Counselling in Hove & Portslade
A calm space to talk things through
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, counselling can provide a space to slow things down and make sense of what is happening.
I offer counselling in Hove from a private practice on Portland Road, conveniently located for people living in Hove, Portslade and the surrounding areas. The space is comfortable, confidential and designed to provide a calm environment where you can speak openly about what is going on.
People come to counselling for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a clear issue they would like support with. Other times there is simply a sense that things have become more difficult to manage than they used to be. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. Counselling offers a place to reflect, gain perspective and begin exploring what feels most important to you.
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship issues, bereavement and periods of feeling stuck or lost. My approach is humanistic and collaborative, creating a supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood and accepted without judgement.
Conveniently located in Hove & Portslade
My counselling practice is based on Portland Road, making it easily accessible from across Hove, Portslade and the surrounding areas.
Many clients travel from West Hove, Portslade, Southwick, Shoreham and central Brighton. The location is well served by local bus routes and is convenient whether you are travelling by car, public transport or on foot.
For many people, having a dedicated space away from home provides an opportunity to step out of everyday demands and focus fully on themselves and what they would like to explore.
Counselling in Hove, Portslade and Online
Alongside in-person counselling in Hove, I also offer online sessions across the UK.
Some people prefer the privacy and familiarity of meeting from home, while others value having a separate space dedicated to reflection and conversation. Both options provide the same opportunity to explore what is going on in a supportive and confidential environment.
Whether you choose online or in-person counselling, the aim remains the same: to provide a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and begin making sense of what is happening in your life.
Finding the right counsellor
Finding the right counsellor is often less about choosing the perfect approach and more about finding someone you feel comfortable talking to.
The relationship between counsellor and client plays an important role in the process. Feeling able to speak openly, without pressure or judgement, can help create the conditions for meaningful change and understanding.
