Counselling and Therapy in Portslade

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. Portslade is a short hop east along New Church Road or the coast road, around ten minutes by car or bus, or two stops on the train to Hove. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Portslade or blend the two.

Mostly you talk and I listen properly, which is rarer than it sounds. There are some practical questions about your circumstances and what has brought you now. Nothing is dragged out of you. By the end you should have a sense of whether this feels workable.

This one. It is deliberately the starting point for people who cannot yet say what the problem is. If it becomes clear that a relationship is at the centre of it, or that something much older is driving it, we change tack from there rather than sending you back to the beginning.

Sessions are charged at £80 / 60 min, or £100 / 90 min and £120 / 120 min where more time helps. Nothing is paid up front for a block. The initial 15-minute consultation is free and carries no expectation that you book anything afterwards.

Ring them, certainly. It costs nothing and no GP referral is needed. It is strongest with defined anxiety or depression over a fixed number of sessions. Private work suits people who want to start quickly, or whose difficulty does not sit neatly in one category.

Yes, although a regular slot helps if you can manage one. Where the rota moves, appointments can be shifted rather than lost, and video makes it possible to attend from somewhere other than home when the day is awkward. Consistency matters more than rigidity.

It is at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove, just east of Portslade. The coast road and New Church Road get you there by car or bus in around ten minutes, and Portslade Station is a couple of stops from Hove. Online sessions are there too.

Book a free fifteen-minute call, then travel the short distance east. Portslade Station is a couple of stops from Hove on the same line, a few minutes' ride, or the New Church Road buses take around ten minutes. From Hove Station it is a short walk to Western Road.

Fees are £80 for an hour, £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two hours, with a free fifteen-minute consultation. Free NHS talking therapies are available via your GP or self-referral, but waits can be long, so many Portslade clients prefer starting privately and close to home.

Yes. With Hove so close, many Portslade clients pop in for face-to-face sessions, but online video is just as confidential for busy or difficult weeks. The work is equally effective either way. Evening appointments are available, and you can freely mix in-person and online across the month.
