Counselling in Hastings

Hi, I am Charlotte, I work with individuals aged 18 and over for a variety of reasons including anxiety, low self esteem, depression, family and relationship issues. I am able to provide a confidential environment where I aim to establish mutual trust with an open and empathetic approach. Counselling can help you understand your situation and offers a space to talk about whats going on for you.

I am a fully accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist and psychodynamic counsellor. I have worked extensively in both the NHS and charitable sectors as a manager, supervisor and lecturer. I offer specialist interventions for both assessments and treatments. I work autonomously within the ethical guidelines of both the BABCP and the BACP. I offer therapy for depression and anxiety and related and co-morbid disorders. I am an empathic, caring and non judgemental therapist who is keen to support you to meet your goals and feel better. I am actively engaged in keeping up to date with developments in my field.

I can offer a safe, confidential, accepting and non-judgmental space, with a focus on providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative counselling to all clients who identify as LGBTQIA+ or are exploring their identity and sexuality, as well as their family and friends who may need an understanding counsellor to work with. I also offer counselling to people who are looking for support for other life challenges and currently work with children and young people of secondary school age within an organisation providing counselling in schools. As a member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, I work closely to their ethical framework.

Hi, I am a qualified person-centred counsellor in Hastings with experience of working with adults, adolescents and children. I offer a holistic and creative approach to therapy, where I have extensive training and experience working with a wide range of issues. I understand seeking counselling can be a very difficult daunting process. I am naturally empathic, supportive and non-judgmental. I am passionate in my belief of working together to create a trusting authentic therapeutic relationship, to explore potentially difficult and tender aspects of your life in a safe and confidential space.

This has been such a strange and demanding time. It has given many of us time to reflect on our lives and adjust our priorities. And for others it has increased anxieties and highlighted fears. You may be looking for support in understanding a difficult period or relationship in your life. You may be feeling desperate or feeling things just aren't right. Putting concerns into words and sharing your thoughts and feelings can be the first step to addressing the issues and resolving them. A better relationship with yourself is often a happy outcome.

There can be many reasons for accessing therapy and it is well understood that this can be a daunting process. Reading this means you have taken the first step towards finding a Counsellor. My approach to therapy is Person-Centred. I aim to offer a calm, honest and non-judgemental therapeutic space. As a result, my hope would be that you feel safe enough to unpack your feelings and concerns; increase yourself awareness and to move towards and reach your fullest potential. I can offer counselling in many areas with my specialities being Transgender awareness, substance & alcohol abuse, grief & loss counselling.

My name's Chris and I'm a UKCP psychotherapist in advanced training based in Hastings, East Sussex. I'm committed to helping you explore your experience and your unique place in the world. I work with individuals, couples, and groups from all backgrounds and affirm cultural and identity diversity. I am practiced in helping clients with relationship, sexual and intimacy issues, as well as adverse childhood experiences. I also work with addictions. Maybe you are feeling generally anxious or low or feel that your life lacks focus, purpose, or meaning. Alongside you, I can help you make sense of your situation.

'I just want to be free from my anxiety.' 'I hate my body and will never be happy with my true self.'  Maybe it's crippling anxiety where you're fearful of every situation, whether it's the now or related to a past trauma. Perhaps you lack confidence in body & self, disliking yourself and feeling like you don't know who you are which causes you to be afraid to be your true self. Perhaps it's attachment patterns in relationships, fear of trusting due to being let down & abandoned, the terror of ending up hurt and alone. Well, I can help. After all, Tom, Dick or Harry telling us that 'It'll be okay' is well meaning but does it help?

If you are looking to come to therapy for the first time or are wanting a deeper exploration of old troubles I can offer you my undivided attention. I know how challenging it can be and yet how exciting. I hope that together we will be able to make sense of the confusions and struggles of the twenty first century world as you experience it. Loss, relationship breakdown, anxiety and depression, trauma past or present, sexuality or gender conundrums set in the backdrop of climate crisis, war, rocketing inflation and pandemic recovery are all grist to the mill of personal growth.

I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and have a doctorate in Psychotherapeutic and Counselling Psychology from the University of Surrey. Prior to this qualification I was awarded a Bachelor of Science (First Class Honours) degree in Psychology with Clinical Psychology from the University of Kent. I have a wide range of experience working within a number of Community Mental Health Teams and Psychological Services Departments for the Kent and Medway NHS Foundation Trust. These roles involved working with a broad spectrum of psychological distress ranging from mild to severe and enduring.

I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative person-centred counsellor based in Hastings. In a society where we are championed for being happy, strong and in control, it can seem daunting and even impossible at times to talk about how we truly feel in fear of becoming a burden or being judged. I offer a safe, accepting and compassionate space for you to be completely yourself, where you can experience your emotions without judgement. Together, we can explore what it is that has brought you to counselling at your own pace.

Hello, my name is John. I have worked in private practice as a psychotherapist for over fifteen years with individuals and couples ranging from 16 to over 70. In that time, I have worked with a broad spectrum of people from many cultural backgrounds presenting an array of issues. Everyone is different. Over the years I have I have found that the more the client trusts in me the better the result. Therefore, I endeavour to build a strong therapeutic alliance, one where we can be honest with each other, this can take time depending on the client.

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing things aren’t feeling quite ‘right’ in your life at the moment. Perhaps you’re struggling with some difficult thoughts or feelings. Perhaps you’ve hit a fork in the road and you’re unsure which way to go. Perhaps you’re not really sure what ‘it’ is that needs to change. I believe that opening up and sharing your concerns with someone who is trained to listen and respond to you, is the first step in working through them. While counselling can’t remove the challenging experiences that you're facing, it can help to empower you so you can move through them with strength and purpose.

Maybe you are seeking transformational change in your thinking. I have extensive experience in working with alcohol and substance misuse, sexual abuse and much more. I work positively to improving your well-bieng

I am a highly experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Child & Family Psychotherapist with over twenty years experience working with Children, Adolescence (CAMHS), Families and Adult mental well being. My clinical services are based in Hastings and Brighton. I provide psychological clinical services to help with psychological distress such as anxiety, low mood, poor self-esteem, complex trauma and eating disorders. I offer a friendly, flexible and holistic approach, providing a range of therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual's or families' needs.

During the decade that I have been working with clients I’ve supported them with a variety of issues, especially around identity and gaining deeper self-knowledge, around marginalisation, and dealing with bigotry and injustice, but also on major life changes, career counselling, and emotional literacy. Some clients use the space to gain self awareness, some to bring about change in their life within a supportive environment in which to reflect and work through fears and trauma, and some wish to resolve specific issues which have recently arisen. I work with individual adult clients of all sexualities and genders.
