Life in Chichester

Why people in Chichester reach out

Chichester is an elegant cathedral city near the harbour and the Downs, and its calm, affluent feel can make difficulties harder to voice. In a place where appearances matter and where many residents are retired or self-employed, low mood, anxiety and isolation can go unspoken for a long time before anyone reaches out.

On the coast the nearest specialist can be a long way inland; a secure video link closes that distance completely.

Chichester is a cathedral city home to the University of Chichester, Chichester Festival Theatre and St Richard's Hospital.

The relationship counselling itself

Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.

The approach is the same wherever you live, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full — the methods, what each session covers and fees — on the main relationship counselling page and on how I work.

How online sessions work

Sessions run over a secure, encrypted video link held to the same strict BACP confidentiality as meeting in person. After a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, you join each session from any private space using a phone, tablet or laptop — no software to install, no waiting room and no journey at either end.

Finding support in Chichester

My online counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Chichester, you can refer yourself directly to NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed.

Private sessions with me usually mean you can start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout; I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

If you need urgent help now

This is not a crisis service. If anyone 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.

Chichester questions

Online Relationship Counselling in Chichester: common questions

Can I get online relationship counselling if I live in Chichester?

Yes. I work with people right across Chichester, from the cathedral quarter and the city centre outwards, and anywhere else in London & South East, by secure video — no need to travel to Hove, and just as confidential as meeting in the room.

Can I come on my own, without my partner?

Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.

Can we join the session from different locations?

Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.

Will you take sides?

No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
