Depression Counselling for Hove
Hove, with its elegant Regency squares, Church Road shops and wide seafront lawns, is home to my practice. Wherever in Hove you're coming from, whether Palmeira Square, Hove Lawns, Church Road and Brunswick are on your doorstep or a little further out, you're welcome here.
My counselling room is at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove. The office sits on Western Road in central Hove, a few minutes' walk from Palmeira Square and the seafront, and a short bus ride from Hove Station. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.
I see clients for depression counselling in neighbouring areas too, including Brighton, Portslade, Hangleton.
So whether you are searching for depression counselling near you in Hove, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.

What to expect
Why people from Hove choose to work with me
Easy to reach
The room is in central Hove, close to Hove with good bus and rail links and parking nearby.
A free first call
We start with a free fifteen-minute consultation, no obligation, so you can see if I'm the right fit before anything begins.
Integrative and flexible
I draw on whatever genuinely helps you, from Human Givens and IFS to solution-focused and relational work.
Confidential by training
As a BACP-registered counsellor, everything you share is held to a strict professional and ethical framework.
How I work
What actually happens in our sessions is collaborative and unhurried. Rather than analysing every thought endlessly, we focus on what is actually impacting your daily life right now. Our sessions are structured but flexible, using straightforward exercises to help you regain direction and rebuild emotional resilience.
Many of the people I work with come from Hove and nearby. You don't need to travel far; what matters most is not the distance but finding someone who genuinely fits.
You can read more about depression counselling and about my methods, sessions and fees. There is no obligation: we begin with a free fifteen minute call to see whether we are the right fit.
Start the conversationFinding support in Hove
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Hove, you can refer yourself directly to the Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Seeing me privately usually means you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have. If you are waiting for NHS therapy, beginning privately can be a way to make a start now rather than putting things off, and we can always work in whatever way fits best alongside what is already in place.
If you need urgent help now
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
