Counselling in Hove

I am a Child, Adolescent & Young Adult Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Autogenic Therapist and offer Individual Psychotherapy (-25), Child Parent Psychotherapy, Infant Parent Psychotherapy and Autogenic Training (meditative self-help technique for children and adults). The approach of Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists seeks to look beneath the surface of difficult emotions, behaviours and relationships to help young people and their families to understand themselves and their problems. In addition to my private practice, I work for Oxford CAMHS and teach at the Tavistock Clinic in London.

I am Nikolaos Tzikas, and I specialize in working with children, teenagers, young adults (between the ages of 0 to 25), and parents of children and adolescents. I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist registered with the Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP). I work privately and in an NHS (CAMHS) Crisis Adolescent team in North London.

Are you experiencing feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression or hopelessness? Going through relationship difficulties or missing your loved ones? Painful traumatic past memories? Struggling with an addiction? Life lost it's purpose and meaning? Are you feeling ready for change and to work through personal problems in order to develop greater self insight.

I am a Psychotherapist and a Behaviour Change Expert and would like you to know that your life matters to me. I specialise in Addiction and Relationships where for over 20 years now, I have worked with Individuals of all ages, couples, families and groups in schools, the Priory and the NHS. I hold a Masters in Addiction Psychology and Counselling, a Level 4 Certificate in Counselling Children, an Advanced Diploma in Couple and Relationship Therapy and a Post Graduate Diploma in Trauma.

Working therapeutically with children and teenagers is different from therapy with adults, it requires specialist skills and knowledge. My graduate training included a Masters and 5 years clinical at the Tavistock and Portman (NHS), a world centre for Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. I work as a Senior Psychotherapist in CAMHS (NHS) and privately with 2 to 25 year olds, and have significant clinical experience in evidence based psychotherapy for depression, self harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, abuse, tics, phobias, eating disorders, adoption, illness, trauma, ADHD, school and family problems, and body, trans and gender issues.

I provide psychological treatment to clients suffering from a wide range of difficulties and conditions, including Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Interpersonal problems, PTSD, Complex trauma and Anger management. Some of my clients may suffer from longterm difficulties, such as struggling to manage strong emotions and struggle to maintain close and significant relationships with others. Other clients may present with specific difficulties, such as career changes, family tensions or facing periods of particular stress. I also work with parents, who are struggling to bond with their children.

Seeking therapy can be a difficult decision and often takes a great deal of courage. I believe therapy can benefit many aspects of our lives through discovering new perspectives and possibilities. In our meetings, I hope to create a collaborative relationship where we can engage in genuine, open and honest dialogue so that new meanings about your life and relationships can emerge. This will include a warm, compassionate and curious stance towards the concerns you bring. I offer a therapeutic style that encourages continuous feedback to ensure we are both working towards the same aim, and can adjust my approach to best support you.

I am BACP and EMDR Europe accredited Consultant for both adults and children and young people. I work within the professional standards required for these professional bodies. I have 19 years experience providing therapeutic intervention for adults, children and young people who have experienced trauma from a wide range of difficulties, such as bereavement, abuse, relationship issues, depression, anxiety . This enables me to be creative and flexible in relation to the way my clients wish to work. I recognise the importance of working within the BACP ethical framework, which informs me of best practice and professional integrity.

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. I offer my services online or in person. I am here to provide a non-judgemental, safe space. Please contact me if you feel you, or someone close to you, need help with anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationships, gender identity, substance misuse, addiction, or anger. If you feel there is a family matter you wish to explore and/or resolve, or if you just feel you would like to explore who you are and how you relate to others in general. I am here if your organisation needs staff and/or member support in the form of therapy or education. I adhere to the BACP and the BPS ethical frameworks.

I am an experienced counsellor also offering supervision for counsellors. I work with children , young people, adults and families. Life is tough and I therefore offer support for people who are struggling with their mental health. I have worked in education for the past 10 years working in primary and secondary schools and now in a university setting. I provide counselling to marginalised populations, including clients of Asian Black African/African-Caribbean heritage and those from the LGBTQIA+ community and potentially struggling with their sexuality and/or identity.

Hi, I’m Ilan! I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Oak Tree Practice. I want to tell you a bit more about myself, as I realise selecting a psychologist can be a tough task! I feel very privileged to be able to say I love what I do and always have, ever since I started volunteering for ChildLine in 2007. Following this, I’ve had experience working with a wide variety of clients including children, young people, adults, older adults, military personnel, individuals with learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. I have also furthered my studies through the completion of undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. All this aside, one of the most important parts of my work is building relationships with those sitting opposite me. I have always believed that you can have all the training and knowledge in the world, but if the client doesn’t return, none of this can be put into action. Therefore, my first aim is always to provide a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can work on the clients’ difficulties together.

I am a Clinical Psychologist specialising in work with children, adolescents, young adults and families. When emotional problems arise it can be difficult to acknowledge them and know where to turn. Your search for help, for yourself or for your child, may have begun with difficulties in relationships or feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed or frustrated. I seek to understand these feelings and understand them as signposts to underlying challenges. I work at multiple levels to affect change and aim to help you have an increased sense of freedom and enjoyment in individual and/or family life.

I am Professor Michael Atar, a psychoanalytic parent-infant psychotherapist. I work with families, parents, carers, and their children, drawing on my expertise from various life experiences such as my medical background, working as a paediatric dentist for over 25 years, and being a father of a large family with children of various ages. Whilst I do adopt a psychoanalytic observational stance, I don’t approach therapy from the position of “expert”. My belief in therapy focuses on awareness, understanding, and gentle support. As the word therapy suggests facilitating and serving, my work emphasises a collaborative experience.

If you have barriers to expressing yourself, understanding emotions or feeling creative, music therapy could be for you. My primary aim is to get to know you for who you are and, through sensitive verbal and musical interaction, celebrate your personality, creativity and potential. Whatever challenges you experience, I hope to give you a sense of connection, acceptance and understanding.

My focus in therapy is on a person's life and relationships, past and present. I regard symptoms or behaviour patterns as expressions of distress connected to life circumstances. My style is fairly active, but I'm careful to listen and check what I have heard. I pay attention to a person's narrative, including successes as well as difficulties. I am happy to share knowledge that might help my client or point to resources. Most of my work is relatively short term (12 sessions or less). Typically I start off with a questionnaire which includes client ideas about the goals of our work together.
