Depression Counselling in Worthing

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Worthing the office is around twenty-five to thirty minutes east by car along the A259, or a direct train to Hove. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Worthing or blend the two.

It can, though not overnight. Empty days and low mood keep each other going, so the work rebuilds structure and contact in steps that are realistic rather than ambitious. The weekly hour is itself one dependable appointment in a week that has few.

A single hour is charged at £80, with £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two hours. Weekly hours are the usual pattern, spacing out as things improve. The introductory 15-minute conversation is free and there is no expectation that you commit to a course of sessions.

It is often sensible. NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies is free, accepts self-referrals for depression and runs structured courses. Because the number of sessions is limited and waits vary, plenty of people keep a referral moving while beginning private work.

It is workable, and the fact that it is predictable helps. Sessions look at light, movement, routine and contact before the darkest weeks rather than afterwards, and at what got you through last year, so the dip is shallower and does not last as long.

Quite possibly. Their head office is in the town, at The Gateway on Durrington Lane, and they hold information about local groups and community support. That sits alongside counselling rather than replacing it, and some people find the two work well together.

Direct trains from Worthing and West Worthing reach Hove in around twenty minutes, with a short walk to my room, and the A259 by car takes twenty-five to thirty. On the harder days, online video sessions are always there instead.

When motivation is low, I keep it simple: a free fifteen-minute call, then a first session. Direct trains from Worthing or West Worthing reach Hove in about twenty minutes, or the A259 takes twenty-five to thirty. 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 West Sussex takes self-referrals without a GP, though waits can stall progress; starting privately means help with low mood begins now.

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