Counselling in Hove

Current availability - Thurs/Fri from AM to PM. We're living through a strange and uncertain time. Know that I am available to support you and that help is available. I am a Humanistic counsellor and work with Gestalt methods - please do ask if this is unfamiliar language to you. I identify as a gay man and part of the queer, LGBTQ+ and GSRD communities. I have experience working with people of a range of gender identities and sexualities (in my private work and in the past with the LGBTQ+ mental health charity MindOut) and work towards an inclusive and anti-racist practice. I am a trans and nonbinary ally and a feminist.

As a psychodynamic counsellor, I believe our earlier life experiences persist in affecting our ways of behaving, relating and feeling in the present, and in ways that are sometimes unconscious. Yet whilst our pasts may be a key to understanding ourselves better, good counselling should help us make changes that allow us to live more fully in the here and now and influence our futures. Of course, therapy can bring up difficult feelings, but it can also be a useful, rewarding and enjoyable process for those who want it!

Hello and welcome. I'm a warm and approachable counsellor, working with stuckness, confusion, depression, feelings of failure, indecision, procrastination, inner critic/self sabotage and low self esteem (and other issues too).

I am a warm and compassionate Consultant Clinical Psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society, Health and Care Professions Council, and the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies.
 I have over 15 years experience in the NHS and have worked in various positions and different contexts, working with adults and young people. My most recent post was as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist working across three prisons in Surrey. I have extensive experience of providing psychological therapy, draw on the latest evidence, and tailor the therapy to your current needs and presenting difficulties.

First Online Session is Free to explore therapy, see if we are a good fit. I work with short and long-term sessions. I will help you achieve positive thoughts and changes in a very different way to most therapists. I support you to embrace a depth of work with challenging (and always compassionate) processes, to feel empowered, gain insight, move forwards with absolute insight, strength and positivity.

People seek therapy at different points in their lives and for many unique reasons. You may be feeling anxious, depressed or 'stuck'. There may be a sense of not reaching your potential, or difficulties in a relationship. It may be challenging health or mental-health. You may have experienced a transition, loss or bereavement, wish to work through difficult life experiences, or make sense of your own behavior patterns... ​I work with several therapeutic models and will follow your lead to work in a way most helpful to you. In a safe, collaborative relationship we can work together to understand where you are and what you need.

HI, I am a Person-Centred/Humanistic Counsellor, my service MacfarlaneTherapy is based in Brighton & Hove. This is where I offer individual counselling for 18yrs+. I specialise in working with a few main areas, these are: LGBTQI+, Sexuality & Gender, Trauma, relationships and addictions.

Hello I’m Selene. I have 20 years of experience as a counsellor. I am a warm and open-minded person with a good sense of humour. I offer a welcoming and confidential space where we can together create an empowering therapeutic relationship. I believe you are an expert in your own life and my role is to support and challenge you reconnecting with yourself and your strengths. Counselling is an opportunity to give yourself the time and space to imagine who you want to be. Sometimes fear and shame make us stuck and disconnected from others and not able to ask for what we want. Therapy can help you free yourself and open connection.

Sometimes, life feels a little out of balance. It's important that we find our own answers to the things that concern us about our lives. It's also important that we find a way to do this that suits our preferences, our needs and our styles. It's vital that we find a place where we can consider those questions about our lives and the situations we find ourselves in with patience, compassion and care. Finding a counsellor or psychotherapist to be with us can bring enormous benefit during difficult times.

Sometimes it’s difficult to know where you can turn to talk through family issues and get some help. Often those closest to you are very involved themselves. Or you don’t want to worry them. It may be that you don’t know where to turn. I am a highly experienced Child Psychotherapist. I offer therapy and mental health support for children and young people and consultation to the people who care for them. Therapy provides a safe space to explore issues that might be troubling someone, be it anxiety, stress and unhappiness; separation and loss; worries about school; gender and sexuality; low self esteem or any number of other things.

I have substantial experience working with children and young people of all ages and their parents. I am licenced to work with young people up to the age of 25. I am able to work with young people presenting with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, peer relationship difficulties, school issues, behavioural difficulties, anger outbursts, emotional regulation issues, low self-esteem, trauma, bereavement, separation anxiety, eating disorders, and gender identity issues, amongst others.

My ideal client is a person who is engaged in the process of healing and transformation. Who knows or wants to know that life is complex and can bring themselves to the session with a spirit of curiosity and compassion.

Mob: 07557 358139. I work with adults and young people from various nationalities and cultures presenting a wide range of wellbeing issues. Sessions face-to-face, online video and telephone, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Living and working in the UK for over 25 years. Grounded in the humanistic approach which focus on the human potential for creativity, love, growth, fulfilmentent and wellgeing, I'm committed to helping each of my clients to make sense of their circumstances, identifying choices for change and supporting them during the process of change; or simply supporting them on their self-development journey.

At times life can be difficult. Sometimes it may feel like life isn’t moving forward and you keep repeating the same old patterns and nothing changes. You may be dwelling on the past or worried about the present or the future. You may just be in a place of general unhappiness where you just don’t know what to do. In developing a better understanding of ourselves, increasing our awareness, and learning about how we operate as people we are able to make fresh choices, see new perspectives, change things, move forward and find our full potential. I believe in peoples capacity to thrive when they are given the right conditions to do so.
