Where do local people turn to for counselling or psychotherapy?

We are in a time when mental health is increasingly recognised as one of the most debilitating illnesses that causes immense distress to many people

At a recent meeting the question of how a person would go about locating a counselling therapist was raised? For many individuals it is such huge step to take, firstly to recognise that there is a problem, then to take steps actively seek help. But where should a person begin?

It is estimated that of those individuals who approach their GP, relatively few actually receive counselling. Many people express dismay at having to wait for lengthy periods only to be rationed into a few sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy.

There is generally a waiting list for over six months to see an NHS psychologist. This is unhelpful as the problem is here-and-now. Sussex counselling can provide immediate access to therapeutic intervention, helping people find strategies to reduce their symptoms in the present, not some time in the distant future

 

East Sussex counselling are currently receiving clients from, Hastings, Bexhill, Icklesham, Fairlight, Winchelsea, St Leonards, Robertsbridge, Brede, Guestling.
