Anxiety Counselling for Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill is a busy Mid Sussex town with good rail links and the green spaces of its Green Circle walk. If St John's Park, the Green Circle and Bedelands Nature Reserve are part of your daily life, my counselling room in nearby Hove is an easy, discreet place to begin.
My counselling room is at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. From Burgess Hill a direct train reaches Hove and Brighton in around twenty minutes, or it is a half-hour drive south. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.

Start the conversationFinding support in Burgess Hill
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Burgess Hill, you can refer yourself directly to NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Seeing me privately usually means you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have. If you are waiting for NHS therapy, beginning privately can be a way to make a start now rather than putting things off, and we can always work in whatever way fits best alongside what is already in place.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
