Anxiety Counselling in Brighton

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. The counselling room is a short ride west from central Brighton along the seafront or Western Road, roughly ten to fifteen minutes by bus, taxi or car, and walkable from Brighton Station. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Brighton or blend the two.

A free 15-minute consultation can usually happen within a few days of you getting in touch, and weekly sessions normally begin a week or two after that. No referral is needed and there is no waiting list. If you would rather start online while you work out whether the trip to Hove is manageable, that is entirely fine.

An hour is £80. Longer appointments are available at £100 for 90 minutes and £120 for two hours, though most anxiety work sits comfortably inside the hour. The first 15-minute consultation costs nothing, so you are not spending anything before you have heard how this is likely to go.

Yes. The Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service takes self-referrals for NHS Talking Therapies and costs nothing. Demand across the city is real: recorded depression on GP registers alone reached 14.1% of patients aged 18 and over in 2024/25. Many people join that list and start privately while they wait.

No. You can work entirely online by secure video from home, and many people in the city do exactly that. If travel is one of the things you want back, we can make the journey itself one of the graded steps, and meet in Hove once that feels within reach.

Not on its own, though constant noise, late nights and expensive housing give worry plenty of material to work with. What matters more is whether you have anywhere to set it down. The session is the hour in your week when you are not managing anybody else's impression of you.

Yes. Whether it is hospitality shifts, freelance uncertainty or the constant buzz of a city that never quite slows, we work with the worry and tension that builds. Sessions run in my discreet Hove room, a short trip from the centre, or online by secure video.

Start with a free fifteen-minute call to see if we fit, then we book a first session. From central Brighton the 1, 6 and 7 buses run along Western Road to near Intergen House, or the train to Hove takes a few minutes. Anxious about travelling? We can meet online instead.

Private sessions are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, after a free consultation. You can also self-refer to free NHS Talking Therapies for Brighton & Hove without a GP; waiting lists are common, so seeing me privately lets you start on your anxiety sooner.

Both work well for anxiety. Some Brighton clients find the calm Hove room grounding; others prefer the safety of video from their own flat, especially with social anxiety. You can mix the two, and evening and weekend slots mean sessions fit around hospitality or creative work.
