Hello I am Malcolm Bateup from MB Counselling Services. I provide both 1.1 and couples counselling using an integrative approach that enables individuals and couples to move forward from being stuck by difficult and complex experiences that have happened out of their control in their lives. Due to the pandemic after carrying out a covid risk assessment I have made an ethical decision to provide specialist video link to enable everyone to feel safe rather than my treatment room.

Therapy can help those who would like to: make sense of the past; handle emotions differently; overcome feelings of depression or anxiety; improve relationships with others; live life with more passion, confidence and contentment; be free of self-doubt or shame; make professional changes; improve performance; make difficult choices; move beyond abuse or trauma; deal with things that hold them back in life. I offer support and also, at times, some challenge to help you move beyond your comfort zone and get you where you'd like to be. Reaching out for help can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but it is an act of self-care.

Welcome! I offer a wide range of services & would love to help you. I can work with adults, children & groups of professionals. I can help if you are feeling sad, anxious, have low self esteem, you might be struggling with lifestyle, sleep, routine & creating habits that stick and want some changes. Quite often these things stem from past experience, you might have suffered trauma such as bullying, abuse, parental separation. I am also helping companies and HR managers with creating well-being support & positive changes returning to the 'hybrid' way of working following COVID 19. I also offer Supervision to other practitioners.

Thanks for stopping at my profile. I'm an experienced and dedicated psychodynamic therapist and I work primarily with adults in my private practice in Hove. I am very passionate about psychodynamic therapy as I've had the first-hand experience of how it can help people overcome and resolve a variety of issues, from mild to severe. Psychodynamic therapy is an in-depth psychological intervention which is explorative in nature and focused on free expression. Often open-ended, it offers rewards for those who undertake it that can be life-changing, including a robust sense of self, easier relationships and an ability to live free of fear

If you've noticed you're not feeling the same joy you used to and your worrying about things you didn't used to but you're not sure anyone can help counselling really is the first step towards feeling so much better. I know my life was changed by my own counselling journey and that is why I do what I do. When we understand where are negative patterns stem from we have the ability to change our whole lives and break the cycle for our own children. There are reasons why you are struggling and together we can figure out why you are so stuck. Life can feel so much better and this really is the first step.

I am an accredited therapist with 25 + years experience of working in the field of counselling and 14 years experience of working in private practice with individuals and couples. I offer a safe and confidential place where you and your concerns are provided the time and space to be voiced, heard and for you to feel understood. You may find it incredibly difficult to describe how you feel, yet have a sense that something is missing or feels just quite not right. You may be experiencing change, the emotional pain of losses and struggles of life.

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.

I am a Couple Psychosexual Psychotherapeutic Therapist (Tavistock trained) (PG Dip), MBACP registered, COSRT registered , BSc (Hons) Psychology, with a wide range of clinical experience from both the public and private sectors. I offer a range of services, face to face in the Brighton area and ONLINE covering: sexuality, intimacy and relationship issues, menopause related issues, anxiety, anger management, pain management.

At times we can struggle with our circumstances and relationships. This may result in feeling confused and overwhelmed. Traumas past and present impact upon our quality of life and coping mechanisms can fail or become unhelpful. Counselling allows some time and space to focus on your issues and it can provide insight and clarity. It's an opportunity for honest open communication, without the fear of judgement and negative repercussions. This self-exploration tends to aid growth and healing, ultimately resulting in change and acceptance. I support you rather than diagnose or label, being with you through life's challenges.

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 am interested in what you have to say and understand how difficult it may be for you to share your feelings with others, especially if they involve traumatic experiences. I work relationally, meaning that I am invested in supporting you to achieve your goals.

My person-centred modality carries the core belief that we are all born innately good. Things happen to us along our journey in life. Learnt behaviour and experiences shape our thoughts and feelings in our development. We can repeat our reactions to circumstances when they occur in adulthood. We can become unconscious of our behaviours because of the busy lives we lead. It's as if our experiences stick to us like "papier mache' " in the developmental years, forming a different self. This can be an uncomfortable and unwelcome reality that we want to change in adulthood or when it becomes painful, but we often do not know how to.

If there is dissatisfaction in your life, be it the pain of depression, disconnection, anxiety, anger or bereavement, therapy can help. I work integratively - taking into account the many views of human functioning (psychodynamic, person centred, CBT, object relations) 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.

I'm a fully qualified accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist. My clients come with a range of different issues including anxiety & depression, bereavement & loss, trauma, relationship issues, problems with addictions and many other reasons. I offer both short and long term therapy depending on what best supports your needs. Many people need a safe space where they can make sense of their thoughts and feelings without the fear of judgement.
