Transpersonal Counselling in Brighton

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor offering short-term and open-ended integrative therapy. I work both in person in Brighton (UK), and online across the UK. My practice primarily focuses on working with people who are going through life crises or transitions; experience difficulties in their family and other relationships; have lived through adverse childhood experiences or trauma; have faced prejudice and marginalisation because of their identity (gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity etc). I also work with people who are looking to integrate psychedelic experiences.

My therapeutic approach is best described as ‘Integrative’ which means that I bring together different schools of thought such as Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Humanistic, Existential and the Transpersonal. This enables me to draw upon a wide range of therapeutic styles which I tailor to your specific individual needs. I take a holistic approach which means I provide support that looks at the whole person, not just your mental health needs; I also consider your physical, emotional, social/sexual and spiritual wellbeing as an individual. Therapy can be an intimidating experience, especially if you are not sure where to start.

Hey there... I am a Transpersonal psychotherapist, breathwork facilitator, coach and supervisor. I work with people at depth to help integrate body, mind, soul. please check out my website www.deborahmaloney.com

There are many reasons you may be seeking counselling but I imagine you are wanting something to change. My aim is to facilitate a relationship that is tailored to you and created with you. This provides the conditions for you to freely and safely explore the challenges you may face as well as the trauma or difficulties you have experienced. Counselling is not only about what we think of ourselves and our life but more importantly, our felt sense of ourselves and our visceral experience of life. Giving space and awareness to our experience is what informs us of what is needed for healing, growth and change.

Working with individuals and couples, online, I am an LGBTQ+ affirmative, trauma-informed, and fully BACP Accredited psychodynamic therapist. Therapy involves a joint inquiry into the underlying beliefs and habitual ways of being and seeing that we carry. Regular sessions provide a reflective, confidential space for self-exploration and support, in which to look together at any areas of concern to you. As we begin to make sense of troubling, confusing or conflicting feelings and experiences, it can become possible to discover greater ease, choice and fulfillment in the present.

I am an LGBTQ affirmative counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer online support to lesbian, gay, bi, non-binary trans and queer people throughout the UK. If you identify as LGBTQ, it can make a huge difference to find an LGBTQ counsellor who accepts you as you are, with warmth and understanding. I have 20 years experience in LGBTQ counselling, advocacy and support services, and work with a broad spectrum of LGBTQ identities and ways of being. I provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about problems that are affecting you and explore your fears, hopes and dreams.

I am an experientially informed, person centred, psychotherapeutic counsellor with a faith in the human potential to develop in a positive direction. I believe we have our own path to cut through the woods in our unique life journey. The body keeps the score, and we are wiser than we think. I take a non-discriminatory, LGBTQI+ affirmative, experiential, Person Centred approach. I believe neurodiversity is a difference and not a disorder. I take a non-judgemental, relational, holistic approach, alive to all aspects of self and factors outside. For me, it's not about what's wrong with a person, it's about what has happened to them.

Are you dealing with a single life event or issues / trauma from earlier in your life? Are these affecting your emotional health? If so, I provide a safe, friendly space in which to explore particular problems or psychological patterns that you may have. The counselling I offer allows us to make sense of what has happened to you, thus giving rise to greater self-awareness and positive change plus the ability to resolve present or past issues. Counselling is an exciting and challenging healing journey which we can take together with sensitivity and respect. My experience is largely within, but not exclusive to, the LGBT+ community.

Every person has their own unique story. What happens in our lives as our story unfolds shapes who we are, how we see and experience the world, how we feel about it and where we fit within it. Counselling can help you discover more about who you are, learn about your relationships, understand past events and how you developed, help you have deeper understanding of yourself and learn new ways to live your life. Counselling can help you change from feeling that your story is being written for you and learn how to start writing it for yourself. I currently have availability to take new clients.

