Anxiety Counselling in Hove
I have many years of experience working with those suffering from anxiety, stress & burnout, low self-esteem, as well as those who are encountering problems in their relationships or career.
Many people find themselves continually repeating familiar patterns of behaviour and attracting the same problems in their lives. If this has been your cycle, you are not alone, and it is ok to ask for support. Many clients come to me because they have a desire to change yet have been able to make these changes themselves. I have no magical ability to heal anyone or change their life, however I can help you to process how you are feeling, help you to find new perspectives, and can pass on insights and concepts that may help to make sense of your problems, so you can develop the capacity to become your own healer.

Sometimes we need a space to make sense of the world, to understand or learn more about ourselves and process our experiences. My approach is grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity to heal given an environment and support that feels attuned to the needs of the individual. Whether you are navigating difficult and persistent negative thoughts and experiences, feeling anxious, sad, overwhelmed, stuck, depressed or want to get to know yourself deeper. I offer a safe and confidential space to understand and learn more about yourself, process experiences and improve your relationships.

Sometimes in life we experience difficult changes and may struggle with anxiety and or depression. This can often be overwhelming and very difficult to overcome. Counselling can help us to explore these difficulties and gain deeper understanding. Therapy requires investment from me, as the therapist, and you the client, to foster an environment where healing can take place. Sometimes this takes time, and may not be easy, however, I will be with you all the way.

Hello! You might be here because you are suffering with anxiety or depression, have experienced trauma or abuse, or are struggling with low self-esteem or stress. These are all things we can work on together in therapy. I have worked with many clients with ADHD, autism and other diagnoses who worry that they won't be understood in therapy. It is important to me that my practice is welcoming to neurodiverse individuals and other marginalised groups such as global majority and LGBTQIA+ folks. I am an intersectional feminist and part of the queer community, and strive to work in an anti-racist way.

In my early 20's I suffered from depression & anxiety, so I know how debilitating it can be.
As an integrative psychotherapist (BACP accredited) and EMDR therapist, I draw on a combination of different approaches, so that the therapy is tailored to each client's individual needs. Clearly professional qualifications & experience are important, but I also place great value on the healing nature of the relationship between client and therapist. Therapy is a collaborative process & I believe that building trust, feeling understood & in charge of decision & choice making within the process are all key aspects of the counselling journey for clients.

Hi, I'm Julie. Since 2013, I’ve worked with people from all over the world to offer a warm, reflective space where they can build the tools they need to live more fully. Typically, my trauma informed and integrative approach helps people move forward with challenges such as: - Anxiety and depression - ADHD - Hypersensitivity - Bipolar disorders - any feelings of difference rooted in neurodivergence - co-dependency, emotional or physical abuse, anger management professional or interpersonal struggles. Therapy is ultimately about both healing and better understanding yourself, and using that understanding to enhance your life.

You may want to talk about anxiety, addiction or depression; you may be looking to cope with some life event such as a bereavement, divorce, redundancy or a relationship problem; or you might be feeling stuck in a rut and that you want more out of life. You will be able to explore what might lie behind the feelings you're experiencing, or what might lie behind certain thoughts or behaviours that you're not finding helpful. All these things can be helped and supported by talking confidentially.

CBT works with thoughts and behaviours as implied by its name and is very effective in treating anxiety, panic and many more in a relatively short term.
No matter what brings you to therapy, it is important. You might be finding that distressing thoughts or feelings are getting in the way. Or perhaps you experience numerous unpleasant physical symptoms. Emotional response is a normal response, but understandably, it can be unpleasant, and might feel uncertain what to do when it happens. Sometimes we all need a bit support and guidance; we don't have to deal with everything on our own, especially when it gets tough. I offer evidence-based therapies within a context of kind, supportive therapeutic relationship. I currently work for mental health organizations and in private practice.

Anxiety Counsellors
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
