Relationship Counselling for Haywards Heath

Haywards Heath is a well-connected Mid Sussex town surrounded by countryside and commuter villages. Wherever in Haywards Heath you're coming from, whether Victoria Park, Muster Green and the Ardingly reservoir nearby are on your doorstep or a little further out, you're welcome here.

My counselling room is at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. From Haywards Heath frequent direct trains reach Hove and Brighton in around twenty-five minutes, with the A23 close by for driving. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.

I see clients for relationship counselling in neighbouring areas too, including Burgess Hill, Hassocks.

So whether you are searching for relationship counselling near you in Haywards Heath, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.

How I work

What actually happens in our sessions is collaborative and unhurried. 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 Haywards Heath, 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.

Finding support in Haywards Heath

My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Haywards Heath, 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.
