Anxiety Counselling for Seaford
Seaford, beneath the dramatic Seaford Head and close to the Cuckmere, is a quiet coastal town further east. Whether you live near Seaford Head, the Martello Tower and the seafront, or travel in from the wider area, I offer a calm, confidential space to do this work.
My counselling room is at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. From Seaford it is around thirty minutes west by car, or a train via Lewes or Newhaven, to reach the Hove office. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.
I see clients for anxiety counselling in neighbouring areas too, including Newhaven, Peacehaven, Lewes.
So whether you are searching for anxiety counselling near you in Seaford, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.

What to expect
Why people from Seaford choose to work with me
A free first call
We start with a free fifteen-minute consultation, no obligation, so you can see if I'm the right fit before anything begins.
Integrative and flexible
I draw on whatever genuinely helps you, from Human Givens and IFS to solution-focused and relational work.
Confidential by training
As a BACP-registered counsellor, everything you share is held to a strict professional and ethical framework.
Flexible slots
Evening and weekend appointments mean sessions can usually fit around work and life in Seaford, not the other way round.
How I work
What actually happens in our sessions is collaborative and unhurried. I take a solution-focused, practical approach that works on the problems actually affecting your day-to-day life. We cover simple, deliberate exercises that help calm your nervous system and respond differently when anxiety shows up.
Many of the people I work with come from Seaford and nearby. You don't need to travel far; what matters most is not the distance but finding someone who genuinely fits.
You can read more about anxiety counselling and about my methods, sessions and fees. There is no obligation: we begin with a free fifteen minute call to see whether we are the right fit.
Start the conversationFinding support in Seaford
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Seaford, you can refer yourself directly to Health in Mind, the East Sussex NHS Talking Therapies service, 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.