I'm an experienced integrative therapist and work flexibly and dynamically with adults, couples, families and trainee counsellors. Early relationships and life events may have shaken your ability to fully value yourself or others. You might be bereaved, struggling with a relationship, experiencing depression or anxiety. I'm objective and compassionate, offering support to connect with frightening or buried feelings. Letting go of strategies that no longer work for you, without pressure or expectation, can help you to find your own truth and a sense of who you really are.

Are you looking for someone to talk to about the challenges you're facing? Do you need support in navigating life's complexities? Would you like to explore your life's journey and how it has shaped you? If you're feeling lost, stuck, or going through a tough time, know that it's perfectly okay to seek help. With the right support, no situation is too hopeless, and no unhappiness is too great to be lessened. In therapy with me, you'll find a safe, accepting space where you can truly be yourself to express your feelings and speak to the 'un-sayable' or the 'un-thinkable'.

My therapeutic approach is Integrative which means I work in the way that is most suitable to you by drawing on different counselling modalities and theories depending on your needs and preference. I believe that counselling and psychotherapy is creative and collaborative. You are always in charge of the therapy process, and I am here to support you. In a nutshell, I offer a confidential and space where you can bring whatever is troubling you. Together, we can explore what’s going on, at a pace that’s right for you.

If there are aspects of your life that you find challenging and you long to break free from some of the restrictive cycles and patterns then I would love to stand alongside you and give you my full presence and support, and together we can create a safe space in which you can find the courage to risk opening to all that is within you. I offer sessions online internationally or face to face in Brighton, UK. Some of the issues I can help you explore are: Self-esteem/confidence, Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Bereavement, Relationships, Direction, Meaning & purpose.

I am an experienced, welcoming and open-minded counsellor. Exploring in-depth what is troubling us with someone who is really listening, not just to your words but to the person behind them, can in itself be a healing process. It may also bring to light beliefs and ways of living that are holding you back. I draw on a range of integrative talking therapies (including Internal Family Systems). When something more is needed than talking alone, Brainspotting (a somatic therapy that evolved out of EMDR) can offer a gentle but powerful way to access deeper areas of the brain where emotional difficulties arise.

For the last 25 years, I have been involved in the rich and creative dialogue between depth psychological and meditative approaches to personal growth, emotional healing, and spiritual transformation. I’ve been a therapist for 23 years now . My special areas of interest are mid life crisis and beyond DEPRESSION, drug and alcohol dependence and Relationships . I worked as a bereavement counsellor for St Catherine’s hospice for four years and hence have valuable experience in this area . Narcissistic Pd. Anxiety disorders . Alcohol snd Drug addiction.

Life can feel hard - even overwhelming at times - but it doesn't have to stay that way. Often, people find talking to someone who understands can help to shift difficult feelings and allow them to fully engage with life once more. Perhaps you feel stuck? Anxious, angry, depressed, or in emotional pain? Maybe you notice your relationships are unsatisfactory, they always follow the same pattern? Or maybe life, with all its demands, is just grinding you down? Spending some time exploring these issues with a trained counsellor can offer insight, clarity and relief.

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor with a warm, motivational and supportive and yet direct approach to helping people transform their lives. Offering new perspectives, I have helped many people feel more empowered and less controlled by limiting patterns and beliefs.

What a world we live in, hey? So much pain. So much drama, and heartache. Yet, also so much beauty, love, and understanding. There's nothing to do except be here now and show up fully, living as best as we can. This is where therapy begins. It may be hard work to change your habits, or to stop your thoughts spiralling. However you may find stillness, presence and recovery. No matter what adversity you've been through, I believe that you can grow from it and gain resilience.

Times are hard and you too may be having a hard time. I appreciate that asking for help may also seem difficult, but please remember - we all need a helping hand sometimes. I can offer assistance for a range of issues by providing a safe space and an open and honest relationship to support you to look a little deeper into what is going on for you and process your thoughts and feelings. In this way you can work towards growth, healing and change. Please be aware that you need to be willing to do the work, I can't do it for you!
