Life in Shoreham-by-Sea
Relationship Counselling for people in Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham-by-Sea gathers around the river Adur, where the famous houseboats line the bank and the Ferry Bridge links the town to the shingle spit of Shoreham Beach. The old High Street, the Norman church of St Mary de Haura, the Marlipins Museum and the Ropetackle arts centre give it a lively, creative feel, while the little airport keeps its own charm just upriver. It is a characterful, tight-knit town where people value community and independence. When life gets difficult, having a confidential counselling room a short way east in Hove offers welcome privacy, easily reached by road or rail, and online sessions provide the same support without leaving Shoreham at all.

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 Shoreham the coast road or the train brings you east through Southwick and Portslade to Hove in around fifteen to twenty minutes. Shoreham-by-Sea Station sits on the main line, with frequent trains to Hove and a short walk on to Western Road. There is parking near the room. Online video sessions are always available if you would rather not travel.

Relationship Counselling in Shoreham-by-Sea
Why people in Shoreham-by-Sea come for relationship counselling
Shoreham-by-Sea is a characterful, tight-knit town where people value community and independence, and relationship strain can be hard to carry in a place where faces are familiar. Relationship counselling gives you and your partner a private hour, a short way from home, to slow the pattern down and hear each other again. You are welcome together or on your own, since one person can begin to shift a stuck dynamic. The room is east in Hove, around fifteen to twenty minutes by road or a direct train from Shoreham Station, with online sessions there too when you would rather not travel.

Shoreham-by-Sea questions
Relationship Counselling in Shoreham-by-Sea: common questions
Where do Shoreham-by-Sea sessions take place, and can I meet online instead?
In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Shoreham the coast road or a short train ride brings you east through Southwick and Portslade to Hove in around fifteen to twenty minutes. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Shoreham-by-Sea 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.
Is the train from Shoreham handy for relationship counselling in Hove?
Yes. Shoreham-by-Sea Station is on the main coastal line, and trains run directly east through Portslade to Hove in a few minutes, then a short walk to Western Road. The coast road by car is just as easy. When you would rather stay put, online sessions are there.

What do sessions cost, and is relationship counselling on the NHS in Shoreham?
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 Shoreham clients choose private sessions, valuing an easy trip east and no waiting list before starting.
Can we attend together or meet online, and do you offer evenings for Shoreham?
Yes. Couples can come to the Hove room, fifteen to twenty minutes east, or share a secure video call from home by the Adur. Individuals are welcome alone. Evening slots are available, and you can mix the direct train in with online sessions to fit a busy week.
