Trauma Counselling in Southwick

In a private room at Intergen House on Western Road in central Hove. Southwick is around ten to fifteen minutes east of the office along the coast road, or two stops by train to Hove. Every service is also available by secure video across the UK, so you can meet from any private space in Southwick or blend the two.

Mostly listening and orientation. Bradley will ask how things are affecting you now, explain how the work runs, and answer whatever you want to ask. There is no expectation that you disclose anything about the event in that first hour, or indeed later.

Yes. The Rewind Technique is designed around that. It works with how the memory is stored rather than with a spoken account of it, so people who have never said a word about what happened can still find the intrusions and the jumpiness settle.

£80 for the hour, £100 for ninety minutes, £120 for two hours. A longer slot leaves more room to settle at the end, which some people prefer before heading back along the coast. Nothing is charged for the initial 15-minute consultation.

NHS West Sussex Talking Therapies takes self-referrals and will assess trauma symptoms, offering trauma-focused therapy where it fits or referring on within the NHS where something more specialist is needed. West Sussex Mind can also signpost other local support.

That is often the sensible answer. A private room ten to fifteen minutes away gives you an hour nobody in the house is party to. If travelling is difficult, video with headphones at a time when the place is empty is the usual alternative.

No. The Rewind Technique I often draw on is gentle and non-intrusive, so you never need to relive or speak the detail aloud. We work entirely at your pace, in my nearby Hove room or online from Southwick, and you stay in control.

We start with a free fifteen-minute call, with no pressure to explain, then a first session. Southwick Station is a couple of stops from Hove, or the coast road takes ten to fifteen minutes. If travelling feels unsafe, online video is always there.

Private sessions are £80 for sixty minutes, £100 for ninety and £120 for two hours, 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 control.

Some value the containment of the room for trauma work, while others feel safer on video at home; both suit the gentle Rewind Technique. Being close, popping over is easy either way. You lead the pace, with evening and weekend slots available.
