Life in Lancing
Relationship Counselling for people in Lancing
Lancing runs along the coast west of the Adur, its long shingle beach and the tranquil Widewater Lagoon backed by the streets of North and South Lancing. High above, the great chapel of Lancing College crowns the Downs, a landmark seen for miles around. It is a quiet, unpretentious seaside community, popular with families and those who like living between the sea and the hills. Distance from the city can bring a sense of being a little apart, which can weigh on anyone going through a hard time. A confidential counselling room east along the coast in Hove offers a private space to talk, and online sessions keep support close when travelling is difficult.

Wherever you are in Lancing, the work is the same, a calm, confidential space shaped around you.
The relationship counselling itself
Relationship counselling here, for couples or individuals, slows down the pattern you are caught in and builds healthier ways of hearing and being heard.
The approach is the same wherever you come from, so rather than repeat it on every page you can read it in full, the methods, what each session covers and fees, on the main relationship counselling page and on how I work.
Sessions in person or online
Sessions take place in a private, comfortable room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove, held to the strict BACP confidentiality you would expect. We begin with a free fifteen-minute call to check we are a good fit, and the same sessions are available by secure video if travelling is difficult or you would simply prefer it.
From Lancing it is a twenty to twenty-five minute drive east along the A259 to Hove, or a short train journey on the main coastal line, with Lancing Station running frequent services through Shoreham and Portslade to Hove. There is parking near the room. When the trip feels like more than you want to manage, the same sessions are available online by secure video.

Relationship Counselling in Lancing
Why people in Lancing come for relationship counselling
Lancing is a quiet, unpretentious seaside community set between the sea and the hills, and being a little apart from the city can leave a straining relationship feeling short of support. Relationship counselling offers you and your partner a private hour to slow the same argument down and find your way back to each other. Come together or on your own, since one person can begin to shift a stuck pattern. The room is east along the coast in Hove, around twenty to twenty-five minutes by car or a short train from Lancing Station, with online sessions there too.
A free, unhurried first step

Lancing questions
Relationship Counselling in Lancing: common questions
Where do Lancing sessions take place, and can I meet online instead?
In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Lancing it is a twenty to twenty-five minute drive east along the A259, or a short train journey, to reach Hove. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Lancing or blend the two.
Can I come on my own, without my partner?
Yes. A great deal can change when one person shifts the pattern; you do not need to attend as a couple to do useful work.
Can we join the session from different locations?
Yes. Online makes it easy for couples in different places, or juggling childcare, to attend together.
Will you take sides?
No. We look at the pattern the two of you create together and where it gets stuck, not at who is to blame.
Can we reach relationship counselling by train from Lancing?
Yes. Lancing Station is on the main coastal line, and trains run east through Shoreham and Portslade to Hove, then a short walk to Western Road. By car the A259 takes around twenty to twenty-five minutes. If coming in together is tricky, online sessions are available too.
How do I book couples counselling and travel to Hove from Lancing?
Start with a free fifteen-minute call, then come over for your session. From Lancing it is a twenty to twenty-five minute drive east along the A259, or a short train from Lancing Station on the main line through Shoreham and Portslade to Hove, then a walk to the room.
What do sessions cost, and is relationship counselling on the NHS in Lancing?
Relationship sessions are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, after a free fifteen-minute consultation. The NHS rarely funds couples work, so most Lancing clients choose private sessions, valuing an easy train east and starting without a waiting list.
Can we attend together or meet online, and do you offer evenings for Lancing?
Yes. Couples can come to the Hove room or share a secure video call from home between the sea and the Downs. Individuals are welcome alone. Evening slots are available around work and family, and you can mix the train in with online sessions to suit your week.
