Counselling
Getting to the point where you're actively searching online for a counsellor is significant, I know that from experience, so thank you for pausing here.
I'm a Person-centred counsellor - what does that mean? I believe people looking for therapy can make the changes required to improve their situation themselves by being offered a quiet, confidential space to talk and explore uninterrupted without anyone telling them what to do or give them advice. I offer that and can hold whatever you bring safely, professionally and without any judgement. Nothing you bring will phase me but saying it out loud might be a relief and exploring it with me may help you understand the why. This is what I believe Person-centred counselling is.
I work with people who have had or are having many different feelings and experiences right now. That includes people who have had significant events in their lives that may still be sitting with them and troubling them, including trauma. I am also experienced in supporting LGBTQIA+ people - as a gay man I know this community genuinely. Overwhelm, anxiety, stress, bereavement and depression are just some of the other life challenges I can support and work with.
You don't need the right words or to have it all worked out. Just knowing something needs to change is enough to start. Reach out today if you think I might be able to help, and we can talk it through in a free, no-pressure chat.
I work from a private annexe near Midhurst overlooking the South Downs. It has its own entrance and parking, and it's completely separate from my home. It's peaceful, quiet and welcoming. I also work online if that suits you better. Sessions are £55, with concessions available for students and people on low incomes.
