Depression Counselling for Southwick
Southwick, set around its green between Portslade and Shoreham, looks out over the harbour and canal. If Southwick Green, the canal and Southwick Hill 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. Southwick is around ten to fifteen minutes east of the office along the coast road, or two stops by train to Hove. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.
Just along the way, the same support is available in Portslade, Shoreham-by-Sea, Hove.
So whether you are searching for depression counselling near you in Southwick, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.

What to expect
Why people from Southwick 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 Southwick, not the other way round.
How I work
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of it. Rather than analysing every thought endlessly, we focus on what is actually impacting your daily life right now. Our sessions are structured but flexible, using straightforward exercises to help you regain direction and rebuild emotional resilience.
Some clients travel in from Southwick; others find online easier. Either way, what matters isn't the miles but whether we turn out to be the right fit for each other.
You can read more about depression 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 Southwick
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Southwick, 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.
