Relationship Counselling for Hove
Hove, with its elegant Regency squares, Church Road shops and wide seafront lawns, is home to my practice. Wherever in Hove you're coming from, whether Palmeira Square, Hove Lawns, Church Road and Brunswick are on your doorstep or a little further out, you're welcome here.
My counselling room is at Intergen House on Western Road in 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. If getting here is difficult, or you'd simply prefer it, we can meet by secure video instead.
I see clients for relationship counselling in neighbouring areas too, including Brighton, Portslade, Hangleton.
So whether you are searching for relationship counselling near you in Hove, or weighing up in-person against online sessions, you are in the right place.
What I help with
How relationship counselling can help
Trust and repair
Rebuilding safety after betrayal or addiction.
Distance
Finding your way back to closeness.
Addiction in relationships
Support where a partner's addiction has affected you.
Anxiety and reassurance
Working with people-pleasing and the need for control.
Individual work
You do not need to come as a couple to change the dynamic.
What to expect
Why people from Hove choose to work with me
Flexible slots
Evening and weekend appointments mean sessions can usually fit around work and life in Hove, not the other way round.
Rooted in the area
Based on the Sussex coast, I see people from right across Brighton & Hove, Hove included, every week.
The whole picture
We look beyond the symptom to what's underneath, because lasting change comes from the root, not the surface.
A private, discreet room
My Hove room is comfortable and confidential, an easy place to come to from Hove without bumping into anyone you know.
How I work
Here's how the work itself tends to unfold. 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.
Many of the people I work with come from Hove and nearby. You don't need to travel far; what matters most is not the distance but finding someone who genuinely fits.
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 conversationFinding support in Hove
My counselling sits alongside the help available locally, and it can be worth knowing what else is there. For free NHS talking therapy in Hove, 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.
If you need urgent help now
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.
