Anxiety Counselling in Lewes

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Lewes the office is around twenty minutes by car on the A27, or a short direct train to Brighton and on to Hove. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Lewes or blend the two.

A free 15-minute call is usually possible within a few days, and regular sessions tend to begin within a week or two. Nothing requires a referral. If you would rather start online and travel to Hove later, that is a perfectly normal way to do it.

The hourly rate is £80, with £100 for a ninety-minute appointment and £120 for two hours. Anxiety work usually runs as weekly hours, at least to begin with. The first 15-minute conversation costs nothing and you are under no obligation to book anything after it.

Health in Mind is the East Sussex NHS Talking Therapies service and takes self-referrals directly, without a GP appointment. It is free and it is busy: 24.1% of adults in East Sussex reported a high anxiety score in 2022/23, against 23.8% nationally. Many people also start privately.

Yes, and people do exactly that when the A27 in the dark is unappealing. The work is the same either way. We would agree in advance which format each week will use, so nobody is sitting waiting in the wrong place.

It can, because avoidance becomes very visible in a town this size and each sidestep teaches the brain that the situation was dangerous. We work on what happens in your body before those encounters, then on rejoining them gradually rather than bracing for each one.

Fast, frequent trains run from Lewes to Brighton in around fifteen minutes, then a couple of stops to Hove and a short walk to my room; by car the A27 takes about twenty. Online video sessions are there for weeks when travelling over the Downs is inconvenient.

Book a free fifteen-minute call, then a session. Lewes has fast, frequent trains to Brighton in around fifteen minutes, where you continue a couple of stops to Hove, or the A27 takes about twenty minutes. If anxiety makes travelling hard, 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 self-refer to free NHS Talking Therapies for East Sussex without a GP, but waits are common, so private work on your anxiety can start sooner.

Both suit anxiety. In a town where faces are quickly known, some value the discreet room over the Downs, while others, especially with social anxiety, prefer video from home. You can mix the two, and evening and weekend slots fit around a busy week.
