Trauma Counselling in Lancing

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.

A useful rough test is whether the memory behaves like the past. If it brings a physical reaction now, disturbs your sleep, or makes you avoid things, it is being held as unfinished rather than remembered. That is what this work addresses, and we can talk it through first.

An hour costs £80, ninety minutes £100, and a two-hour appointment £120. With a journey involved, some people prefer a longer appointment less frequently. The initial 15-minute consultation is free, so you can ask whatever you need to before committing to anything.

Yes. NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies accepts self-referrals and offers trauma-focused therapy at no charge. Demand is significant in a county where 24.5% of adults reported a high anxiety score in 2022/23. Many people register there and begin private work while they wait.

That is a very reasonable way to do it. Starting at home while you decide whether this suits you, then travelling once you feel steadier, is a common pattern. Nothing about the format is fixed and you can change it as the work goes on.

Not at all. Nothing said in a session goes anywhere else, within the usual confidentiality limits that I explain at the beginning, and there is no expectation that you tell anyone at home. Plenty of people do this work without anyone around them knowing.

Yes. Secure online video sessions bring the same gentle, paced trauma work straight to your home, which some Lancing clients prefer. When you would rather come in, my Hove room is a short train from Lancing Station or twenty to twenty-five minutes east by car.

We begin with a free fifteen-minute call, with no need to share detail, then a first session. Lancing Station is on the main line, east through Shoreham to Hove, or the A259 takes twenty to twenty-five minutes. If travelling feels too much, online video is always available.

Private sessions are £80 for an hour, £100 for ninety minutes and £120 for two, after a free consultation. You can self-refer to free NHS Talking Therapies for West Sussex; waits vary, and seeing me privately means gentle, sooner trauma work at a pace you set.

Some value the containment of the room for trauma work, while others feel safer on video at home; both suit the gentle Rewind Technique. The train makes either straightforward. You lead the pace, with evening and weekend slots to fit around work.
