Counselling in Brighton
Psychotherapy creates space to explore who you are and what is getting in the way of you fulfilling your potential. Anxiety, low mood, mood swings, ADHD, unwelcome trauma symptoms are all ways that the mind is telling us that we need to pay attention to something that we have not been able to face. We will work together to listen with compassion to your deeper self. For some people, group therapy can alleviate isolation and equip you to find and build new relationships that fit you better. It helps build confidence to seek out and join new groups where you can be more yourself. I call this 'finding your tribe'.

I have worked in private practice as a psychotherapist for over thirty years, and as a Jungian psychoanalyst for almost twelve 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.

When life feels challenging, daunting or unfulfilling, it’s usually a result of trauma, difficult life events or relational issues. This can make you feel anxious, depressed and not quite yourself. Trauma sounds scary, but it isn’t always what you think it is. Sometimes trauma is the result of a big, dramatic event in your life. Sometimes, it’s an accumulation of difficult everyday events. You might feel a bit alone, disconnected or misunderstood, and you probably picked up some negative thoughts and habits as a way to cope.

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.

There are many different reasons why people seek out a therapist. You may be dealing with difficult life events right now, or are aware that a past traumatic event is still impacting on you. You might feel a sense of unease or unhappiness that affects your relationships, or work or prevents you from getting the pleasure from life that you would wish, or find unruly emotions hard to manage. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to the patterns that may have developed in your relationship with yourself, others, and the outside world. As we talk you may find resonances with the past, present and future hopes and fears.

If you're feeling confused or anxious, overwhelmed, stressed or a little lost right now, are finding it difficult to gain any clarity on your situation and feel you might benefit from some support to find your next steps forwards, I can help you. Mental and emotional distress are incredibly common within the demands of modern life and are not signs that there is something inherently wrong with us - only that we are presently struggling to cope.
