Male Counselling in Brighton, ENG

If you’re feeling sad, anxious or lost, struggling with relationships, or stuck in familiar negative patterns of thoughts or behaviour, please contact me to see how counselling can help.

You may be at a point in your life where you feel stuck, unable to clearly progress, and in need of honing your focus to move forward. You’re driven to make positive change and grow as an individual or in your discipline, but you’re not sure how to. I’m here as a personal trainer for your mind. I see athletes holistically where performance and achievement are just smaller aspects of a bigger, more important picture. Through my experience and training I know that if I help develop you as an individual, everything else follows.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor and Accredited/Registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and Prof/Accred member of NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). I am also a BUPA Recognised and Fee Assured Mental Health and Well-being Practitioner and registered as a Health Provider with Nuffield Health, Aviva, AXA PPP and Vitality. My work experience includes working with minority, multicultural, neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ clients and the provision of Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity (GSRD) affirmative therapy.

Hi, I'm Matt. You've taken a courageous and positive step in seeking a therapist to work with. It can be really nerve-wracking to find the strength to reach out and ask for support - I've certainly been there, and have been personally helped by counselling in my own life! I work with a range of issues, most notably anxiety, depression, stress, relationships & sexuality, addiction, coping with life changes and supporting people in finding more direction, purpose & fulfilment in their lives.

What if you accepted every part of yourself, even those you hide from the world? What might be possible? Modern life can be challenging, with its demands, expectations and technology, but self-discovery can lead to learning, growth and a greater sense of ease. I can be your calm companion as you explore the areas of life that need attention, helping you connect with others and feel more belonging. My approach is person-centred and acknowledges how childhood experiences shape our adulthood, so that therapy will partly involve coming to terms with the past and how it affects the present.

I’m a counselling therapist based in Hove, Brighton. I specialise in addiction but work with many other issues too including couples. We will explore & endeavour to shed new light on your way of being in the world, thus far, & how your past has informed your sense of self in the present & how you might want to enhance your life still further by bringing yourself out of the shadows & into the light? We don’t see the world as it is but as we; so who are we, really? I use “parts” work to free us to “Self-lead” to restore calmness; clarity; confidence; connectedness; compassion; courage; creativity; curiosity in & around us………………………

BSc (Hons), MBACP, fully insured with over 15 years experience. I'm open to working with all clients and issues (from 16 yrs upwards). If you're experiencing anxious and depressive states, relationships, problems in living, addictions/dependencies, loss and grief, or any other issues. Working from a humanistic base, I strive to work collaboratively, and as a witness and exploratory therapy partner, offering a very practical, non-judgemental, down-to-earth, affirmative, and caring approach within a confidential and safe therapeutic relationship, with gentle challenge, realistic considerations, and practical encouragement.

I specialise in providing evidence-based talking therapies for adults and older adults experiencing depression (low mood), anxiety, and stress. Having worked in mental health for over 8 years, I have experience providing therapy to people of all ages with varying levels of need. I provide structured talking therapies, with my approach particularly focussing on helping you understand why you feel the way you do, and how you can better manage the emotions you experience. I aim to do this in a safe and informal environment, providing a confidential space for you to discuss your wellbeing in a guided, structured way.

Hello! My name is Iain and I work as a counsellor on line and in person across Sussex in multiple locations. I have experience of working with all age groups including teens, young adults and mature clients. I am an integrative humanistic counsellor, with the ability (and experience) to pull on other modalities to support the journey of my clients whom I work with in a relaxed, non-judgemental and confidential environment. It is very much us the working together as a team. I have a strong belief in the long-term benefits of counselling and therapy and having experienced my own positive, personal journey.

