Services
Trauma Treatment
Specialised trauma treatment addresses the lasting effects of childhood abuse, accidents, or loss through evidence-based techniques like AIT and EFT. Our approach prioritises creating a safe therapeutic space to process unresolved experiences while building emotional resilience. Clients develop coping strategies to overcome anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges stemming from traumatic events.
Online Therapy
Flexible online therapy sessions via Zoom, Teams, or phone provide accessible mental health support for clients outside Brighton & Hove. Secure virtual appointments maintain the same therapeutic standards as in-person sessions, with options for pre-session bank transfers or PayPal payments ensuring convenience without compromising care quality.
Child Psychology
Child-focused psychology addresses behavioural issues, anxiety, and trauma in young clients through age-appropriate therapeutic methods. We collaborate with families to develop tailored strategies for gentle intervention, supporting emotional development while accommodating potential mobility or transportation challenges through home visit options.
Depression Counselling
Specialised depression counselling combines CBT and mindfulness techniques to help clients manage persistent low mood and motivation struggles. Our approach focuses on identifying negative thought patterns while developing practical coping mechanisms, with flexible session formats accommodating clients' lifestyle and accessibility requirements.
Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy addresses communication breakdowns, attachment issues, and conflict resolution for couples and families. Sessions explore dynamics contributing to relationship dissatisfaction while fostering healthier interaction patterns. The therapeutic process incorporates both individual and joint sessions to address interpersonal challenges comprehensively.

Questions
Is online therapy as effective as face-to-face sessions?
Research confirms online therapy provides comparable outcomes to in-person sessions, particularly with established therapists. Our practice maintains therapeutic continuity through secure video platforms while offering greater accessibility.
Can I claim sessions through private health insurance?
While we don't process insurance claims directly, we provide receipts containing necessary details for potential reimbursement through major private health providers covering psychological services.
How do home visits differ from clinic sessions?
Home visits follow the same therapeutic framework but incur additional travel costs based on location. They're particularly recommended for clients with mobility challenges or young children requiring contextualised support.
What therapeutic approaches do you prioritise?
We integrate trauma-informed care with AIT, CBT, and mindfulness techniques, adapting our approach to individual client needs while maintaining evidence-based practice standards.
What are your cancellation policies?
We request 24-hour notice for cancellations to avoid full session charges, understanding that emergencies may occasionally require last-minute rescheduling at short notice.
How do you ensure confidentiality with online sessions?
All online platforms use end-to-end encryption with GDPR-compliant security measures. We also provide guidance on creating private spaces for sessions within home environments.
