Relationship Counselling 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.

You begin with a free 15-minute consultation, which is a short talk rather than an assessment. Weekly appointments usually follow within a week or two. There is no referral and no list to join. If shift work means only late slots are realistic for one of you, say so on that first call.

No. The fee covers the appointment, not the number of people in the room. It is £80 for 60 minutes, £100 for 90 minutes and £120 for 120 minutes. Couples often choose a longer session simply because two people need more room to talk. That opening 15-minute conversation is free of charge.

The Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service is the local NHS Talking Therapies team and takes self-referrals without going through your GP. It works mainly with individuals on anxiety and low mood rather than with couples, and there is normally a wait. Mind in Brighton and Hove also lists local support.

Most people use headphones and whichever room has a door. Some join from a parked car, or one of you from work and the other from home. Two separate connections often feel calmer than sitting shoulder to shoulder. If privacy at home is impossible, coming to Hove in person solves it entirely.

The room is in Hove rather than in the middle of town, on a busy road where nobody has any reason to notice who goes in. Nothing is written on the door. What you say stays between us, within the usual limits about serious risk that I would explain at the start.

Yes. Many people in Brighton start relationship work alone, whether a partner is unwilling or you simply want to understand your own part first. Working with one person can still change a stuck dynamic. The Hove room is a short ride west, and online sessions are available too.

Start with a free fifteen-minute call, then book your first session as a couple or on your own. From central Brighton the 1, 6 and 7 buses run west along Western Road, and the train from Brighton Station reaches Hove in a few minutes, a short walk from my room.

Sessions are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety, or £120 for two hours, and the first fifteen-minute consultation is free. Relationship work is rarely funded by the NHS, so most Brighton couples choose private sessions to begin promptly rather than join a long waiting list.

Yes. You can come as a couple to the Hove room or share one secure video call from a flat near the seafront. Individuals are welcome too. Evening slots suit Brighton hospitality and shift patterns, and you can alternate in-person and online sessions to fit a busy week.
