FEES £60.00 for a 50 minute session PROFILE I'm a counsellor working with adults in Worthing, Hove and online. Most of my work is around anxiety, loss and relationship issues and I support people trying to make sense of their difficult feelings in a safe and non-judgemental environment. In the most difficult of times, it can be an effort to take a break and give some proper attention to your own wellbeing, and yet it can be so worthwhile to talk through concerns and fears with someone who is not part of your life.
As well as my counselling private practice, I volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Support as a supervisor, supporting their bereavement volunteers in their work for the charity. My previous related experience includes: counsellor for Pavilions Drugs and Alcohol Service in their Families and Carers Team; counselling the bereaved and those anticipating bereavement at St Catherine’s Hospice in Crawley; as a listening volunteer for the Samaritans.

FULL PROFILE I have been working in the field of counselling and therapy with women and men, over a wide range of ages and from all walks of life, also children (age 8 – 17) with a variety of issues.
I believe that everyone has the potential to change and is able to repair and/or rebuild their lives. I feel the most important aspect of this work is to have a good enough relationship with your counsellor so that you are able to talk about anything that concerns you. My training is within Psychodynamic Counselling and Therapy. I have worked within a variety of settings, including the NHS, Schools, Women’s centres and organisations that work with domestic violence and diverse / ethnic communities. I have particular interest in childhood Trauma, uprooting and Ethnic issues. I have great deal of experience working with in culturally sensitive areas. I see people for short term or open-ended. Often people wonder how counselling or talking to someone can help. When you see a Counsellor/Therapist, you will have a consistency and continuity of a professional relationship, which provides you a space where you are being properly listened to. This can then allow you to think and get a clear idea of what is going on for you. Together with your Counsellor/Therapist you can begin to explore and unpack your ideas, views, opinions, etc. This could lead you to more clarity and you may become more mindful of yourself. If you would like to get stated, please call or email to set up an initial session. We can talk about what you would like to get out of counselling and if you're happy to continue we will arrange to see each other on a weekly basis.

FEES £45 FULL PROFILE I believe everyone needs to feel valued, respected and supported. Therapy can facilitate exploration into the present and past experiences, enabling greater clarity of what has shaped us and how to create positive change. As unique individuals, we experience different situations, events or upbringings which shape and influence how we think, feel and behave. Talking to a Counsellor can help understand why sometimes you act in ways that do not serve you well.
Counselling can help gain awareness of unconscious behaviour to help regain more control and work to overcome issues. Counselling can help people identify and overcome the causes of their negative patterns, to create lasting change in the way they experience their lives and relationships. Counselling can be a very effective way of dealing with a variety of problems. Having trained for four years with the CPCAB I have a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. My training was integrative, which means I understand many different counselling approaches, so I can adapt how I work to best suit your needs. I have experience working with people of all ages and experiencing various issues. I also work within schools providing face-to-face sessions with young people from 5 years onwards. I also have 15 years of experience working with children and young people with emotional barriers to learning. I work in an empathic, non-directive approach, working alongside you to explore together issues you may bring, help gain clarity and work to bring positive change. It is important that you find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with, therefore I offer an initial 30-minute telephone consultation which gives us an opportunity to outline what brings you to counselling and to decide whether you would like to work with me. I am able to offer face-to-face sessions as well as online. The number of sessions required varies from person to person depending on the nature and severity of the issue, therefore I am able to offer both short and long-term counselling.

FEES Individuals £50 per 50-minute session Couples £65 per 50-minute session FULL PROFILE I am Roz Merrick (she/her) and I am a qualified counsellor. I work with adults and teenagers with a wide range of issues without judging or advising. Along with my private practice my counselling experience includes managing a busy counselling provision at a college for staff and students, working for YMCA Dialogue, counselling in schools, sixth form, Acorn Pregnancy Counselling Service, and the As You Are Charity in Southwick. I am also a University Mental Health Mentor, experienced at working with young adults.
The therapeutic relationship is key to the work we do together and, having had counselling myself, I am aware of the importance of finding the counsellor who feels the best ‘fit’ for you. Someone who listens, validates where appropriate, encourages, challenges, and supports so you can more fully discover who you are the choices you want for yourself. I follow your lead and work in the way most appropriate to you, helping to make sense of, address concerns, or work towards the improved self-esteem, empowerment, change or self-acceptance you desire. I am trained in a range of theories, though I am person-centred at my ‘core’, believing that you are the expert on yourself and your life (although at times help is required to remind ourselves of this). My aim is for you to feel safe to explore whatever life issues you are facing. Whatever your age, culture, heritage, gender, sexuality, faith or background, we will address the issues important to you. I am calm, warm, empathic and respectful in my approach, cultivating a relationship of trust where you are in the driving seat. I offer gentle challenge where appropriate. Our first session will be at half the usual cost so that we can meet for an initial 50-minute session and then decide whether to continue to work together.

