Counselling in Hove

Hello, I'm Pippa and I have more than 10 years' experience helping stressed and anxious teenagers feel better, build confidence in themselves and find healthier ways to cope. I really understand how all consuming it is when you're worried about your child. They might be worried about school, relationships with friends or family or perhaps feeling on edge, overwhelmed or sad and tearful without knowing why. Sometimes it can be really helpful to have a trusted adult outside the family who can give a supportive space to your young person and guide you all through the process towards feeling better.

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.

Hello and welcome. I am an experienced Counselling Psychologist, and have worked for over 15 years as a therapist, including in the NHS, the charity sector and in private practice. I feel privileged to share in my clients’ life journeys and to support them in a flexible way. This often involves a combination of the main therapeutic approaches and an emphasis on experiential work, and the use of art and creativity. I can help you with a wide range of issues including low mood, depression, anxiety, stress, disability, relationship issues, identity issues, family problems and difficulties you may be facing in moving forward in life.

I am a BACP accredited Psychotherapist, Couples Counsellor, Supervisor, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)Therapist and trained in EFT. I work within private practice with young people and adults in Brighton and Hove on a short or long term basis within a safe, confidential and non judgemental environment. When working with individuals I work with what each individual client brings to counselling and some of the issues I work with include:- depression, anxiety, stress, loss and bereavement, university life and homesickness, low self confidence, worth and esteem and work related.

Life can be challenging and at times we may find ourselves out of control, struggling to cope and in emotional pain. Whatever the issue may be, therapy may help you to understand your experiences, feelings and thoughts. I believe in supporting my clients to recognise what is important to them and to live a life in line with their values. I value the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a healing process and I am committed to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel able to explore your difficulties in depth and increase your self-understanding in order to bring change and possibility.

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

Whether a couple or an individual, whatever troubles you…abuse, anxiety, confidence, low self-esteem, relationship issues, sex, sexuality and psychosexual issues, trauma or any other issue…the first step back to well-being is to reach out for support. Perhaps a counselling relationship is what you need to help you through. Although family, close friends and colleagues can offer valuable support, sometimes these very relationships can be barriers to exploring honestly and openly what you may be thinking or experiencing. This is where the therapeutic counselling relationship could help.

I imagine that you are here because life seems particularly tough at the moment. Perhaps you are anxious about the future, or suffering with difficult memories from the past. Perhaps you have realised that the relationship patterns you have developed are no longer working for you and you would like to find a new way of connecting to your partner or others. Perhaps you need some practical guidance with a sex related problem. Wouldn't it be good if a trusted professional, who is also warm and 'real' could help you find a positive way forward?

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 offer a safe online therapeutic service. I specialise working with young and older adults and LGBTQ+. Do you feel lost, desperate, alone and have tried other avenues but still find your right back at the same place. Are you grieving a lost one. At Safe Space Therapy we can explore why you are not able to move forward and be the authentic person you can be. We can explore the blocks and barriers and old patterns that have suppressed you in life. I have a strong ethos with supporting clients to explore and set their own inner boundary, therefore allowing and empowering you to find your own inner therapist.

I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Oxford University. I have experience of working with individuals, couples, families, adults, older adults, children and adolescents and people with learning disabilities, within a wide range of NHS health care settings. I specialise in working with couples and also supporting people who have long-term physical health problems such as diabetes, chronic pain and chronic fatigue. I wrote my doctoral thesis on adolescents’ experiences of going to boarding school and have an interest in the impact of boarding school on psychological wellbeing.

Welcome and thank you for getting in touch with me, it takes courage to get the first step.

I offer a confidential space for us to build a relationship of trust with mutual respect, aiming to explore and work through any difficulties you may be facing. My approach is nurturing and non-judgmental.

Life's ebbs and flows can bring up a mixture of emotions, experiences and sensations. Sometimes we know what is going on and our coping strategies work well. And sometimes we feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed with no clear path in front of us. I offer a compassionate and respectful space where we can work together to explore where you find yourself in life right now, identify the patterns that you might want to shift, bring some attention and care to the issues that are important to you, and identify the goals you'd like to reach at the pace that feels right for you.
