciation of diverse points of view.

We all go through times when some additional support could be useful. Whether a specific issue has led you here today, or a wish to explore difficulties in your early life and their impacting on you today, I might be the right person to help. I have extensive experience of working in NHS and charity settings as well as abroad. Aside from my private practice I currently work as Principal Psychologist / Clinical Lead in an NHS service. I have worked with a wide range of difficulties and have most experience in working with complex trauma, interpersonal difficulties, mood management, and autism spectrum conditions.

Over 20 years experience. The practice is in Central Brighton, near the Level/Open Market and Elm Grove, very close to major bus routes as well as having on-street parking. I have a lot of experience working with clients with many varied issues such as depression, bereavement, life changes, personal development, relationships as well as those who have been psychiatrically 'diagnosed' and want a more 'holistic' approach to their life experience. I am a senior accredited and highly qualified counsellor/therapist (PhD, BACP Senior Accredited).

You may have found the courage to want to change your way of doing life. Whether the issue is specific or a general feeling of dissatisfaction, I believe the therapeutic relationship is created together and can facilitate the changes you want to bring about when created in a safe, open, curious and compassionate environment.

I have worked in private practice as a psychotherapist for over thirty years, and as a Jungian psychoanalyst for almost eleven years. In that time I have worked with a broad spectrum of people from many cultural backgrounds presenting a vast array of issues. Everyone is different. All that is required of you is to be willing to look into yourself, be open to your feelings, and invite your dreams, because they can help us. Ultimately I can't make the changes for you, you must want to change for yourself.

At times life can be distressing or leave us feeling less able to cope. Perhaps you feel at odds with yourself; unsure of how to move forward or aware that you don't want to continue feeling as you do now.

Every person has their own unique story. What happens in our lives as our story unfolds shapes who we are, how we see and experience the world, how we feel about it and where we fit within it. Counselling can help you discover more about who you are, learn about your relationships, understand past events and how you developed, help you have deeper understanding of yourself and learn new ways to live your life. Counselling can help you change from feeling that your story is being written for you and learn how to start writing it for yourself. I currently have availability to take new clients.

I'm a UK-based American therapist focused on supporting your unique needs with a unique approach. I think that you and I are both imperfect humans working together to gain understanding of your experience. I facilitate this exploration through compassionate curiosity and open exploration of emotions. I firmly believe you know yourself best; I’m just here to support. Whatever you feel like you need support with, I'm here to work alongside you with compassion and empathy (and sometimes a little silliness). I offer flexible scheduling online for people who travel regularly, or have difficult schedules.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer online support to lesbian, gay, bi, non-binary, trans and queer people throughout the UK. If you identify as LGBTQ+ it can make a huge difference to find an LGBTQ+ counsellor who accepts you as you are, with warmth and understanding. I have 20 years experience in LGBTQ+ counselling, advocacy and support services, and work with a broad spectrum of LGBTQ+ identities and ways of being. I provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about problems that are affecting you and explore your fears, hopes and dreams.

I like to focus on helping clients work towards having healthier and happier relationships both with themselves and others. I work online (via Zoom) and in-person, in central Brighton. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, gender identity, family issues, issues around 'coming out', self-esteem+social isolation.Please get in touch if you would like to find out more!

I’m a registered and accredited therapist with lots of experience of working with adults, young people, couples and families. I offer a secure and confidential space where we can address and navigate the concerns you bring, and together we'll delve into the impact of past events on your current life and relationships. My style is compassionate and non-judgemental but challenging enough to ensure positive change can occur. I will adapt my style, approach and methods according to your needs or situation, and I will work at your pace.

Deciding which therapist to choose based on their profile picture? Evaluating which therapist you could work well with is an added dilemma at a point where you might already be feeling overwhelmed. So here's the part where I explain about who I am & how I can help - I'm a therapist who understands how the therapeutic relationship promotes change, I will support you in navigating your anxiety, losses or interpersonal relationships by being authentically alongside you. Our connection will allow you the freedom to express your fears, as well as your hopes. Where our work together means you can begin to lead the life you want.

Whether it be anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, bereavement or trauma, my role is to be alongside you in order to support you to overcome the difficulties you are facing. My work is with people from all walks of life and backgrounds who come to therapy with a diverse range of issues. As a counsellor I have experience in education, employment and voluntary settings; I have also worked as a Gas Engineer, Teacher and Stand-up Comedian.