FEES Free initial consultation over the phone/Zoom £55 per session lasting 50 min Bursaries available FULL PROFILE I believe therapy is about creating a safe and supportive space for exploring life transitions and challenges. The relationship with clients I aim for is based on collaboration and trust, which is an important vehicle for healing and experimenting with what is new and possible.
My practice is underpinned by Transactional Analysis, which is an accessible approach that allows people to understand better themselves and how they relate to others. Children and throughout life, we learn to behave and feel in certain ways, whilst these patterns are necessary to survive initially, they may get stuck. Therapy supports the awareness, adaptation and letting go of what is no longer helpful. I integrate my core theoretical framework with other techniques and creativity so the process is flexible and allows for what can be difficult and unspoken to emerge. The client’s consent is a key principle of my work. The therapeutic work may encompass a wide range of issues, these goal of our work can be focused on: - exploration (e.g. I want to explore how loss/trauma affected my life) - dealing with a specific issue (e.g. I want to deal with stress better) - clarification (e.g. I want to understand my relationships) - development (e.g. I want to lead a more meaningful life) I’m a qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor and have been passionately involved in additional training, particularly around attachment issues and trauma. I also undertake in depth supervision to support my learning and development as a practitioner. My background, prior to becoming a counsellor, is in voluntary sector. I have worked with helping professionals and mental health practitioners in the NHS for the last 10 years. This experience, as well as work as an interpreter in my earlier career have given me invaluable understanding and compassion for people experiencing psychological difficulties and the circumstances in which they occur. I abide by ethical codes of National Counselling Society and United Kingdom Association for Transactional Analysis. Training, qualifications, accreditations, and memberships

FEES £60 for 50 minutes £70 for 60 minutes FULL PROFILE People are often drawn to counselling as there is a desire to create change in the areas where we feel dissatisfied or unfulfilled. Counselling is an opportunity to address the aspects of life which we feel are no longer serving us. This can be challenging and courageous, my role is to support you through this process.
The advantage of my integrative therapy is versatility. I work with you flexibly and support your expression, however that looks and feels for you. Traditionally, this is through words and speaking, at times you may also be drawn to; writing, art, movement, meditation, music or embodiment practices. I also offer Lifespan Integration (LI) therapy which works with regulating the nervous system and the subconscious parts within us. LI supports us to move through trauma into safety, enabling us move through areas we feel stuck in. I offer a safe and confidential space where collaboratively we will build deeper levels of awareness and understanding in the areas you choose. I focus on you as an individual and your personal experience, away from any labels. The way we work together is always a choice and taken at your pace, so we can form a trusting and solid foundation on which to work together. My approach is to guide and assist in empowering you to find your own answers and way forward in life. As well as my private practice, I run a regular Eating Disorder support group and short-term groups for areas such as anger management and self-esteem. I believe the mind and the body are connected in a very powerful way. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who want to feel more comfortable within their body. I come from a corporate background and understand the pressures of life. I see first-hand how counselling and wellbeing have the power to change how we experience ourselves and the world around us. I am committed to my profession and my personal development. I ensure that I attend regular training events to continue to broaden my knowledge in my field. I believe that finding the right therapist is fundamental to your counselling process. Therefore, should you have any questions or queries before we begin to work together, I am happy to explore these with you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation over the phone.

With 20 years practice, I am a highly experienced qualified and accredited Psychotherapist and experienced Clinical Supervisor and Mindfulness teacher.

Additional information: I offer a low income/unemployed rate and a standard rate. The standard rate is open to negotiation based on means (income) and mode (phone/ face to face or on-line). FULL PROFILE I am an integrative practitioner, drawing on principles of theories in humanistic psychotherapy. I have a person-centred focus on my clients, by bringing together different therapeutic approaches. This requires a broad range of understanding in a range of theories including (but not limited to) Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and Attachment Theory. I have a licence to practice from the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body. I am a registered member of The British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I work with clients on multiple issues including relationships, stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness, grief, abuse, low self-esteem, trauma, and cross-cultural issues. I also have experience in dealing with workplace-related stress, work/life balance challenges, and managing complex relationships. I have over 30 years of corporate experience, mainly in the human resource sector, and have worked at all levels in administrative, middle management, and executive roles. My approach is to listen to you while creating a warm, friendly and supportive environment. Our relationship grows with openness, honesty, and trust. This is all underpinned by working to the BACP Ethical Framework and in confidence. My person-centred modality carries the core belief that we are all born innately good. Things happen to us along our journey in life. Learnt behaviour and experiences shape our thoughts and feelings in our development. We can repeat our reactions to circumstances when they occur in adulthood. We can become unconscious of our behaviours because of the busy lives we lead. It's as if our experiences stick to us like"papier mache' " in the developmental years, forming a different self. This can be an uncomfortable and unwelcome reality that we want to change in adulthood or when it becomes painful, but we often do not know how to. We can work together to strip this different self back so that you can reveal the authentic "you”, create a new reality and access your true potential. We can establish how we will work together during a free initial assessment session which typically lasts 30 minutes. I offer an open-ended contract that we review regularly to make sure you are getting what you need from our sessions. I offer face-to-face, online and telephone counselling. I attend regular supervision for all clients and am fully insured. CONTACT |

