I offer a supportive, grounded, and reflective space for those seeking help with life’s
challenges, as well as a deeper understanding of themselves.
You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply aware that something needs
attention—even if you’re not yet sure what that is.
My approach is both intuitive and informed. Alongside a compassionate presence, I work
actively and may offer thoughtful challenge or bring attention to what feels just beneath
the surface, in service of deeper awareness and growth.
My work is integrative and transpersonal, attending to both emotional wellbeing and the
deeper layers of meaning, purpose, and inner experience. Many of the people I work with
are seeking not only relief from current difficulties, but a deeper exploration of
themselves and their patterns.
I draw on relational, somatic, and creative approaches—including dreams, meditation,
and mindful awareness—to help you explore patterns, process experience, and reconnect
with your inner resources, from which qualities such as resilience, courage, and clarity
can emerge.
Alongside this, I integrate insights from neuroscience to support an understanding of how
experiences are held in the brain and body, particularly in relation to stress, trauma, and
regulation, and how meaningful, lasting change can emerge over time.
I have extensive experience working with complex emotional and relational dynamics,
and bring a depth-oriented, relational approach to my work.

My name is Hannah, and I am an Integrative Counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

I also work with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to self-esteem and emotional wellbeing.

I offer a consistent, stable and supportive therapeutic relationship, where you can explore your experiences at a pace that feels safe for you. This may include both present-day difficulties and past experiences that continue to affect how you feel today.

My approach is person-centred and integrative, which means I adapt how I work to meet your individual needs. You remain at the centre of the process, and together we can explore what feels most helpful for you. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT-informed techniques, to support understanding, emotional regulation, and change.

I’m Phil, a qualified Integrative Humanistic Counsellor, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy skills, and BACP Registered Member. I provide personalised counselling for adults (18+) in a confidential and supportive environment. Counselling is not a one-size-fits-all process, each person’s journey is unique, and sessions can take different forms depending on your needs and what feels most helpful at the time. Some people benefit from traditional talking therapy, others from structured approaches, and some enjoy creative ways of exploring thoughts and feelings. My aim is to work in a way that fits your pace, your comfort, and your individual journey. Sessions are offered online, by telephone, and face-to-face, providing flexibility to suit different lifestyles and circumstances. My practice is built on respect, collaboration, and recognising the individuality of every client. The counselling space is warm, safe, and non-judgemental, where experiences are listened to, feelings are valued, and personal insights are encouraged.

Hi, my name is Jane and I am an integrative therapist who specializes in trauma and abuse. I also have a particular interest in relational work and attachment theory (how a disrupted bond with our main caregiver can impact our ability to feel safe within relationships).
You might feel stuck or alone in your situation, perhaps caught up in repetitive ways of thinking, struggling to come to any solution. Our emotions are clues to what is really going on for us. I will help you to go beneath the surface of the problem and understand what is driving thoughts, feelings or behaviours.
A safe space helps us to explore ourselves at a deeper level. My training and life experience informs a broad-minded, non-judgemental acceptance of whatever you choose to bring to therapy.
I frequently work with panic, anxiety, and depression. This might be trauma with a ‘little t’, meaning emotional distress due to the cumulative impact of multiple events such as bullying, verbal abuse, emotional neglect, or criticism. I also work with sexual abuse or major trauma, including PTSD.

