Psychotherapy in Hove

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central 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. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Hove or blend the two.

Depth, length and where the attention goes. Counselling works on the present and often finishes inside a few months. Psychotherapy follows the pattern back to where it was formed, including childhood and early relationships, and takes a year or more. Both are talking; they are not the same undertaking.

You can pause, and people do, for holidays, money or a difficult stretch at work. The rate stays constant: £80 an hour, £100 for ninety minutes, £120 for two hours, paid session by session with nothing bought upfront. The free 15-minute consultation is the sensible place to ask about this.

The Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service is the free NHS Talking Therapies option and its work is short and structured, which suits many people. Longer depth work is not typically what it offers. If cost is the deciding issue, referring yourself there first makes sense.

Not at all. Short work often does exactly what it should for the episode in front of it. Fading afterwards usually means the older pattern underneath was never the target. That is not a failure of the earlier work; it is a reason to consider going further now.

It occasionally happens in a place this size. I would not approach you or acknowledge anything, and you are free to say hello or not as you prefer. We talk about how you would like that handled at the beginning, before it ever arises.

Often it does involve regular, usually weekly, sessions over a longer period, because depth takes time. That said, the pace and length are always yours to shape. Being a short walk from central Hove makes a steady rhythm easier, and online sessions can fill in when needed.

We start with a free fifteen-minute call to see whether deeper, ongoing work fits, then set a regular weekly time. The room at 65-67 Western Road is central, a short walk from Brunswick, Cliftonville or the Drive, so keeping a consistent Hove appointment is genuinely easy.

Each session is £80 for sixty minutes, with £100 and £120 options for longer meetings, after a free consultation. The NHS rarely funds open-ended depth work, favouring brief courses, so Hove clients seeking sustained psychotherapy with the same therapist usually choose private sessions close to home.

Yes. Living in Hove, you can keep a steady weekly slot, walking in most weeks and using secure video when life gets in the way, without breaking the thread of the work. Evening appointments help protect that rhythm around your working day and family commitments.