FEES Individuals £40 Couples £50 Block booking, student and concessionary discounts available. FULL PROFILE I am a qualified and experienced therapist for individuals and couples who can help you gain insight, understanding and self-acceptance and move towards a greater sense of calmness and clarity. We will start with how you are now - your anxiety, depression, conflict or numbness are the key to making sense of the responses which may no longer be serving you well. Gaining a fresh perspective on your inner self can help build resilience and purpose for living well, even in the face of future struggles and difficulties that life inevitably brings. As a Relate qualified Couples’ Counsellor I am experienced in supporting and facilitating couples to manage relationship difficulties at any stage of their life together. New or unexpected situations, major life crises or demanding work or caring responsibilities can open cracks in any relationship. Therapy can help you to find a way through the problems and create positive change in how you are with one another. Coping with crises, repairing or rebuilding your connection and improving your communication or intimate life are some of the aspects we might work on. I provide a safe and confidential space where you will be fully heard without judgement. From this secure base you can feel free to explore your feelings, relationships and experiences, bringing to light what you may not have been able to see on your own. Within the therapeutic relationship comes a depth of understanding which can bring relief and hope. Things in your life may not have unfolded as planned, relationships may not have gone as you expected. But emotional insight carries with it the possibility of new beginnings. My training includes a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Therapy as well as a Level 5 in Relationship Counselling (Relate). For the past 9+ years I have been counselling people of all genders, backgrounds, sexual orientations and cultures. From this intensive training and experience we can draw on various approaches, tailored to your own needs to help you re-discover who you are meant to be. As a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) my practice is thoroughly grounded in professional ethics underpinned by ongoing supervision and continual professional development to ensure I provide a confidential, safe environment and that I am the best I can be for you.

Maybe you’re feeling low or struggling with anxiety or self-confidence? I provide a safe space for you to explore what’s going on for you – including any thoughts and feelings that you may be finding it hard to talk about with other people or, perhaps, admit to yourself. This might involve counselling, coaching, or a bit of both. I offer the first session at half price so we can see if we think we would work well together – it’s important you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose. I tailor our work together according to your needs – you are investing your time and money here. You may need just a few sessions to address what you need, or you may need more. We’ll review and agree how we work together as we go. I’m open to fortnightly as well as weekly sessions, which may help you manage the cost and the pace of our work. My coaching and counselling approach is rooted in Person-Centred, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt. I also draw on elements of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness. As well as being a coach and counsellor myself, I also supervise the work of other therapists. We can meet in person at The Counselling Practice at Evelyn Road or via video, phone, live chat or email, or we might use a combination of these. If you’d like to know more about me and how I work, please visit my website: www.wholepeople.net, contact me via email pat@wholepeople.net or phone me on 07597 594065. CONTACT |

FEES £55 per 50 minute in-person session £45 per 50 minute online session PROFILE If you’re struggling right now, I can help. I specialise in helping people experiencing anxiety or stress, and can also help with issues like depression, relationships, bereavement, and anger. I work online and in person. I work collaboratively and compassionately, and always follow your lead. I’m inclusive and welcoming whatever your background, identity or experience. We can explore your experiences so you can better understand yourself, increase compassion for yourself, and become better equipped at coping with anything life throws at you. I’ll help you learn to listen to and embrace your feelings, rather than push them away. We can explore your unique experience, your history, relationships, if there are any feelings that haven't been given a voice, and how to move forward. As well as my psychotherapy qualification, I’ve done further training in: working online, trauma, LGBTQ+, whiteness and racism, dream work and more.

FEES £60 per session PROFILE I am a Body-Psychotherapist working across Brighton, Hove and Worthing. Before retraining and working as a psychotherapist, I spent over a decade working for the YMCA as a support worker. It was both a challenging and rewarding role working with homeless young people. Working with the young people, their struggles, traumas and challenges with addiction gave me a strong foundation for retraining as a psychotherapist. My experience in body work began with my lifelong practice of Martial arts which later led me on to explore Yoga, forms of massage, movement practices and ultimately Body-Psychotherapy. A bit about Body-Psychotherapy. Body-psychotherapy is an approach that works on the understanding that our life experiences, emotions and relationships are not only experienced in the mind but are lived through and impact our bodies in many different ways. Alongside talk therapy, techniques such as Biodynamic massage (a form of bodywork & psychotherapeutic touch), breathing and movement exercises are used to engage with the body bringing awareness to how our experiences are lived and felt, opening the possibility of lasting change. Body psychotherapy is a different process for each person and I aim to support my clients in what feels right for them each session within a safe and confidential space. Training, qualifications, accreditations, and memberships I am a qualified Body-Psychotherapist and Bio-dynamic massage therapist. I trained at Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre and am registered with the UKCP and AMBT. CONTACT |
