In Person Counselling in Eastbourne

Hello & welcome to my profile. As a Person-Centred Experiential counsellor, I firmly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship & the importance of providing an empathic, safe & non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, & experiences. The client is always at the heart of the counselling process, & I am committed to supporting you to gain self-awareness, improve your psychological wellbeing & reach your full potential - sharing your journey towards healing & self-discovery. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) & follow their ethical code.

I offer individual one to one counselling from a comfortable, welcoming space in Eastbourne. I have experience working with people who have a wide range of mental health difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Furthermore, you may be experiencing relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, isolation or anger for example. You may feel something is not right, but unsure what this is. Through a process of exploration, counselling can help you to gain greater understanding of whatever difficulties you may be facing, helping to increase your self-awareness.

18 years experience as a Psychotherapist. Online Counselling provided for those isolated at home. It’s very normal to need help when life is challenging or distressing. Such upsets might be because of loss, anxiety, depression or maybe due to childhood neglect, abuse or trauma. Some people simply want to learn more about themselves. Whatever the reason, counselling is a way to help you discover more of who you are, your resilience, find strength and determine a successful strategy that works for you.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in mental health, providing high-quality, evidence-based therapies to individuals and couples. In my private practice I offer assessments, therapy, and professional training. At Canterbury Christchurch University, I teach and develop courses on therapy for long-term health issues. My advanced training includes CBT, EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy, ACT, and Emotion Focused Therapy. I have led NHS services for heart conditions, diabetes, neurological disorders, and workplace stress, and am dedicated to advancing mental health care through education and service development.

I warmly welcome you to this space. I specialise in empowering women, girls, and female content creators/media influencers to overcome self-esteem issues, social comparison, and low self-efficacy. My clients include adolescent girls, new mums, and women navigating various life stages. Through personalised strategies and talking therapy, I help them build resilience, confidence, and authenticity. Whether facing the pressures of social media or striving for personal and professional growth, we work together to cultivate a positive self-image and a foundation

Do you need an opportunity to help process your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental, confidential environment? I can offer you a warm, confidential and trusting relationship. Although what distresses you is the most important factor, I will also discuss with you your lifestyle, health, sleep patterns and other aspects, such as relaxation techniques. Whatever the situation take your first step whether you are anxious, depressed, grieving or feeling bad about yourself. You are the real expert in what is going on for you and what you need. I am here to support you and together we can work through your concerns. ​

You've found your way here, welcome. We can struggle tremendously in trying to contend with life’s challenges alone. As daunting as it can sometimes feel, asking for support can feel freeing in itself. I’m yet to know exactly what has brought you here but I trust you are here for a reason. Maybe you are feeling disconnected from yourself, experiencing relationship difficulties, or going through huge changes. Our reasons for seeking counselling support may differ but we all want to feel heard, valued and appreciated in who we are and what we have to share and that is what I trust you will feel in the space I am offering you.

We all experience times in our lives which feel overwhelming. It may be the constant dread that comes with anxiety, the inability to feel and pleasure in life because of depression you feel in the grip of a controlling behaviour. Whatever is dominating your life and draining it of pleasure, you can change things. I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist and hypnotherapist I can help free you from this pain.

Each person looking for counselling is unique and individual in their process. Therefore in order for you to feel safe in exploring personal challenges and difficulties, it is important that you feel connected and accepted without any judgement at all. Working together we can facilitate a space unique to your needs and develop a trusting and safe relationship. I offer a place where you can feel fully heard to take the courageous steps in exploring life events, inner challenges, worries, fears, hopes and dreams.

If you decide to work with me it will be rather like setting out on a journey together. On that journey I’ll be your fellow traveller, companion and guide. Whether or not your reason for coming to see me is an external situation that’s impacting your life, a key part of our time together will be to explore your inner world. As we explore that world together you may develop greater insight into patterns of thought and behaviour that served you once but now limit you; you may find alternative ways of approaching difficulties; you may discover a way of being in the world that is more in tune with who you truly are.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I follow the ethical guidelines of the association, and strive to ensure the best possible outcome for all of my clients. I have experience working with those who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal thoughts. I also have experience working with those who are facing big or potentially big changes in their lives – through retirement, career changes, health issues and relationship challenges.

Welcome to my counselling and psychotherapy private practice. I work in 2 practices - Wallington and Eastbourne surrey. Online, around the UK and internationally. www.zoomcounsellor.com www.integrativecounsellor.com

Our lives are defined by the stories we tell ourselves. I help people who want to examine their lives and understand why they are the way they are. My clients are often people who struggle with their sense of self, who feel lost, troubled, and like they don't know how to be in the world.

Hi a warm welcome! Life can be really trying at times, when we don't know where to go or what to do, but you are not alone. You have just taken the bravest first step, to help you find the support and tools needed to help and empower you on the journey towards healing. I am able to support adults, children and young people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, grief or loss, abuse, relationship issues, trauma, low self-esteem and confidence and OCD. Whatever has brought you to counselling, we will travel together, at your pace, working to achieve the goals you set.

Hi there, Are you feeling the stresses of Covid 19? Does life feel hard to deal with right now? I'm Sonia Stiles and I am a trained Counselling Therapist with 14 years of experience. As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), I work within the BACP Ethical Framework of Data Protection and Confidentiality. I specialise in Couple Therapy and Family Therapy. I help you address any friction and arguing in relationships that pull people apart and cause more hurt and upset. I do this by looking at the individuals with a caring and nurturing approach to enable everyone to look at the bigger picture.

I feel very passionately about the positive effect that therapy can have upon peoples lives. Over the years I’ve worked with a range of challenges that people can experience. Working through pain or difficulties together is a process I find very rewarding. Often people will arrive being unsure what to expect and feeling apprehensive about what is to come. My approach is to create a welcoming, warm and confidential space where together we can gain an understanding of your situation. I am trained to draw from several therapeutic models so we can find a way forward that suits your preferences and goals for change.

You are probably struggling with something in your life which you have been unable to resolve yourself. This may be a relationship or sexual problem, anger issues, family problems, anxiety/depression or maybe just a feeling that something is missing in your life. You may have found that you haven't been able to come up with a solution and that talking to family or friends feels like you're burdening them or it is hard to get an objective perspective. Instead of feeling like you're going round in circles and repeating the same mistakes, you'd like to feel more free and empowered.

Deciding to get help is 50% of the solution! Finding the right therapist is the first and most important step. With the right therapist, you feel understood and safe to explore difficult issues. I am an empathic listener who can help you gain insight into your life. To make changes in your life, relationships, your job, or dealing with multiple issues such as depression and anxiety. I am committed to working with you to meet your unique needs and achieve your goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or depressed? Or maybe it’s difficult to identify exactly what you are feeling. Life can be a complex journey which can leave you feeling isolated and lonely as you navigate your way through. Whatever it is that is drawing you to choose counselling, I offer you a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore your challenges together. Through our sessions together, I aim to facilitate a space where you develop a better understanding of how to navigate your challenges, where resilience and self-esteem are increased and where you go on to live a more fulfilling life.
