Women's Issues Counselling in Hove

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.

Life presents a multitude of events, challenges and obstacles, that at times can be difficult to surmount. Each person meets these with different perspectives and emotions; these differences are part of what makes us human. Another vital part of being human is the need for connection and to share what we are experiencing, to help make sense of our existence. But if you're feeling overwhelmed and resources are depleted, it can be hard to find space to reflect and find a way through.

My name is Ellen and I am a BACP accredited, experienced Counsellor, trained in individual counselling, couple counselling and EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing). I offer a warm, confidential, non-judgmental space to work collaboratively with whatever issues you are bringing to therapy. I have worked with clients for over 17 years, in the voluntary sector and in private practice. In addition I am the part-time CEO of a women's counselling Charity in Brighton & Hove.

Hello, I am Dr Rima Lamba. I'm a feminist counselling psychologist with an interest in the unique experiences of women from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I work closely with women who have struggled with self esteem & identity, relationship issues, difficulties in motherhood, life transitions, attachment and early trauma, and transgenerational trauma. I am particularly interested in the structural power differences that impact people, so I work closely on issues to do with patriarchy, race, culture and more. I also work with a team of therapists who can support clients, including adult families.

I am a very compassionate person, supportive and warm who will help you to deal with the difficulties of life.

Are you struggling with relationship issues? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, emotional pain, challenging life transitions, workplace conflict, or loss? Do you feel stuck? Do you have unresolved family or boundary issues? Do you want to bring about positive change by identifying the tensions and negative thought patterns holding you back, as well as identifying any unhelpful ways of relating to oneself, others and the rest of the world? You are not alone - Talking to a psychotherapeutic counsellor can help.

I offer a simple, practical approach that will help you improve your wellbeing. ​We all struggle in our lives, but there are ways of struggling less and feeling-good more. The 'talk-explore-change' approach is for everyone, and it can give you a chance to understand yourself and your problems, as well as to regulate your emotions, you thoughts and your behaviours. In 3 simple steps you can offload (experience relief and calmness), understand yourself (gain awareness and clarity), adjust what doesn't work (move forward).

I believe that even when faced with what may seem to be insurmountable difficulties, we all have the capacity to heal, recover from the traumatic experiences we may have faced, and live life more fully. Taking the first step on a healing journey can be challenging but finding the right therapist that you can trust and feel comfortable with can make all the difference in helping you move forward and feel safe and supported in exploring the issues you want to work with.

Hello, I work close to nature, in a private and quiet garden cabin and my dog Bertie is with me when he feels to! I want to support you to be OK with yourself. Some of the following questions we might over the time we work together: What are your needs and are you able to express them? What you would like to change in your life and how would life be different after counselling? How do you see yourself and the world and how do you feel you are seen? I like to work creatively, using therapeutic tools to help you connect to different parts of yourself such as sandtray, body awareness, and IFS; exploring what works for you.

I am a qualified clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience working with adults with a range of difficulties including trauma, abuse, difficulties in relationships, self-harm, depression and anxiety. You may be quite clear about what your difficulties are and what help you would like or just feel unhappy and have a sense that your life is not going quite as you had hoped. I can work with you to think about why difficulties have arisen and how you can make changes in the here and now to help your life move forward.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page. I am sorry if you or someone you care for is finding life difficult at the moment. My approach to therapy is very straightforward, I believe we all have the capacity to heal and feel better given the right tools and relational healing. If you are troubled by persistent negative thought patterns or traumatic experiences I will work together with you to process these and move forward with your life. Everybody needs help from time to time and therapy offers a collaborative space where I can enable you grow, change and challenge yourself with my support.

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the challenges we face. I offer an easy-going and confidential​ digital space to unpack what is troubling you. I have experience working with a variety of issues, such as anxiety and depression, trauma, bereavement, personality disorders, life transitions, relationship issues, questions around identity, sexuality, addiction & recovery processes. It's easy to say, "I'm fine" when often, quite the opposite is true. My work as a Psychotherapist is informed by an Integrative/Pluralistic approach. I work at your pace to meet your needs. www.sorensentherapy.space

I am a fully qualified psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with over 15 years experience of working with a broad range of clients including those experiencing low mood, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and emotional instability. I have a particular interest in attachment and relational trauma and the way this impacts how we understand our own thoughts, feelings and experiences as well as our capacity to form relationships with others (partners, friends, children, colleagues).

Thanks for stopping at my profile. I'm a qualified Psychotherapist & member of the BACP, UKCP & EMDR Association UK, based in Hove, Worthing & Haywards Heath (and online). I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental & empathic stance, and challenge where appropriate. My role is to help you understand the issues you bring to therapy, including your past experiences, determining patterns that haven't served you well & the reasons behind your distress. I assist you in altering unhelpful patterns to alleviate your emotional pain & work towards making the life changes that you want, while gaining more positive experiences of the world.

At times, we may all feel confused and overwhelmed with emotional difficulties, as I have also experienced. As a counsellor I will offer you an opportunity for you to talk and be heard, in a safe, compassionate and supportive way.​ I will work with you, at your pace, in a confidential space where you can explore what's going on in your life, increasing your self awareness, enabling you to connect to your thoughts and feelings. I offer flexible appointment times and have experience of working with a wide range of people. Some of the issues people have brought have included: depression, stress, relationships, trauma and bereavement

Are you concerned about things that seem out of your control? Do you find yourself worrying about the future and that this worry impacts on your daily life? I specialise in climate awareness and take an ecological and systemic approach to therapy. I also am studying The Work That Reconnects and involved in Climate Cafes and the Climate Psychology Alliance to help individuals and communities build resilience and resources in this time of uncertainty.

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).

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming: anxiety, lack of self-esteem, self-criticism, grief, life changes – are you struggling with issues and difficult feelings that are hard to manage alone, perhaps even more in this current climate? Attentive, respectful and caring therapy can be a powerfully supportive and healing choice towards regaining a sense of hope and purpose. Together we work to gently uncover what you need to be able to live in a more fulfilled, meaningful and satisfying way.