Hello, I'm David, a relationship therapist, clinical sexologist and counsellor. I have experience working at leading UK sexual health organisations like 56 Dean Street and Controlling Chemsex. I also work with individuals on anxiety, OCD and depression. I help address a range of issues including sexual anxiety, erectile and ejaculation difficulties, problematic porn or sex use, attachment issues, kink, LGBTQ issues, Chemsex, sexual trauma, and living with STIs such as HIV. For couples, I offer therapy on infidelity, declining intimacy, alternative relationship structures and communication challenges.

I am an approachable and experienced therapist working with a broad spectrum of clients. My therapeutic approach is ‘Integrative’, meaning I use skills and theories from across the major modalities of Humanistic, Psychodynamic and CBT. I have a background in the charitable sector, working as a counsellor in community settings and in schools and colleges, and worked as a Youth Worker. I really value my clients and I am always accepting and non-judgemental, helping you feel safe throughout our work. I work with a collaborative and relational style, meaning our sessions will be conversational and I hope they’ll feel like teamwork.

I’m an experienced integrative therapist working with individuals struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship issues. You may feel that you are struggling with these issues alone and that you can’t talk to your partner, friends or family. You might worry that these issues keep repeating themselves and that you will always feel stuck. I work with clients to explore their current emotional concerns to understand underlying and often unseen issues. It is this process that opens up positive change.

Mike works with a broad range of psychosexual issues including low libido, unreliable erections, delayed ejaculation, as well as all aspects of anxiety surrounding sexuality. Aiming to create as positive an experience of sexuality as possible for his clients, he works within a Bio-psycho-social pluralistic approach, incorporating a broad range of theoretical approaches as best suits the client’s needs. He specialises and is particularly trained in supporting clients struggling with compulsive sexual behaviour, as well as those struggling with Chemsex issues, aiming to re-establish a fulfilling and healthy sex life for his clients .

As a retired firefighter and counsellor, I understand the importance of truly being understood, especially for those who have faced traumatic experiences. My extensive life experience allows me to connect deeply with clients who have been through similar trials. It's rare and liberating for them to find someone who genuinely 'gets it.' Accessibility is key; I simplify online sessions by sending a direct link, ensuring easy and effective communication. My approach provides a supportive space where clients feel seen and understood, aiding their healing process.

Many people have had an experience of therapy in the past and it has not produced the results they wanted. This in part can be due to the person going to see a therapist who is trained in one specific therapeutic modality (approach), who then tries to make the client fit that one approach. Collaboratively, we will work together to help you feel better, happier, more in control and confident in who you are as a person. As you begin to understand yourself and why you do things more, this will open you up to greater awareness in all parts of your life; home, work and relationships.

I firmly believe that we are fundamentally relational beings, ones that need security, understanding & care above all else. Real change comes not from trying to fix thinking patterns, self-concepts or the past, but in shifting relational dynamics in the here and now and finding new ways of being with another. This is what I focus on in therapy with my clients, and I draw on my background and experience in modern relational psychoanalysis, developmental theory, and in depth study of phenomenology & existential philosophy to look at what emerges and how that can inform meaningful change in your life.

I am a qualified experienced counsellor working with Adults and Children on a wide range of presenting issues. My aim is to create an environment where you can feel accepted, respected and safe to talk about whatever you want to, without feeling judged. I aim to understand you as if I am stepping into your shoes and seeing the world through your eyes.

Hi, I'm Toby, an integrative therapist supporting your journey. My sessions create a safe, welcoming space for you to open up at your own pace. I offer non-judgmental therapy, valuing each client as an individual. Expect gentle guidance and support as we explore past, present, or future concerns for inner clarity.

Sometimes we need help navigating life's challenges, and that’s where I come in. I am a BACP-Accredited therapist with a postgraduate diploma in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I have over ten years of experience in the field of mental health, seven as a counsellor and psychotherapist. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, tell your story, deepen your awareness, and experiment with saying, feeling, and doing what you may have struggled to before. As an LGBTQ+ therapist, respect for difference & diversity is at the heart of my work. Visit my website to read more and book a £30 consultation: www.brighton-therapist.com
