In a supportive, non-judgemental space, for couples or individuals, we find a way through the conflict, distance and miscommunication that has been wearing you down.
Hangleton is a settled residential neighbourhood in the north of Hove, close to the open South Downs. Whether you live near Hangleton Park, St Helen's Church and the nearby Downs, or travel in from the wider area, I offer a calm, confidential space to do this work.
Sessions take place at Intergen House on Western Road in Hove, a discreet, comfortable space. From Hangleton it is a straightforward ten to fifteen minute drive or bus down into central Hove and Western Road. Online sessions are there too, if that suits you better.
Just along the way, the same support is available in Hove, Portslade, Patcham.

What to expect
I've known anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma myself, so I understand them from the inside, not just the textbook.
Whatever brings you in from Hangleton, you'll be met with warmth and respect, never lectures or shame.
We go at your pace. You decide how much to share and when, and the sessions stop when you've arrived where you want to be.
The room is in central Hove, close to Hangleton with good bus and rail links and parking nearby.
Whether we meet in the room or on screen, the approach is the same. My approach is integrative and person-centred. We are not looking for someone to blame, but at the system the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, drawing on relational therapy, Internal Family Systems and Human Givens approaches.
Life in Hangleton brings its own pressures, and reaching out is a real step. Whether Hangleton Park, St Helen's Church and the nearby Downs are part of your everyday or you simply pass through, you are welcome here.
You can read more about relationship counselling and about my methods, sessions and fees. There is no obligation: we begin with a free fifteen minute call to see whether we are the right fit.
Start the conversationMy counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Hangleton, you can refer yourself directly to the Brighton and Hove Wellbeing Service, with no GP referral needed. You can also find your nearest service through the NHS Talking Therapies finder.
Seeing me privately usually means you can start sooner, stay with the same counsellor throughout, and work at greater depth and pace; the two can run side by side, and I'm glad to work alongside any NHS or GP support you already have. If you are waiting for NHS therapy, beginning privately can be a way to make a start now rather than putting things off, and we can always work in whatever way fits best alongside what is already in place.
This practice is not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
For urgent mental health support, call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option. The Samaritans are free, day or night, on 116 123, or text SHOUT to 85258.
