Life in Seaford
Relationship Counselling for people in Seaford
Seaford stretches along the coast beneath the great chalk face of Seaford Head, with the Martello Tower and museum at one end of the front and the wild beauty of Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters close by to the east. It is a quiet town, popular with families and those seeking a slower pace by the sea, and the walking country on its doorstep is some of the finest in Sussex. That quiet can be restorative, but it can also feel isolating when you are struggling. A confidential counselling room further west in Hove gives a private place to talk, reached by car or a short train journey, and online sessions keep support close when travelling feels like too much.

Wherever you are in Seaford, 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 Seaford it is around thirty minutes west by car to Hove, or a train via Lewes or Newhaven into Brighton and on to Hove. Seaford Station sits at the end of the branch line, with regular services through the Ouse valley. There is parking near the room. When the trip feels long, the same sessions are available online by secure video.

Seaford questions
Relationship Counselling in Seaford: common questions
Where do Seaford sessions take place, and can I meet online instead?
In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Seaford it is around thirty minutes west by car, or a train via Lewes or Newhaven, to reach the Hove office. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Seaford 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 travel to relationship counselling from Seaford?
By car it is around thirty minutes west to Hove, or a train via Lewes or Newhaven into Brighton and on to Hove. Seaford sits at the end of the branch line. Because the journey takes a while, many couples find online video sessions the easier choice.
How do I book relationship counselling and travel to Hove from Seaford?
Start with a free fifteen-minute call, then come over for your session. From Seaford it is around thirty minutes west by car to Hove, or a train up the branch line through Newhaven and Lewes onto the main line to Brighton and Hove, then a short walk to the room.
What do couples pay, and is relationship counselling on the NHS in Seaford?
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 Seaford clients choose private sessions, and given the longer journey many find meeting online the simpler option.
Can we attend together or meet online, and do you offer evenings for Seaford?
Yes. Couples can come to the Hove room or share a secure video call from home, which many Seaford clients prefer given the thirty-minute distance. Individuals are welcome alone. Evening slots are available, and you can mix the occasional trip in with online sessions week to week.
What is the train journey from Seaford to Hove like?
Seaford is at the end of a branch line, so trains run up through Newhaven and Lewes, where you join the main line to Brighton and Hove. By car it is about thirty minutes west. Because the journey takes a while, many Seaford clients find online video sessions the easier choice.
