Life in Worthing
Relationship Counselling for people in Worthing
Worthing has the feel of a classic seaside town rediscovering itself, its Victorian pier and the Art Deco Dome Cinema anchoring a seafront that has grown a lively independent and creative scene in recent years. Montague Street and the town centre bustle, Steyne Gardens and Beach House Park give room to breathe, and neighbourhoods from Broadwater to Goring and Tarring each keep their own character. Behind the seaside cheer, people here carry the same private struggles as anywhere, and a busy town can feel lonely. A confidential counselling room east along the coast in Hove offers a discreet place to talk, reached easily by train, and online sessions keep support within reach.

Wherever you are in Worthing, 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 Worthing the room is around twenty-five to thirty minutes east by car along the A259, or a direct train to Hove on the main coastal line. Both Worthing and West Worthing stations run frequent services through Lancing and Shoreham to Hove, with a short walk on to Western Road. There is parking near the room. Online video sessions are always available too.

Relationship Counselling in Worthing
Why people in Worthing come for relationship counselling
Worthing may be a lively seaside town rediscovering itself, but behind the seaside cheer couples here carry the same private strains as anywhere, and a busy town can feel lonely. Relationship counselling offers you both a calm, confidential hour to slow the recurring argument down and find your way back to closeness. You are welcome together or on your own, since one person can begin to shift a stuck pattern. The room is east along the coast in Hove, a direct train or around twenty-five to thirty minutes by car, with online sessions there too when you would rather not travel.

Worthing questions
Relationship Counselling in Worthing: common questions
Where do Worthing sessions take place, and can I meet online instead?
In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. From Worthing the office is around twenty-five to thirty minutes east by car along the A259, or a direct train to Hove. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Worthing 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 there a direct train for relationship counselling from Worthing?
Yes. The main coastal line runs direct from Worthing and West Worthing east through Shoreham to Hove in around twenty minutes, then a short walk to Western Road. By car the A259 is straightforward. If you would rather not travel, online sessions work just as well.
How do I book relationship counselling and travel to Hove from Worthing?
Start with a free fifteen-minute call, then come over for your session. From Worthing it is around twenty-five to thirty minutes east by car along the A259, or a direct train from Worthing or West Worthing on the main line to Hove, then a short walk to the room.
What do couples pay, and is relationship counselling on the NHS in Worthing?
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 Worthing clients choose private sessions, valuing a direct train east and starting without a long waiting list.
Can we attend together or meet online, and do you offer evenings for Worthing?
Yes. Couples can come to the Hove room or share a secure video call from home in Worthing. Individuals are welcome alone. Evening slots are available around work and family, and you can mix the direct train in with online sessions to fit a busy week.
