Depression Counselling in Saltdean

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Saltdean the coast road brings you west through Rottingdean and Brighton to the Hove office in around twenty to twenty-five minutes. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Saltdean or blend the two.

No. Anything that would have happened in the Hove room happens just as well on secure video, and switching for a week needs no more than a message. Consistency matters far more in this work than the format any individual session takes.

The hour is charged at £80, with £100 for a ninety-minute appointment and £120 for two hours. Weekly hours are the usual pattern for low mood. Your first 15-minute consultation costs nothing, and you are free to stop at any point without penalty.

The Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service is the NHS Talking Therapies route and covers Saltdean. Self-referral is possible without going through a GP, and there is no charge. Because waiting times move and courses are capped, some people combine it with private work.

Extremely. Guilt of that sort is a symptom rather than a verdict, and it keeps people from asking for help for years. Depression is not a response to your postcode or your circumstances, and pleasant surroundings offer no protection against it whatsoever.

Not in those terms. Movement does help, so it gets built in at a scale you can actually manage, but nobody will be handing you slogans. The work is about restoring function and examining the thinking behind the mood, which is slower and considerably more useful.

Yes. Many Saltdean clients choose online video sessions, which spare the twenty-five minute coast-road trip and bring the same steady support home. When you would rather come in, my Hove room is there. We can also blend the two however suits you.

When motivation is low, I keep it simple: a free fifteen-minute call, then a first session. The coast road west through Rottingdean and Brighton to Hove takes twenty to twenty-five minutes by car, or the 12 bus with a change. If leaving home feels hard, we can begin online.

Sessions are £80 for an hour, £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two, after a free consultation. Free NHS Talking Therapies for Brighton & Hove takes self-referrals without a GP, though waits can stall progress; starting privately means help with low mood begins now.

Either works for depression. Being out along the coast, online from home spares the journey on flat days, while the seafront drive into Hove can be a lift on others. We can alternate, and evening and weekend appointments suit unpredictable energy.
