About

What if the story of the life that you are living is not the one you expected for yourself? What if you are finding yourself dealing with circumstances that you feel are beyond your control, or facing difficulties and challenges that are limiting you and preventing you from a more spontaneous, intimate and satisfying life? Is it time to re-write your story and start a new chapter?

We have a number of experienced, accredited and fully insured clinicians offering a range of psychological services – psychotherapy, counselling, supervision and coaching - to individuals, couples, families and groups. We are conveniently placed at 5 the Drive in Hove BN3 3JE. Please look at the individual profiles to find out more an either contact that person directly or use the general enquiries form for further information.

If you are unsure about the process or which therapist to choose, we invite you to book an appointment through our referral service. This is a 50-minute session that will give you the opportunity to talk with someone in confidence about what has been concerning you and us the opportunity to see which approach and which person might best suit you.

You are probably here because you are looking for some support around a problem or a relationship. You may be looking to find some answers or find a qualified professional you feel you can trust with your story. I was once in the same position and decided to seek help from a professional counsellor. It had a profound effect on me and sowed the seeds of my decision to train to become a counsellor myself.

Louise Herbert

Counsellor
Dip.Couns.

I have experience helping people to better understand themselves. You may be feeling stuck, that you are not living the life you want to live, or that your life is being limited in some way by past events or present circumstances and have anxiety that you don’t feel in control of your own life.

Making the decision to come to counselling or psychotherapy can be difficult. You might be unsure of what to expect, and I understand that making that first contact can be daunting. I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgement. Together, we can move to a better understanding of what you feel is holding you back from living the life you want to live.
