Terry Browning

I usually work Mondays and Tuesdays from 9am to 7pm

I provide therapy for both individuals and couples in private sessions my private practice in Saltdean, near Brighton. I qualified in 2005 and additionally I also have over 40 years' experience as a mental health as a social worker.   I have recently retired from the NHS/Social Services mental health.

Going to talk to someone about distressing thoughts and feelings is a daunting experience and I hope my down to Earth and practical approach will assist in your feeling more comfortable to talk. I try to be as authentic as possible and have many years of relating to people in many situations of distress and discomfort. It's important you feel comfortable and safe with your counselor, so I propose an initial meeting to decide whether I am the right person for you is the first step, then we can decide together whether counselling is right for you and what to do next.

I welcome people of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent people, people of colour, disabled clients, and those from all faiths and cultures.

I work affirmatively with transgender clients and aim to offer a space where your identity will be respected and valued.

As a gay-identified therapist, I provide gay-affirmative and LGBTQ+ intersectional counselling. I offer a deeply understanding, non-judgmental space to explore identity, relationships, coming out, and minority stress. This means I don't just 'accept' your identity—I actively validate and celebrate it. In our work together, your sexuality is understood not as a problem to be solved, but as a core, healthy part of who you are, free from the subtle biases often found in traditional therapy.
