In Person Counselling in The Lanes, Brighton

It takes courage to start therapy. Often, we are at our most vulnerable at these times. I believe the most important thing to establish first is trust. I am not here to tell you what’s ‘wrong with you’ or what you ‘have done wrong’ in the past. My aim is to meet you where you are and invite you on a journey for us to explore together, in collaboration, what is upsetting you and holding you back.

Hi, I'm Annabelle. I am a qualified integrative counsellor. This means I can draw on a range of psychological models and tailor my approach to your needs - whether you need someone to sit with you in your pain, help you find acceptance, explore changes in your sense of self, heal wounds from the past, make positive changes and develop new skills. Perhaps you have experienced loss, relationship issues, anxiety or trauma. Looking after your mental health is not selfish and can help you develop resilience. I have 10 years' experience in the NHS working with clients with depression, anxiety and health challenges including Long COVID.

Are you looking for support through your grief? Do you need to talk through big, complicated and painful feelings? Maybe you just need somewhere to be real, to let everything out – a break from trying to be OK.

I’ve always been fascinated by how we, as human beings, think, feel, and find our way through life. Everyone’s journey is unique, and no matter our background, we all face challenges that can shape how we see ourselves. This mindset has fuelled my passion for my work as a counsellor.
I have a profound passion and faith in therapy. My own journey as a client has shown me the power of self-exploration and how life-changing developing self-awareness can be. Similarly, I’m a firm believer that therapy changes lives.

If you are struggling with anxiety about the world around you – feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty, fear, or the weight of global and personal issues – or if you are facing difficulties in your relationships, I am here to offer a compassionate, soulful approach to healing.
When the world around you feels chaotic, and your inner world mirrors that turbulence, it can be hard to find solid ground.
Anxiety and uncertainty often go hand in hand—persistent worry, restlessness, self-doubt, or a sense of emotional exhaustion can make it difficult to feel at peace. It can feel as though you’re constantly bracing for the next storm.

I am based at the Practice Rooms, Brighton and my office in Wilmington, East Sussex. I have a life long fascination in the nature of us as humans and in particular our emotional lives. I am interested in how complicated we all are. Sometimes it can help to take time out to try to understand ourselves better, and how we are in the world, for example, ‘Why do I keep making the same mistakes?’, ‘’Why am I so fearful, stressed or unhappy?' or ‘How did I get here?’. Therapy can help to work through some of the complexities in our lives or to make sense of and mourn painful experiences and to keep a sense of creativity and meaning alive.

There are many reasons people decide to engage with therapy. Perhaps there is a particular issue that you would like to address, or you may wish to explore patterns and ways of being that no longer serve you. You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions or even disconnected from them. Maybe you just need a confidential space, free from judgement, where you can be heard as you process what is on your mind. Whatever brings you to counselling, I will work to understand what it is like to be you and to walk in your shoes. I will support you as you deepen your self-awareness and consider changes that you would like to make.
