Life in Newhaven
Relationship Counselling for people in Newhaven
Newhaven is a working town at heart, built around its port on the mouth of the Ouse, with the cross-Channel ferry to Dieppe, the historic Fort on the headland and Paradise Park drawing people in. Denton and Meeching climb the hillsides above the harbour, and the estuary and West Beach give the place its own rugged character. It is a practical, hard-working community where money and work pressures are part of daily life, and reaching out for help can feel like a big step. A confidential counselling room along the coast in Hove offers a calm, private space to talk it through, and online sessions bring that support home when a trip is difficult.

Wherever you are in Newhaven, 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 Newhaven the coast road runs west through Peacehaven and Brighton to Hove, around twenty-five minutes by car. There is also a train via Lewes to Brighton and on to Hove, with two stations, Newhaven Town and Newhaven Harbour, in the town. There is parking near the room. Online video sessions are always available when travelling in is difficult.

Newhaven questions
Relationship Counselling in Newhaven: common questions
Where do Newhaven sessions take place, and can I meet online instead?
In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Newhaven it is around twenty-five minutes west along the coast through Peacehaven and Brighton to Hove, or a train via Lewes. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Newhaven 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.
How do we get to relationship counselling from Newhaven?
By car the coast road west through Peacehaven and Brighton takes around twenty-five minutes. There is also a train via Lewes to Brighton and Hove, from Newhaven Town or Newhaven Harbour. Because the journey is a fair one, some couples prefer online video sessions from home.
How do I book relationship counselling and travel to Hove from Newhaven?
Start with a free fifteen-minute call, then come over for your session. From Newhaven the coast road runs west through Peacehaven and Brighton to Hove, around twenty-five minutes by car, or a train via Lewes to Brighton and on to Hove, then a short walk to the room.
What do couples pay, and is relationship counselling on the NHS in Newhaven?
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 Newhaven clients choose private sessions, and with work and money pressures common here, the free consultation is a no-cost first step.
Can we attend together or meet online, and do you offer evenings for Newhaven?
Yes. Couples can come to the Hove room or share a secure video call from home, which many Newhaven clients find easier given the journey. Individuals are welcome alone. Evening slots suit work around the port and town, and you can mix the trip in with online sessions.
Can I get to Hove by train from Newhaven?
Yes, though it runs via Lewes. Trains from Newhaven Town reach Lewes, where you change for Brighton and Hove. By car the coast road west takes around twenty-five minutes. Because the journey is a fair one, some Newhaven clients prefer online video sessions from home.
