Relationship Counselling for Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham-by-Sea, on the river Adur, is known for its houseboats, beach, airport and lively high street. Whether you live near Shoreham Beach, the houseboats, the Adur ferry footbridge and Shoreham Airport, or travel in from the wider area, I offer a calm, confidential space to do this work.
I work from a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. From Shoreham the coast road or a short train ride brings you east through Southwick and Portslade to Hove in around fifteen to twenty minutes. Prefer not to travel? The same sessions are available online by secure video.
I see clients for relationship counselling in neighbouring areas too, including Southwick, Lancing, Portslade.
So whether you are searching for relationship counselling near you in Shoreham-by-Sea, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.

How I work
Beyond the practicalities, this is the heart of it. 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.

Start the conversationFinding support in Shoreham-by-Sea
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Shoreham-by-Sea, 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.
