Counselling in Hastings

I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the main vessel of real change. Therapy is a journey to be embarked safely, and it can help you to deal with your pain. Together, we can try to explore that pain or uncertainty that hinders the possibility you have to live a full and meaningful life. We will work together towards your objectives; it doesn't matter how far they seem now or how painful is to think about them.

Thank you for choosing to view my profile. Life is never a straight line and sometimes there can be obstacles that cause us to need to reach out for help to overcome them. I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist that takes a person-centred approach to working with clients. This means I will work with you, at a speed and depth that's comfortable, without judgement or interpretation. I believe that we as individuals are the experts of our own lives, and we all have the ability to develop and change when given the right nurturing conditions.

I’m a qualified therapist experienced in supporting individuals who identify as LGBT+ in addressing issues connected with self-esteem, self-worth and acceptance. I can help you address issues that are causing you emotional pain, giving you cause for concern, or making you feel uncomfortable. Whether you may be confronting difficult situations, facing challenging decisions, or healing from old wounds. My style is to encourage clients to speak in openness and confidence about difficult topics and emotions.

I have the best job in the world: it’s to help you find the peace you’re looking for. That’s what I’ve been doing, first as a shamanic counsellor then as a psychotherapist, for others just like you, for 46 years. Whether you have a phobia, or are in a dire, life-threatening situation, or anything in between, you’re just a call away from finding yourself warmly welcomed to a totally non-judgemental, safe, comfortable space where you can relax and unload whatever you want in total confidence: then we can get straight to work fixing it.

As an integrative practitioner, I am engaging, insightful, curious, respectful, and able to design an individualised treatment that suits your needs. I practice CBT, EMDR, DBT, psychodynamic and integrative therapy. My 12-year clinical experience includes both the private mental health and the NHS, working both in individual and couples therapy. Previously, I had an executive corporate career at Microsoft UK and an MBA from INSEAD. I specialise in working with a spectrum of psychological issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, OCD, PTSD, low mood, low self-esteem, addiction, burnout, divorce and relationship issues.

How are you at the moment? Is everything becoming too much ? Do you struggle with everyday life and having difficulty in making sense of what is going on? Stress, anxiety, feeling low, depression, experiencing relationship issues, work burnout or going through life transitions including health concerns can be overwhelming. Through exploring your life challenges together in counselling you can learn a meaningful and different perspective and develop self-awareness. This will enable you to empower yourself and make personal and positive changes in your life.

It is important that you always feel in control of your process and that it is meaningful and beneficial to you. This includes consideration and respect for your culture, religion, sexual and self-identity. An essential element of this will be the relationship you are able to build with your therapist. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and aims to empower you with the self-awareness, knowledge and skills to make the decisions and changes that are important and useful to you. I will offer a non-judgmental and supportive space for you to explore your past, present and plan your future.

You may find it difficult, sometimes impossible, to control feelings of panic, anger, unworthiness or despair. If everyday life sometimes overwhelms you, for whatever reason, whether it's a result of trauma, difficult life changes, or unhelpful ideas about who you are, change is possible and can be quicker than you would think! If you are looking to gain perspective, learn ways of coping, feel more in control and hopeful about your ability to cope, I can help.

I am a psychotherapist and group analyst and have been a therapist for nearly 30 years in many different settings. In my approach, I am interested in making connections between experiences and difficulties in the present, with events and relationships from the past. In my experience, difficulties people experience as adults can often be part of a repeated pattern. I will be curious about relationships in your life but also the way you relate to yourself and to others. This will include how it is in the therapy relationship - whether individually or group.

Hi, I'm Mary (she/her), I'm passionate about supporting people with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and relationship issues. Is your mind constantly racing, worrying whether you said or did the right thing? Wondering if people like you? Did you make the right decision? Do you find yourself beating yourself up when you feel like you've got something wrong and find it hard to let go of things. Maybe you find it hard to stand up for yourself. Life can be so overwhelming sometimes we can feel like we don't want to be here. It's exhausting isn't it! I'm guessing you're here because you're fed up and want something to change. I can help you.

My name is Saboor, effective therapy requires a good professional relationship between therapist and client. It can also be a difficult process to start therapy. I, therefore, offer a FREE initial telephone consultation to help us both diagnose if I am the right therapist for you. I am flexible in my treatment, I try to create a space of openness and safety to allow my clients to explore. I work within the humanistic models as well as using techniques from CBT, DBT, PTSD, ADHD, and PHOBIA.

Having been a client myself in the past, I have a strong appreciation of how difficult and painful life can be at times and the benefits of being able to explore what is going on for you in a totally non-judgmental, deeply empathic and confidential space, which is for you and you alone. I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist which means I am qualified and experienced in working with a range of strategies, techniques and modalities, depending on your specific needs with 16 years expc. The therapeutic relationship we will share is central to the work we will do together in order to help you explore and resolve your issues.

I have worked alongside people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, experiencing a broad range of mental health difficulties. These include depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, workplace stress, attachment and relationship difficulties. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing on multiple psychological theories (e.g. CBT, ACT, CFT, CAT, psycho-dynamic approaches) to build an individualised and holistic approach, empowering each individual to embark on recovery and achieve their therapeutic goals.
