"

"My name is Sarah. I'm a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic counsellor and member of the BACP, based in Brighton & Hove (Brighton Counselling Collective). I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental and 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 and the reasons behind your distress, then assist you in altering unhelpful patterns to alleviate your emotional pain and work towards making the life changes that you want, while gaining more positive experiences of the world."

"Taking the first step to talk to someone can be difficult. You may be feeling sad, fearful, angry or lonely. Perhaps you've been feeling this way for too long 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."

"I am an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I work with adults in private practice in Hove in connection with Brighton Counselling Collective, where I am a founding member. I work with a range of clients, presenting with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, difficulties in relationships, addiction and eating disorders. I have a particular interest in feminist psychology (but not exclusively), which enables me to have an awareness of societal, cultural and political challenges that women face in a world that puts particular pressure on women to behave and look a certain way. "

"Accessing counselling for the first time can feel daunting, and it is important that you feel comfortable. If there is dissatisfaction in your life, or pain that needs to be resolved, be it, the pain of anxiety, anger, depression or bereavement, counselling can help. I work relationally, and together we can explore and work towards you having more satisfying, healthier, and more fulfilling relationships. Ongoing, we can look together at how to develop skills to solve future issues. "

"Hi I'm Sean. If you are troubled by anger, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relationship issues, or are struggling to find meaning in your life, please contact me on 07896947243. I encourage you to be honest and open about your issues, as well as what does and doesn’t work for you in the sessions. The more you share the more you will learn from any insights from your experiences. I offer a safe space where we can co-create a trusting relationship which will help you to understand your experience, how you relate to yourself and others, and learn useful ways to develop resilience to resolve your problems."

"I wonder what has motivated you to look for a therapist? What have you tried so far? Do you feel friends and family don’t understand you? Together we will explore your needs, finding acceptance and coping with some of the situations you are experiencing at present, overcoming anxiety and supporting you when you decide to make changes. Most people experience times in their lives that appear to have no tangible solution. Talking through your problems in a safe, neutral, non-judgmental space can help you work through difficulties, gaining a different perspective and increasing your understanding of yourself enhancing your wellbeing."

"I have been in practise for 7 years, both in private practise and working for The Young People' s Centre Brighton. My belief is only you can be the expert on yourself and therefore I aim to provide the conditions which allow you to explore your motivations and themes and make meaning from your own experience. I offer an empathic, non judgemental and respectful space. By building a relationship based on acceptance it becomes possible to look at, recognise and understand where problems in your life have arisen"

"At times in our lives we all could use some space to reflect on our personal issues and relationships. ​Counselling offers an opportunity to examine some of the difficulties we face in life, helping us to gain insight and understanding and to move forward with greater clarity. It can help you to reflect on the past and recognise its impact on the present. It can also help you to recognise patterns in your thinking and behaviour that may hold you back from who you want to be. Counselling may also provide you with support whilst you are going through times of change or facing particular challenges. "

"Hello, I'm Rosie. I offer a confidential space for you to come and explore thoughts, feelings and issues you may be currently struggling with. People come to counselling for many different reasons, such as trying to make sense of a difficult period in their life or possibly an increasing awareness of a problem that has always been there. I believe compassion for self and others is central to finding contentment and much of my work focuses on this. Without self compassion our loud critical voices can prevent us from living in the moment and allowing people we love close to us. "

"You may want to talk about anxiety, addiction or depression; you may be looking to cope with some life event such as a bereavement, divorce, redundancy or a relationship problem; or you might be feeling stuck in a rut and that you want more out of life. You will be able to explore what might lie behind the feelings you're experiencing, or what might lie behind certain behaviours that you're not finding helpful. All these things can be helped and supported by talking in a safe and confidential space."

"It's not always an easy decision to come for therapy and you may decide to come to seek additional support for something that has been worrying you for a while or due to a current upset such as a relationship breakdown or bereavement. I am a professionally qualified therapist with over 15 years experience. The therapeutic relationship allows you the time and space to explore things that are causing you distress and/or anxiety. I can help you to explore your past and how it may help you to understand your current situation. I give you the opportunity to explore the way you are feeling and gain a more empowered sense of self. "

"As a Person Centred Counsellor, our meetings will not be about me, they will focus on you and anything that you want to explore. I will help you find solutions to your problems with honesty and integrity. I believe that a trusting relationship between client and counsellor is the most important aspect of therapy. My personal experience during the more difficult and chaotic times in my life combined with my wide range of counselling work, means that I can help you to explore your difficulties with empathy and without judgment. My aim is to provide you with a space where you feel relaxed and safe to talk about absolutely anything."

"Loss, depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, and changes in self and life beyond our control can all bring us to a place where we are distressed, overwhelmed and in need of help. Feelings can spill out into our lives, and things can feel out of control. We can feel stuck in a cycle of negative feelings, thoughts and actions, or lost without choice or agency in our lives as other people's needs and voices over-rule us. It can get to a point where we struggle to make sense of everything that's going on in our heads and hearts, and we feel isolated and alone."

"I provide a safe space for you to explore what's troubling you. Counselling can help you connect with your feelings and needs this helps you know your right way forward. I work with clients without judgement, to help you improve how you feel about yourself and how you relate to yourself. It's important to me that the way I work with clients empowers them to make their own choices, within the support of an honest and accepting relationship. I have an interest in how our body wisdom can also help show us what we need."

"Hi, I'm Kristin. I have been a counsellor for over fifteen years, and have been blessed and trusted with countless stories of the human experience. I consider it an honour and a privilege to help others purposefully and consciously connect with their own power. We all, at times, need support and guidance as we become aware of what we need to heal and attempt to navigate life’s challenges with authenticity and grace. It takes courage and vulnerability to ask for help; and sometimes it takes patience and commitment to find the right help. If you are curious to find out how I can help you…let’s chat. "

"At different stages in our lives, we encounter difficulties that prevent us from fully enjoying life. It can be anything from anxiety and depression, to the loss of a person (through death or relationship breakdown), to deeply rooted emotional issues (such as low self-esteem or inability to form relationships). Other times, we are unable to fully explain what is troubling us - we just know that something is. Asking for help can be difficult - finding the right kind of help and support can be more challenging. With each person and difficulty being unique, I tailor my approach to suit each client's needs and communication style."

"At certain times in our lives most of us can reach a place where things aren’t quite how we want them to be. It may be a feeling of ‘stuckness’ with a close relationship or at work. Or it may be a much deeper feeling of depression or despair. The counselling room is a unique space where you are free to explore – with non-judgemental guidance – what is going on in your life and how to review, revisit and perhaps change the things which are troubling you or holding you back.
