Psychotherapy in Brighton

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. The counselling room is a short ride west from central Brighton along the seafront or Western Road, roughly ten to fifteen minutes by bus, taxi or car, and walkable from Brighton Station. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Brighton or blend the two.

Longer than counselling, and it is honest to say so. People often think in terms of a year or more of weekly sessions, though some do less. We review every few months and you can stop whenever you choose. Nothing is signed and no block of sessions is bought upfront.

Each weekly hour is £80, with £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two hours if you want longer. There is no package and no discount for booking ahead. Some people move to fortnightly when money is tight. The initial 15-minute consultation costs nothing and carries no obligation.

It is the NHS Talking Therapies service for the city and you can self-refer, but its work is typically short and structured around current symptoms. That helps a great many people. If you have already done that sort of course and found the same difficulty returning, longer work is a reasonable next step.

Often, yes. Geography changes the setting but not the pattern, and a new city can postpone something rather than resolve it. We look at what keeps reassembling itself around you, and at the part of it you carry from place to place. That is slower work, and more durable.

Both are workable. Some people want the room every week because the journey and the door mark it out from everything else. Others do a year of good work entirely by secure video. Many mix the two. We decide together at the start and change it if it stops suiting you.

Counselling often focuses on a current difficulty, while psychotherapy works more deeply and over a longer time with the roots beneath it. If patterns keep returning despite Brighton's constant change, this slower work can help. Sessions run in Hove or online, entirely at your pace.

We start with a free fifteen-minute call to see if longer-term work suits you, then agree a regular weekly slot. From Brighton the seafront route west takes ten to fifteen minutes by bus or taxi, or a quick train from Brighton Station to Hove, then a short walk.

Each session is £80 for sixty minutes, with £100 and £120 options for longer work, after a free fifteen-minute consultation. The NHS rarely funds open-ended psychotherapy, tending towards shorter courses, so Brighton clients wanting sustained, deeper work usually choose private sessions with a consistent therapist.

Yes. Deeper work relies on continuity, so many Brighton clients keep a fixed weekly time, meeting in the Hove room or by secure video when hospitality hours or travel make coming in hard. Evening appointments help protect that rhythm, and mixing in-person and online keeps the work steady.
