Counselling in Hove

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.

Is anything troubling you, do you feel stuck, lost or just struggling? Now is the time to reach out, contact me for a free session, see how we get along. I successfully support all my clients, and therapists for over 40 years through counselling/psychotherapy & supervision, working in a very different way to most therapists. I will teach you successful journalling, guide you to feel empowered, make those significant, essential life changes, towards becoming your own therapist. I will help you to develop deeper insight and awareness, prioritise your needs, feel empowered, set boundaries, move forwards with strength and authenticity.

Does something need to change for you? Are you struggling in your relationships, career, feeling anxious, depressed, traumatised or grieving a loved one, tired of being overwhelmed, confused, sad or mis-understood? Sometimes, something just isn't right. I am here to heIp. I offer counselling to adults and young people over 18 years, with a wide range of issues. My core training is in Transactional Analysis, but I integrate other modalities into my work, offering a flexible, personalised approach. I have additional training in working with traumatised and bereaved clients. I offer short or long term therapy tailored to your needs.

Life can be difficult, unpredictable and chaotic. Sometimes we can believe that we are 'doomed' to a life we must just 'get' through, and we can feel overwhelmed, anxious and lacking in self confidence . Or we get stuck in repetitive patterns in our relationships or career that continue to make us miserable. If you feel unable or unsure how to make the changes you want to make, I can support you to free yourself from the grip of anxiety, help you to build your confidence and self esteem and enable you to feel more motivated, connected and fulfilled in yourself, your life and your relationship with others.

Hello, I'm Pippa and I have more than 10 years' experience helping stressed and anxious teenagers feel better, build confidence in themselves and find healthier ways to cope. I really understand how all consuming it is when you're worried about your child. They might be worried about school, relationships with friends or family or perhaps feeling on edge, overwhelmed or sad and tearful without knowing why. Sometimes it can be really helpful to have a trusted adult outside the family who can give a supportive space to your young person and guide you all through the process towards feeling better.

Deciding to seek therapy can seem like a daunting process. Not only are you bravely taking steps to face the challenges in your life, you are choosing to share your unique story, perhaps for the first time, with a complete stranger. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or another form of distress in the complex spectrum of human suffering, or maybe you want to discover more of who you are. Whilst not aiming to solve your problems, I hope to help you develop greater self-awareness, understanding and acceptance, developing resilience, uncovering new meaning and potential for change.

If you are feeling lonely, sad or have a low mood, I encourage you to seek support. Talking therapy can help you gain a better understanding of how you are feeling, why it might be and what you can do to help yourself.

Welcome to Start Something Counselling and Psychotherapy. I understand that life can be challenging. Sometimes specific events and experiences create pain and emotional discomfort.

Hi, I'm Julie. Since 2013, I’ve worked with people from all over the world to offer a warm, reflective space where they can build the tools they need to live more fully. Typically, my integrative approach helps people move forward with challenges such as: - Anxiety and depression - ADHD - Hypersensitivity - Bipolar disorders - Feelings of difference rooted in neurodivergence - Professional, social and interpersonal struggles. Therapy is ultimately about better understanding yourself, and using that understanding to enhance your life.

Taking the first step to talk to someone can feel difficult. Perhaps you're clear about how you feel or maybe you're confused and it's difficult to put your feelings into words. You may have felt this way for a while and you're not sure why. Maybe you're in a difficult relationship or you feel that your relationships don't last. Many of us struggle to make a life transition or cope with a change or loss in our lives. Perhaps you feel your life is lacking meaning. I can help you make sense of these experiences by understanding their meaning for you and help you gain a greater understanding of yourself in the process.

I’m a counselling therapist based in Hove, Brighton. I specialise in addiction but work with many other issues too including couples. We will explore & endeavour to shed new light on your way of being in the world, thus far, & how your past has informed your sense of self in the present & how you might want to enhance your life still further by bringing yourself out of the shadows & into the light? We don’t see the world as it is but as we; so who are we, really? I use “parts” work to free us to “Self-lead” to restore calmness; clarity; confidence; connectedness; compassion; courage; creativity; curiosity in & around us………………………

Therapeutic goals vary greatly from person to person and I am happy to work on any element of self development or exploration.

Sessions can reach unexpected places which requires my clients to have an element of open-mindedness, bravery and honesty.

The idea of starting therapy may be overwhelming. You may be feeling anxious, depressed or lost, and not knowing how you got to where you are now. I aim to listen to you share your problems, stories and experiences.

I work relationally, meaning that I am invested in supporting you to achieve your goals.
