Adults Counselling in Littlehampton

Hello I’m Jeni. As an experienced Dramatherapist I have found that when things are too hard to talk about initially, creativity can help us to express and process and then release what no longer serves us. My private practice allows me to work online with adults , and young people, and in a Primary school with a specialist speech and language unit. I have also worked in numerous Secondary schools. I have experience in working with anxiety, low self esteem, pre and post bereavement, fostering and adoption (life story work) neurodiversity and survivors of sexual assault

I am an experienced, Clinical Psychologist offering a service to adults  in West and East Sussex and Online. I specialise in providing skilled assessment and psychological treatment to clients with physical health conditions and neurological diagnoses, as well as those suffering with their mental health. I run an ADHD clinic for clients wishing to undertake a diagnostic ADHD assessment or psychological interventions to help them manage their symptoms. I keep a client's needs firmly at the centre of our work and I tailor my approach according to their hopes for therapy. Please see www.cognifulpsychology.co.uk for more information.

I’m Sarah and I work in a person centred way, this means that I listen with empathy, and I will always regard you and your experiences with compassion and understanding. In this environment, which is warm and supportive, I am committed to helping clients confront and challenge any blocks they may have in their emotional life. This may be around difficult life events. Perhaps you are lacking confidence in the ability to achieve desired goals. Counselling is a safe place to explore complex emotions and to find a way out of depression, low motivation or self esteem. You just need to take the first step.

Do you feel that your life is difficult to cope with, and that you are 'stuck'? Experiencing marital burnout or a relationship crisis? Maybe your child is going through an emotionally tough patch at the moment? I help parents in situations of emerging problems related to children or parents' relationships with children, in situations of parents' doubts about their upbringing methods or doubts resulting from concerns about the child's mental health. What would your life look like if you stopped feeling overwhelmed and found the right way to communicate with your partner or child?

If you are reading this, I imagine that you may be struggling to cope with your feelings. You may really not want to feel the way you do and you may feel you don't know how to change it. As a therapist I hope to offer a space for you to speak and to be heard, to explore how you feel and perhaps why you feel as you do; to give you time to say what you want to say, to say everything you want to say, to communicate. I am interested in working with dreams and with the body. You can see more on the blogs that I have posted on my website.

I have been working as a Counsellor in the NHS in GP surgeries for the last 18 years and I am a Senior accredited Counsellor with the BACP. I have helped people with lots of issues. I can help you make sense of your issues and how you feel in a non judgmental way. We can then work together to find a way forward for you. I am a Licensed Practitioner in Counselling for Depression (CFD) an NHS initiative for improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) as recommended by Nice guidelines. The feedback I have received from clients is that they feel safe, that they can trust me and that I am warm and caring.

If you have a narcissistic parent, I am the right therapist for you! Do you feel like you are living with the consequences of bad parenting? Were you treated badly or unfairly during your childhood by your parent? Do they still treat you badly even though you're an adult? Do they ever give you the silent treatment? Does all this still affect you today, and you can’t stop thinking about the way they treated you? Does this leave you feeling confused and with a low self esteem, but you don’t know what to do about it or how to get over it? If so, then you might be feeling really hurt and alone, unable to see a way out.

Often people wonder how counselling or talking to someone can help. When you see a Counsellor/Therapist, you will have a consistency and continuity of a professional relationship, which provides you a space where you are being properly listened to. This can then allow you to think, and get a clear idea of what is going on for you. Together with your Counsellor/Therapist you can begin to explore and unpack your ideas, views, opinions, etc. This could lead you to more clarity and you may become more mindful of yourself.

We sometimes find it difficult to cope with the things that life throws at us, be it relationship issues, health problems, self esteem and self doubt, anxiety, depression, panic attacks or phobias. Sometimes we just need a safe space where we can explore and talk about the things that worry us with someone who can help us find our own way through the struggle in an empathic and totally non-judgmental way. I am a fully integrative psychotherapist offering counselling and hypnotherapy in a calm, mindful and supportive environment.

Many people I’m speaking with are experiencing an increase in their levels of anxiety, depression and stress due to living in more uncertain times. Do some of the goals you previously had now seen irrelevant or less realistic than they did a few years ago. I’m currently offering a bespoke online course of treatment specifically geared towards helping you through difficult times of uncertainty. Do you have hobbies and interests that have fallen by the wayside in recent years because you have been too busy with others things?

Hello, are you feeling low? experiencing anxiety? dealing with a loss or bereavement? Maybe you are struggling with emotional issues from the past that are intruding in your current life? At times we can find life difficult and struggle to make sense of it. Overcoming our problems on our own or talking with people we are closest to can be hard so speaking confidentially to a counsellor may be what you are looking for. Talking helps you to explore your thoughts and feelings so you can get a clearer view of your life. I will listen without judgement to how it feels to be you so you can discover what really matters to you.

I am a Relate trained relationship counsellor with over 20 years experience. I am very passionate about helping clients move forward and I often challenge and draw upon a vast array of tools to help clients get out of a "stuck" place. My practice offers a wide range of therapies from a variety of approaches to help individuals, couples, children and adolescents with a spectrum of difficulties and symptoms. We are passionate about getting you to the place you want to be. Each counsellor is trained in a range of approaches which enables us to tailor our approach to suit each individual or couple,

Is Anxiety getting in the way of your life? Does any of the following sound familiar? You are very self-critical, You usually imagine the worst case scenario, You overthink decisions, You find negative feedback very hard to handle, You replay your interactions repeatedly. If your answer is yes, you are probably are experiencing anxiety to some degree.

I have a specialist interest in working with people who have suffered or are suffering abuse. Abuse can happen to anyone, any gender any age any type such as physical, emotional, sexual and even financial. I will create a safe environment where it is warm and non judgemental. I will be open and genuine so we are able to work towards growth, change and your full potential. We can do this by talking, or creatively by art or a sand tray, which can bridge what is going on in the unconscious to the conscious to then become aware of what may be holding us back.

Sometimes life gets tough, this is when we really need someone to hear us. Things that have happened to us in the past can be holding us back in our everyday life now, leaving us with a feeling of being stuck. Exploring those events and your feelings surrounding them can help you move forwards. Your experiences are unique to just you so it is important to me that I hear what you are saying and that I understand, as far as possible, how things really are for you. I will listen with total acceptance and non-judgement . Each session will be your chance to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe non-judgemental space

It's Time For You! Are you always there for everyone else, and now need someone to be there for you? Then you have come to the right place! We all need help sometimes, and taking the first step of asking for help is often the hardest. I know, because I’ve been there too. You need time for yourself. How can you be there for others if you are feeling burnt-out? Have you suffered a loss or bereavement? Are you feeling low and anxious? Whatever difficulties you are facing, my job is not to diagnose you, give you advice, or tell you how to fix things. My job is to be by your side as we explore ways to help you find your own answers.

Whatever you are struggling with, whatever is on your mind, whatever is causing you difficulty - I am here to help. Whether it be relationship issues, mental health, stress, work or family - or indeed something else - please contact me and we can talk it through. I have experience, training and qualifications in working with many different people and different issues. Counselling with me will provide you with the space to talk, share, and work through your difficulties and the possible solutions together.

We all struggle at times and sometimes it feels too much for us. Suffering reaches us in so many guises and we all react in our own way. Reaching out for professional help is an important step in working towards the changes that you want. Whether the past is holding you back, the future fills you with anxiety or you are struggling with the 'here and now' I would like to offer my help. There is only so much we can manage alone and sometime our closest relationships are too close to help us see more clearly, to make sense of our confusion and provide a safe place to explore who we really are. That's why I'm here - to help you.