I am a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist. I completed my training at CICS – Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology. This contemporary and pluralistic training equipped me with a diverse therapeutic toolkit, including interventions from a wide range of modalities such as CBT, Humanistic, Gestalt, etc. This breadth allows me to collaborate with clients in creating a tailored therapeutic plan that respects their unique needs, histories and hopes for change.
Central to my practice is the creation of a safe, non judgmental, and inclusive environment where clients can explore personal topics at their own pace.
My approach is person centred, trauma informed, and grounded in science, with a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
I draw from a holistic biopsychosocial lens to help clients understand themselves and their relationships with greater clarity. I balance compassion with gentle challenge, supporting clients to develop emotional resilience, self acceptance and further ways of relating.
My background in Biomedical Engineering and IT programming, shaped my appreciation for systems, complexity and the interplay between mind and body. My journey from engineering to therapy reflects a shift from binary, solution focused thinking to an approach that embraces nuance, curiosity, and genuine human connection. One of my natural skills is to listen beyond words.
At the heart of my work is a simple intention: to support clients on their journey to having healthier and fulfilled sex lives and relationships with others and themselves.
My practice supports clients with a wide range of concerns related to: erections, low desire, pain, orgasms, sexuality or gender identity, kinks and fetishes, compulsive sexual behaviour, sexual health, fertility, childhood sexual abuse, intimate partner violence or sexual violence.
I am a registered member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists – COSRT and I abide by their Code of Ethics and Practice.
I offer individual and relationship therapy in both English EN) and Portuguese (PT), available online or in person in the Brighton and Hove area.

With over thirty years of experience working with people from all walks of life, I understand how complex and varied our journeys can be. I’m passionate about creating a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported — wherever you are in your story.
As a trauma-informed and EMDR-trained therapist, I work with individuals and couples around a wide range of issues, with particular specialisms in psychosexual therapy, relationships, and trauma recovery. I also provide supervision for fellow therapists and practitioners, offering a collaborative and reflective space to grow in confidence and insight.
My approach is warm, empathic, and non-judgemental. I believe therapy should feel like a safe haven — a place where you can explore what’s troubling you, make sense of your experiences, and begin to move forward with greater clarity and self-compassion.
At New Horizons Network, my aim is to help you find hope and possibility, even in the most difficult times — supporting you to create new ways of living, relating, and being.

Hello, I am an experienced Integrative counsellor offering a welcoming, confidential space where I will support you with whatever you are finding challenging in your life right now including, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and ADHD. My approach combines humanistic and other therapeutic techniques that allow me to tailor my support to your unique needs. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and work hard to provide a warm, compassionate environment where you will feel truly heard.
I offer counselling for all of life’s ups and downs; originally training in bereavement counselling this has become a specialty of mine and I have now worked in this field for over 15 years.
Have you suffered a bereavement or loss? This may be the death of a loved one, friend or colleague, or, it may be a different kind of loss such as that of a relationship, your home, business or health. I am passionate about supporting people through what can be one of the most difficult times of their lives.
Are you a young person who is finding life difficult? Or the parent or relative of a young person who is struggling?
Working with young people is something I am passionate about. Having completed additional specialist training in young persons’ counselling, I enjoy connecting with them to help them gain the confidence and tools they need to navigate their way through adolescence and early adulthood.
Having had a career as a nurse in the forces, I also have a special interest in trauma and working with forces, ex-forces and emergency services personnel.

I offer a free phone consultation as standard to help you decide if I am the right counsellor for you.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Warmest regards.

Caroline

Face to face sessions for this therapist are held at BIZ SPACE, AERODROME STUDIOS, CHRISTCHURCH.

Hi, I’m Julie, a qualified integrative counsellor offering a warm, supportive space where you can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. I work with clients who often appear to be coping, but inwardly feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or lost in people-pleasing patterns. You might find it hard to say no, set boundaries, or feel ‘good enough’ and you may be tired of carrying that quiet weight alone.
In our work together, we’ll gently unpick the beliefs and experiences that shaped how you relate to yourself and others. I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach that helps clients feel safe, seen, and gradually more empowered to reclaim their self-worth.
I also have specialist training in supporting clients with Binge Eating Disorder (BED), where we explore emotional eating in the context of shame, self-protection, and unmet needs, never judgment or control.
Whether you’re looking to process a specific issue or simply want to reconnect with who you are underneath the pressures of life, therapy with me is a place to come home to yourself, with kindness.
