Counselling in Brighton and Hove
BACP Humanistic Counsellor, DipHE
My name is John Creigan. I am a qualified humanistic counsellor and a member of the BACP. I work from my private practice, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
I provide one-to-one counselling for adults, either in person or online.
MY APPROACH
I believe that the relationship between client and counsellor is at the heart of meaningful change.
My approach is integrative and rooted in humanistic principles, offering a compassionate, non-judgmental and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.
I offer individual sessions tailored to your needs, providing a safe and supportive space for personal exploration and growth. As a humanistic counsellor, I believe the relationship between client and counsellor is key to fostering meaningful psychological change. Humanistic counselling is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, self-understanding, and making positive changes when given the right support and environment.
My integrative approach combines techniques from various therapeutic models, including person-centred, gestalt, and existential therapy, allowing me to adapt the process to suit your unique needs and goals.
I trained at the University of Chichester, earning a Diploma of Higher Education in Humanistic Counselling (DipHE). My education has equipped me with a solid foundation in humanistic principles and a deep understanding of the counselling process.
As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to its Ethical Framework and Professional Conduct Procedure. Over the past three years, I have supported clients with challenges such as depression, bereavement, anxiety, divorce, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns, as well as those struggling with feelings of being lost, burnout, or uncertainty about the future.
I work with a wide range of issues, offering a safe and supportive space to explore the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, or the emotional complexities of bereavement, loss, or relationship difficulties like divorce or separation, we can work together to understand and navigate these feelings. My aim is to help you process your emotions, rediscover your strengths, and find ways to move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
You don’t need a specific issue to begin counselling—sometimes it’s a general sense of feeling stuck, lost, or uncertain about the future that brings people to therapy. I also provide support for men navigating the unique pressures they face, creating a space where we can explore your experiences and challenges together.
