Life in Hangleton
Counselling and Therapy for people in Hangleton
Hangleton spreads across the hillside in the north of Hove, a settled, mostly residential neighbourhood where the streets give way to open Downs at their edges. St Helen's Church and the old Hangleton Manor are reminders of the village that came before the estates, and Benfield Valley offers a green corridor down towards the coast. It is a quiet, family-oriented place, a little removed from the seafront bustle, and people here often value keeping personal matters personal. Coming down into central Hove for a confidential hour of counselling is straightforward, and the room stays comfortably separate from daily life. For anyone who would rather not make the trip, online sessions bring the same support home.

The counselling and therapy itself
Counselling and therapy here is one steady starting point for whatever you are carrying, anxiety, low mood, addiction, relationships or the past, integrative and led by you, so we begin with what matters most and shape the work around you.
The approach is the same wherever you come from, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full, the methods, what each session covers and fees, on the main counselling and therapy page and on how I work.
Sessions in person or online
Sessions take place in a private, comfortable room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove, held to the strict BACP confidentiality you would expect. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, and the same sessions are available by secure video if travelling is difficult or you would simply prefer it.
From Hangleton it is a short run down into central Hove. Buses from Hangleton Road and West Way head towards the seafront and Western Road, and driving takes around ten to fifteen minutes down through the town. There is on-street parking near the room. If travelling in feels like too much on a difficult day, we can meet online by secure video instead.

Hangleton questions
Counselling and Therapy in Hangleton: common questions
Where do Hangleton sessions take place, and can I meet online instead?
In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Hangleton it is a straightforward ten to fifteen minute drive or bus down into central Hove and Western Road. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Hangleton or blend the two.
I'm not sure exactly what's wrong, can I still come?
Absolutely. You do not need a label or a clear problem to begin. We start with whatever is weighing on you most and find the thread together; if something more specific would help, I will say so.
What's the difference between counselling and psychotherapy?
Counselling tends to focus on what is happening now and can be shorter; psychotherapy goes deeper into long-standing patterns and usually runs longer. We can start with counselling and go deeper if it helps.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. Some people come for a handful of sessions, others for longer; we review together regularly rather than committing you to an open-ended course.
Is it a short trip from Hangleton to your counselling room?
Yes. It is only a ten to fifteen minute run down into central Hove, with buses from Hangleton Road and West Way and on-street parking near the room on Western Road. On a difficult day, when travelling in feels like too much, online video sessions are always there.
How do I reach your Hove counselling room from Hangleton?
Book a free fifteen-minute call, then head down into central Hove. Buses from Hangleton Road and West Way drop you near Western Road, and driving takes roughly ten to fifteen minutes, with on-street parking nearby. When a trip down the hill is awkward, the same counselling runs online.
How much is counselling, and can I get free NHS talking therapy in Hangleton?
Fees are £80 for an hour, £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two hours, with a free fifteen-minute consultation. The NHS offers free talking therapies via your GP or self-referral, though waits can be long, so many Hangleton clients prefer to begin privately without a delay.
Is online counselling as good as coming in, and do you work evenings for Hangleton?
Yes. Online sessions by secure video are just as confidential and effective, and many Hangleton clients value them when weather or a busy day makes coming down inconvenient. Others prefer the calm of the Hove room. Evening appointments are available, and you can blend both as suits your week.
