Counselling in Brighton

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.

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.

Choosing to engage with therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s important to find the right therapist for you. You may be struggling with an issue; you may find yourself in a repeating pattern of behaviour; or you may wish to explore existential issues in order to find greater meaning in your life. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore whatever you bring without judgement. I work psycho-dynamically. Put simply, this means that we will explore together the ways in which you have dealt with experiences and relationships in the past so that we can impact the ways in which you deal with them in the future.

Counselling enables someone to deal with those difficult, and often reoccurring, issues that just don’t seem to go away. By working through those problems it is more than possible to change things so that you can reach your fullest potential so you can Thrive.

Support for negative relationship patterns, jealousy, insecurity, anger, anxious or avoidant attachment behaviour, infidelity, divorce, the impact of parenting, or how you were parented, on your current relationships. I help individuals to process their past, improve their relationships and move forward in life. At present, I work in central Brighton and online with clients across the UK.

Hello, I am Sabine, a Psychologist and Psychotherapist in advanced training. I believe in what the therapeutic relationship could offer: a nurturing environment where you can talk about your difficulties. This can lead you to a deeper understanding of yourself and your worries, which can be the first step for real change. My approach is guided by the “I am OK – You’re OK”: people are born OK and can re-decide their own life. I believe that a person can change their dysfunctional relational and behavioural patterns, if and when they are provided with a facilitating and non-judgemental environment. Please enquire for pricing info.

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.

Hi I'm Louise, I'm a Humanistic counsellor, I am honest, approachable and authentic. Searching for the right therapist can be hard, finding someone you can trust and feel at ease with is the first step. To help you connect with me, I offer warmth and kindness, I really care for my clients. Many people see counselling as a place where they talk and the therapist listens, I will listen, but I will also support, resource you and help you find your way to wellbeing and calm. Together we can unpick any confusion, ease anxiety and bring light to the darker parts of your world. So let's work as a team to make things better.

I specialise (16 yrs experience) in working with young people and adults particularly neurodiverse clients (Autism, ADHD, self-harm, OCD, stammer etc). Having trained and practised as a Speech & Language Therapist, I now focus on humanistic psychotherapy because it is my passion to support individuals in navigating their unique way of being in the world. As well as face to face and online sessions, I can offer animal therapy (I have a canine-concern registered black lab), assistance dogs are welcome and where needed I offer walking therapy as well as meeting clients in different locations to help with anxiety issues.

Life can feel hard - even overwhelming at times - but it doesn't have to stay that way. Often, people find talking to someone who understands can help to shift difficult feelings and allow them to fully engage with life once more. Perhaps you feel stuck? Anxious, angry, depressed, or in emotional pain? Maybe you notice your relationships are unsatisfactory, they always follow the same pattern? Or maybe life, with all its demands, is just grinding you down? Spending some time exploring these issues with a trained counsellor can offer insight, clarity and relief.

Educational Psychologist with a wide range of experience in various educational and care settings. Extensive experience in delivering therapeutic interventions. Experienced in providing statutory advice for Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). Committed to promote the wellbeing of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disability, and their families. Qualified and registered user of a portfolio of psychometric tests for assessing learning (e.g., Dyslexia), intelligence, and mental health in both children and adults.

Working with individuals and couples, online, I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma-informed psychodynamic therapist. Therapy involves a joint inquiry into the underlying beliefs and habitual ways of being and seeing that we carry. Regular sessions provide a reflective, confidential space for self-exploration and support, in which to look together at any areas of concern to you. As we begin to make sense of troubling, confusing or conflicting feelings and experiences, it can become possible to discover greater ease, choice and fulfillment in the present.

Speaking with someone for the first time about personal issues or trauma can feel really daunting. It is important to feel safe and not judged when talking about difficult things, and my aim is for us to develop a relationship where you can explore whatever it is that you need to. There is not an exhaustive list of the reasons for coming to counselling initially but one thing is sure and that is it begins with building trust and beginning to speak openly.

Are you overwhelmed by constant worry, feeling crippled by fear and exhaustion, having panic attacks and fighting a constant battle with your mental health? Anxiety and stress related illness can be totally debilitating. That sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach, palpitations, brain static, you cannot think straight and you are totally confused about how to make yourself feel better. Perhaps you are turning to alcohol, drugs or unhealthy behaviours, as they are the only ways you know how to escape this horrible feeling. You might be wondering; why is this happening, where did it come from, will I ever get better?

Counselling and Psychotherapy can be a space to explore current or past concerns, desires and hopes. You may be wanting to get to grips with an aspect of yourself that keeps tripping you up or is holding you back in some way. You may be struggling with current losses, relationship difficulties, adversity, or have a sense of longing that you cannot make sense of. You may have experienced a sense of low self-esteem/ self-worth due to early experiences of being misunderstood or unaccepted for who you are or have experienced neglectful parenting or trauma or simply need a space in your life to figure something out.

Hello! I am an award-winning bilingual Chinese and English-speaking psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher. I work in a down-to-earth and solution-focused way. Every day I see the positive impact that my work has on clients' lives, and I feel privileged to be able to support them and witness their personal growth.

I am a BACP registered therapist with a diverse range of experience, currently working with adults in two trauma services, Mankind UK and Lifecentre, alongside practicing privately. In my practice, the therapeutic relationship is a space where difficult life experiences can be worked through and self-awareness can grow. This has helped those I have worked with to feel more at home in their own skin, see different possibilities for relationships, feel an increase in compassion for themselves and find a positive outlook for the future.
