Hello, I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor offering affordable counselling in Brighton. Many of us think about trying counselling at some point in our lives. Perhaps you have experienced a loss recently, or a change which you are struggling to adjust to or cope with. You may feel lost, stuck, or troubled by something from the past. Whatever brings you to counselling, my aim is to provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore the issues which matter to you, and work together to find some clarity and a way forward which feels right for you.

Well done for taking the first step towards seeking more support. I know finding the right therapist can be overwhelming. Hi. I'm Bex (she/they). Therapy with me is non-judgmental, kind, and down-to-earth. It's a space to focus on you. I'm trauma-led, and I often work with women, queer, and neurodivergent people. I'm neuro-queer (with ADHD), too. I'm work hard to be anti-racist. In sessions, we'll uncover what's blocking you from where you want to be. I welcome any tricky, messy stuff; you do not need to have it figured out. I work in Brighton on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, in London Bridge on Thursdays, and online.

Do you feel drained and exhausted but don’t really know why? Do you observe other people around you seemingly effortlessly manage tasks that you seem unable to accomplish? Do you notice repeating patterns in your relationships or at work? Do you feel stuck? Do you feel you never found out who you really are or what you are good at? Do your passions, interests, relationships or jobs change all the time? Do you feel like you will never find out what you really want? Would you like to have more connection with yourself? Find more access to that inner voice that seems to know what you really need, deep inside?

Have you ever felt an unpleasant heaviness on your chest or tummy? There may be a struggle to articulate your thoughts, leading to a sensation of suffocation in your throat. Have you ever felt like avoiding others for fear of getting hurt, or you may have felt disconnected and unheard? You want to show strength and courage; instead, you feel afraid and helpless.

Do you feel like everything is just too overwhelming? I know how scary it can be to reach out and ask for help, especially when life is already a struggle. I believe that nobody should have to face their difficulties alone. Which is why I commit to providing you with a warm, accepting and safe space where we can explore your challenges together. I am passionate about making counselling as easy as possible to access. Providing remote sessions that you can attend from any safe and private space. My lived experience of chronic illness and neurodivergence mean I understand first hand some of the barriers faced in accessing support.

Hello, I’m Louise, a Humanistic Counsellor with over 10 years’ experience working with trauma, abuse, and difficult relationships. I specialise in domestic and sexual abuse, childhood trauma, and narcissistic relationships, including coercive control.

As a BABCP accredited therapist and midwife, I have worked and specialised in maternal mental health for the last 9 years. With the benefit of my clinical expertise and real-world understanding I support people who may be struggling with issues around pregnancy, loss, birth and becoming a parent. Often people find it hard to talk about their feelings at this time, when there are so many pressures arising from being told how you 'ought' to feel, act or behave. It can make it hard to admit that you’re struggling. Difficult feelings may arise maybe with a new pregnancy, or many years later when something triggers tricky memories.

Do you feel like something needs to change? Although everyone has their own unique reasons for deciding to see a therapist, most people will be driven by a feeling that something in their life needs to change. Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety or depression, or an addiction or addictive behaviour has started to dominate your days? Perhaps you are struggling to let go of a bad experience from your past? Maybe low self-esteem is limiting your potential? Or it could be that you just don’t feel like ‘you’ anymore…. Whatever you are facing, I can help.

There are many reasons for coming to therapy but it’s not always easy to know how to get started. By coming to my profile, you have already taken the first step. You might be very clear about what brings you to therapy and what you want to achieve from it. Or you may not know exactly how to express what you’re feeling, but you know that talking to someone in a safe space may help. Perhaps a recent event has left you feeling de-stabilised, or you still feel affected by something that happened long ago. Maybe you would like to find out more about yourself and how you are impacted by your behaviour or of those around you.
