Paul Chantry

We often try to manage things on our own, but there can come a point when it feels important to reach out for support. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off your thoughts. Maybe you are experiencing sadness, hopelessness, low self-esteem, or carrying painful memories from the past. Or perhaps you and your partner are struggling with difficulties in your relationship. Whatever you are feeling, you are not alone. I offer a warm, confidential and supportive space where individuals and couples can talk openly, explore what's happening, and begin to make sense of their thoughts, feelings and experiences. I work from a private and comfortable therapy room in Hove, where you can feel safe to talk without judgement or pressure. I am a qualified counsellor and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), with extensive experience of supporting people with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, childhood trauma and relationship difficulties. I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I draw upon a range of therapeutic approaches, enabling me to tailor the therapy to your individual needs. I believe that feeling genuinely heard and understood is an important part of the therapeutic process. My approach is warm, grounded and collaborative, and I work at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we can explore what's happening in your life, make sense of past experiences where helpful, and find ways of moving forward. If you've never had counselling before then finding the right therapist can feel confusing or intimidating, so I am happy to offer a free 20-minute phone or video consultation where you can tell me a little about what's bringing you to counselling, and get a sense of whether I feel like the right therapist for you.
