Relationship Counselling for Brighton
Brighton is the buzzing heart of the city, from the Lanes and North Laine to the seafront, the Palace Pier and the Royal Pavilion. Wherever in Brighton you're coming from, whether the Lanes, North Laine, the Royal Pavilion and Preston Park are on your doorstep or a little further out, you're welcome here.
I work from a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. The counselling room is a short ride west from central Brighton along the seafront or Western Road, roughly ten to fifteen minutes by bus, taxi or car, and walkable from Brighton Station. Prefer not to travel? The same sessions are available online by secure video.
Just along the way, the same support is available in Hove, Kemp Town, Preston Park.
So whether you are searching for relationship counselling near you in Brighton, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.

What to expect
Why people from Brighton choose to work with me
A private, discreet room
My Hove room is comfortable and confidential, an easy place to come to from Brighton without bumping into anyone you know.
In person or online
Meet me face to face near Brighton, or by secure video, and mix the two however suits your week.
Lived experience
I've known anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma myself, so I understand them from the inside, not just the textbook.
No judgement, ever
Whatever brings you in from Brighton, you'll be met with warmth and respect, never lectures or shame.
How I work
Here's how the work itself tends to unfold. My approach is integrative and person-centred. We are not looking for someone to blame, but at the system the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, drawing on relational therapy, Internal Family Systems and Human Givens approaches.
There's no waiting room and no rush. From Brighton, the first contact can be as small as a phone call, and from there we go at whatever pace feels safe.
You can read more about relationship 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 Brighton
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Brighton, 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.
