Lou
Hey, I’m Lou (she/her), a person-centred counsellor offering face-to-face sessions in Hankham, near Eastbourne, as well as online and telephone counselling.
You don’t need to arrive knowing what to say. You might have a list, lots of questions, or no idea where to begin. You can laugh, cry, swear, lose your train of thought or take a while to find your words. We’ll start wherever you are.
I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties, stress, health challenges or a feeling that life has become too much. My approach is person-centred, which means I won’t tell you what to do or expect you to fit a particular way of doing therapy. I’ll get to know you and work at a pace that feels right for you.
I’m particularly passionate about neurodivergent-affirming counselling. If you’re autistic, have ADHD or are exploring whether you might be neurodivergent, there’s no expectation to sit still, make eye contact or explain yourself perfectly. We can adapt our sessions around how you communicate and what helps you feel comfortable.
I’m a mum of two, and I know how easily your own needs can get lost among everything you’re carrying for other people. Our sessions are time for you.
I’m a registered member of the BACP and trained in suicide awareness through the Orange Button scheme. Sessions are £45 for 50 minutes, and I offer a free 15-minute phone call if you’d like to ask questions before booking. I’m available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Come as you are. We’ll work out the rest together.
My primary focuses include:
Humanistic / Person Centred
My primary approach is Person-Centred counselling, a humanistic form of therapy that focuses on your unique experience and how you understand yourself.
As a person-centred therapist in East Sussex, I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Rather than analysing or diagnosing, I work alongside you to help you make sense of what’s going on in a way that feels right for you.
I support adults (18+) with anxiety, overwhelm, low mood, life changes, and feeling stuck, both online and face-to-face in Eastbourne, Pevensey, and across East Sussex.
My approach is neurodivergent-affirming and relational, meaning I adapt to you. Some people want space simply to talk, while others find it helpful to include gentle structure or practical tools, we can work in a way that suits you.
