In and around Saltdean
Saltdean is known for the Grade II*-listed Saltdean Lido, a restored 1930s Art Deco outdoor swimming pool on the clifftop coast.
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 come from, 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.
Sessions take place in a private, comfortable room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove, held to the strict BACP confidentiality you would expect. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, and the same sessions are available by secure video if travelling is difficult or you would simply prefer it.

Breaking the cycle of the same argument.
Rebuilding safety after betrayal or addiction.

You do not need to come as a couple to change the dynamic.
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally. In Saltdean, you can refer yourself directly to the Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service for free NHS talking therapy, with no GP referral needed.
Seeing me privately usually means you can start sooner and stay with the same counsellor throughout, working at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I am glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have.

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.
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
