Attachment-based Counselling in Brighton

Psychotherapist, MA, MBACP Accred

I'm trained in couples therapy through Relate and work integratively, drawing on systemic, psychodynamic, and attachment-based approaches.
Does your relationship feel stuck? Are you arguing about the same things, or has the silence between you become harder to bridge? Maybe you're working through an affair, navigating infertility or childlessness, or finding that life changes have pulled you apart rather than brought you closer. In our work together, we'll look at what's happening between you—the patterns that keep showing up, how you communicate (or don't), and what might be underneath the conflict or distance. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. I draw on systemic, psychodynamic, and humanistic perspectives to help you understand each other.

Karen Grey – Founder of Hear4u Counselling I am passionate about supporting adults, young people, and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or at a crossroads in life. I believe that within each person lies the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change, even during life’s most challenging moments. Sometimes we simply need a safe and compassionate space to pause, reconnect with ourselves, and find clarity. My role is to walk alongside you with warmth, empathy, and authenticity, offering a supportive, non-judgemental environment where you feel truly heard and understood. Together, we gently explore what’s going on for you.

I work integratively, drawing from relational, existential, humanistic, psychodynamic, and attachment-based approaches to support you in processing difficult emotions and experiences.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, sad, or experiencing a quieter sense of stuckness, fear, or grief that needs some attention. I offer a warm and attentive space where you can feel safe to explore the roots of what is going on for you and deepen self-understanding and insight. I work integratively, drawing on a range of approaches to support you in processing difficult feelings and experiences. I am also currently completing further training in Processwork, an embodied, systemic, and relational approach that helps you unfold complex emotions, relationship dynamics, dreams, and bodily experience.

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, not only to reduce anxiety or low mood, but to make sense of who they are, their relationships, and how they want to live. Often, this includes people who are already quite reflective, but find that thinking alone hasn’t led to the clarity or change they’re looking for. There may be a sense of feeling stuck, unsettled, or unsure of direction, even when things appear to be functioning on the surface.

My person-centred modality carries the core belief that we are all born innately good. Things happen to us along our journey in life. Learnt behaviour and experiences shape our thoughts and feelings in our development. We can repeat our reactions to circumstances when they occur in adulthood. We can become unconscious of our behaviours because of the busy lives we lead. It's as if our experiences stick to us like "papier mache' " in the developmental years, forming a different self. This can be an uncomfortable and unwelcome reality that we want to change in adulthood or when it becomes painful, but we often do not know how to.

From time to time everyone experiences stress, sadness, anger, relational conflict and grief which we often suffer alone. Accepting help from others can be difficult but maybe you feel you’ve toughing it out on your own for too long. Whether you are struggling with an identifiable trauma or you’ve reached a point where recurring feelings are becoming unmanageable; a course of psychotherapeutic counselling may help you make sense of what is happening and enable you to gain and maintain some stability. Feelings of fear, anger, rejection and lack of confidence are difficult areas and discussing them with friends too raw and personal.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re navigating challenges like trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or burdened by patterns and emotions that seem impossible to shift. I understand how daunting it can be to take the first step towards change, but you don’t have to face it alone. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, process your emotions, and begin to heal.

I work with individuals aged 16+ who may be coming to terms with the realisation that something in their life is not working for them, it's working against them. They want to come to terms with it and/or work on changing it. This could be a combination of issues. A past experience, identity issues, overwhelming emotions or relationship struggles to name a few. They want to live a life that aligns with them better, be present in their lives and gain resilience if life becomes difficult again. Therapy offers the possibility for this.

Many people have had an experience of therapy in the past and it has not produced the results they wanted. This in part can be due to the person going to see a therapist who is trained in one specific therapeutic modality (approach), who then tries to make the client fit that one approach. Collaboratively, we will work together to help you feel better, happier, more in control and confident in who you are as a person. As you begin to understand yourself and why you do things more, this will open you up to greater awareness in all parts of your life; home, work and relationships.
