I am an experienced therapist specialising in working with ADHD and Autism. You may have been struggling for a long time, hit a rough patch in life, found yourself in crisis, or have a particular worry that has been troubling you recently. My aim is to give you the time and space to talk these issues through. I focus on the person and what they want to achieve through therapy, and provide a safe, confidential space for you to feel heard. I can help you to explore your emotions, create new insights, facilitate change in your life, and break troubling thought or behaviour patterns.

I offer Rumination Focused ERP (Dr. Michael Greenberg) for all OCD subtypes. I treat anxiety, depression & other mental health issues. I assess & diagnose adult ADHD. I have extensive experience in supporting people through life events and transitions such as bereavement, religious trauma and faith crisis. As a Christian psychologist I support those who wish to integrate their faith and mental wellbeing and those who wish to explore their faith and doubts (including scrupulosity). I also work with people other faiths or no faith. I’m registered with all major UK insurers and I'm insured to work internationally.

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.

Hi, I'm Kristin. I have been a counsellor for over fifteen years, and have been blessed and trusted with countless stories of the human experience. I consider it an honour and a privilege to help others purposefully and consciously connect with their own power. We all, at times, need support and guidance as we become aware of what we need to heal and attempt to navigate life’s challenges with authenticity and grace. It takes courage and vulnerability to ask for help; and sometimes it takes patience and commitment to find the right help. If you are curious to find out how I can help you…let’s chat.

For individuals and couples, I bring compassionate, open enquiry to help make sense of the challenges you face, supporting you to find authentic pathways through life's difficult terrain. I work creatively, within an agile framework, that enables you to safely explore and find meaning in your individual needs, experience and relationships. We all find ourselves feeling isolated, stuck, maybe blinded by repetitive patterns or crisis at some time - by recognising this as the time to ask for help, you allow your healing journey to begin. A journey towards a greater sense of connection, integration and wholeness.

As a CBT therapist and midwife I really understand the barriers you might feel asking for help during the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth or postnatally). Many people struggle to talk about their anxiety, depression or doubts and worries about being a parent. You might feel judged or that you have failed in some way and there can be a real sense of pressure to feel positive throughout, making it sometimes feel really hard to admit you are struggling, so I understand just how significant asking for help is. Reaching out is positive and is the first step towards recovery - of your sense of self, your self worth and your wellbeing.

I am an LGBTQ affirmative counsellor and psychotherapist. I support lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer individuals and couples in Brighton & Hove, and online 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 19 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.

There are many reasons for coming to therapy. Perhaps you have reached a point of crisis or perhaps you would like to understand yourself better. By acknowledging difficult feelings we can begin to recognise patterns of behaviour that are no longer helping you, or try to make sense of past issues that still affect you in your present. I can offer you a safe place in which to explore these difficult thoughts and feelings, empowering you to respond to yourself and others in a healthy way.

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.

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

Like acorns, a change in your life can start small and grow into something strong and powerful, transforming how you think, feel and live. Counselling can be an exciting and challenging journey, dealing with what's happening now or looking at your past. I will support you on this journey to understand yourself better, giving you the potential to grow and develop self-awareness. You and I will look at how you think, feel and behave, which can give you focus on which parts of yourself you want to develop, and which parts you can use to support the work you do. This is very important and useful on the counselling journey.

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.

The decision to try therapy can seem very daunting, but you have already taken the first step if you are here in this directory. Dealing with difficult issues, loss, bereavement, trauma, divorce/separation, identity , etc can feel utterly overwhelming. Initially, the prospect of sharing such experience may feel like a step too far. My own and clients’ experiences have shown me time & again that it is through the process of talking therapy that in sharing the burden the healing can begin. I have a passionate belief in the power of the wounded, with support, to find some reconciliation, with themselves, their history & in relationship

Do you often feel there’s a constant inner critic telling you what to do or you find yourself putting others’ needs first or worried how others judge you? Many of us have experienced emotional neglect in the past or may have been bullied and these experiences can create negative beliefs about ourselves that tell us that we are not good enough. I have helped many clients who have struggled with these negative feelings and helped them gain a new sense of self worth and confidence. By working together we can find ways to help you feel better about yourself so you can create the life and the relationships that you deserve.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
