Depression Counselling in Shoreham-by-Sea

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Shoreham the coast road or a short train ride brings you east through Southwick and Portslade to Hove in around fifteen to twenty minutes. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Shoreham-by-Sea or blend the two.

It can easily be both. Difficult circumstances are real and low mood distorts how you judge them, which makes acting on either much harder. Counselling separates the two, restores enough function to make decisions, and takes the personal verdict out of a business problem.

An hour is £80. Longer appointments are available at £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two hours, although weekly hours are the norm here. Nothing is charged for the introductory 15-minute conversation, and there is no minimum number of sessions.

Yes, directly, without seeing your GP first. It is free and covers low mood as well as anxiety. The courses are time-limited and waits vary through the year, which is why some people use it in parallel with private counselling rather than instead.

Sleep and routine often shift within a few weeks, and mood tends to follow rather than lead. Bigger changes usually take a couple of months of consistent sessions. Progress is reviewed openly so you are not left guessing whether anything is actually moving.

Directly. A predictable seasonal drop can be prepared for, and that is far easier than climbing out afterwards. Sessions look at daylight, movement, contact and structure through the darker months, using what has worked for you in previous years as the starting point.

Yes. Shoreham-by-Sea Station runs direct trains east to Hove in a few minutes, with a short walk to my room; by car the coast road takes fifteen to twenty. On the harder days, online video sessions are always there instead.

When motivation is low, I keep booking simple: a free fifteen-minute call, then a first session. Shoreham-by-Sea Station runs direct trains to Hove in a few minutes, or the coast road east takes fifteen to twenty minutes. If leaving home feels hard, we can begin online.

Sessions are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, after a free consultation. Free NHS Talking Therapies for West Sussex accepts self-referrals without a GP, though waits can drain momentum; private sessions mean help with low mood starts straight away.

Either works for depression. On flat days, video from home spares even the short train; other weeks, the quick trip east into Hove offers a helpful change of scene. We can alternate, and evening and weekend appointments suit unpredictable energy.
