Counselling for Drinking Problems for Rottingdean
Rottingdean is a picturesque village with its windmill, pond and High Street, set just back from the white cliffs. From streets near Rottingdean windmill, the village pond and Kipling Gardens to the edges of town, people come to work through what's been weighing on them, in person or online.
I work from a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. From Rottingdean it is a scenic fifteen to twenty minute drive along the coast road into Brighton and on to Hove. Prefer not to travel? The same sessions are available online by secure video.

What to expect
Why people from Rottingdean choose to work with me
Led by you
We go at your pace. You decide how much to share and when, and the sessions stop when you've arrived where you want to be.
Easy to reach
The room is in central Hove, close to Rottingdean with good bus and rail links and parking nearby.
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.
How I work
Here's how the work itself tends to unfold. In our sessions we take an integrative approach, viewing your difficulties from an existential and humanistic perspective. Because you are the one who knows yourself best, my role is to walk alongside you as you build genuine alternatives to drinking.

Start the conversationFinding support in Rottingdean
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Rottingdean, you can refer yourself directly to the Brighton and Hove Wellbeing 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.
