Self Esteem Counselling in Brighton

I offer a child centred approach. I will form a trusting relationship with you and your child to enable you to achieve your therapeutic goals. I believe in a combined approach which is humanistic and analytical, therefore I am adaptable and use a range of approaches to help you meet your goals. I also integrate a directive approach, this is important for children who experience emotional overwhelm or have traumatic blocks.

As a registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor & Therapist (Dip Couns, MNCPS Accred), I work with adults on a short, medium, and long-term basis.

I have worked in private practice as a psychotherapist for over thirty years, and as a Jungian psychoanalyst for almost eleven years. In that time I have worked with a broad spectrum of people from many cultural backgrounds presenting a vast array of issues. Everyone is different. All that is required of you is to be willing to look into yourself, be open to your feelings, and invite your dreams, because they can help us. Ultimately I can't make the changes for you, you must want to change for yourself.

Hello, my name is Rebecca and i am an Art psychotherapist and EMDR trainee. I help people who may be feeling depressed, anxious, experiencing PTSD symptoms, experienced loss or need a space to explore past experiences and relationships. I believe the therapeutic relationship to be the most important part of therapy to help transform experiences of trauma and loss. Together we start where you feel safe and think about your goals for therapy. Sometimes words are too difficult and we need another tool to help talk. The use of art materials whilst speaking can create a non-intrusive and gentle way to explore past experiences.

You may or may not know in advance what the source of your difficulties may be. Part of our process is to explore together what has led you here. Every person is different. Amid the stresses of daily life, it’s easy to lose touch with our own deepest needs and feelings – until they become too painful or persistent to ignore.

I am an experienced, welcoming and open-minded counsellor. Exploring in-depth what is troubling us with someone who is really listening, not just to your words but to the person behind them, can in itself be a healing process. It may also bring to light beliefs and ways of living that are holding you back. I draw on a range of integrative talking therapies (including Internal Family Systems). When something more is needed than talking alone, Brainspotting (a somatic therapy that evolved out of EMDR) can offer a gentle but powerful way to access deeper areas of the brain where emotional difficulties arise.

My therapeutic approach is Integrative which means I work in the way that is most suitable to you by drawing on different counselling modalities and theories depending on your needs and preference. I believe that counselling and psychotherapy is creative and collaborative. You are always in charge of the therapy process, and I am here to support you. In a nutshell, I offer a confidential and space where you can bring whatever is troubling you. Together, we can explore what’s going on, at a pace that’s right for you.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 10 years experience working with adults with a range of mental health difficulties. I am passionate about supporting individuals to achieve meaningful, long-lasting change through the delivery of evidence-based psychological therapy.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I draw on a range of approaches, including CBT, trauma-focussed therapies, and family therapies, amongst others. Sessions often involve identifying the patterns that may be keeping problems stuck and helping a person beyond these, towards their values and goals. Sometimes, it might be helpful to focus on the 'here and now'. Other times, I may suggest spending some more time looking back on the past, if you would like, in order to move forward.

Whether it be anxiety or depression, problems with relationships, bereavement or trauma, my role is to be alongside you in order to support you to overcome the difficulties you are facing. My work is with people from all walks of life and backgrounds who come to therapy with a diverse range of issues.

I have spent the last 18 years studying human behaviour, relationships, and the workings of the mind – formerly in university teaching, research and support roles and now, as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor supporting people with psychological, emotional and relationship difficulties. My focus is on the whole person rather than solely addressing specific symptoms or issues, which means our therapeutic process will consider all parts of you, mind, body, spirit and soul, as well as the social and cultural aspects of your experience.

Hello, I'm an Art Psychotherapist. Whatever brings someone to therapy, whatever their gender, age, neurodivergence, physical ability, race or social background, I am here to hold a supportive space where they can ask their own verbal and sensory questions and have agency over their own answers. Experiences, challenges and changes when it comes to identity, a loss, physical illness, trauma, relationships or insecure attachments, can sometimes become overwhelming and hard to hold alone. A person may come to therapy with a sense of curiosity, about their journey through life, and how it is affecting their relationship with the present.

We all have the right to be our own expression of human. Maybe you struggle with feeling that there’s something ‘wrong’ or ‘different’ about you? Maybe life sometimes feel too difficult to manage? Or you may often feel that you need to hide, change, or control aspects of yourself in the outside world. Life often presents us with unexpected challenges and having someone there to support you can make these challenges feel more manageable. I passionately believe in empowering individuals to find their own answers to the challenges they face. I value diversity, integrity, connection, and the journey of self-discovery.
