Carly Lacey

I have availability on Monday late afternoon/evenings

I am an experienced and qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and I work with adults over 18. I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space for you to talk through your difficulties. I believe everyone has the right to feel heard and I aim to work alongside you and empower you to be the version of yourself you want to be. I believe that by developing a secure relationship, we can work together to understand and address some of your difficulties in order for you to feel more confident, gain self-awareness and feel more able to cope.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and adjustment amongst other things. I also have further training and experience working with people who are autistic or ADHD. You may have a diagnosis, are self-diagnosed, or you may be in the process of exploring this and would like a space to reflect on it further and how it impacts you. I can offer a non-judgmental and accepting space to explore and reflect on this.

The way in which I work is rooted within the psychodynamic approach, which means that I believe that our past has an impact on our present, including unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours that we may not be aware of. I also have further training in CBT skills and Person-Centred counselling. This means I will work alongside you, at your own pace and in a way that you feel is right for you, I will give you the space to bring what you feel you need to each session, whilst also considering you, your relationships, and your life as a whole to try and make sense of the current difficulties. I will gently challenge you if it’s appropriate and I invite you to share with me if you would like things to be different. It’s important we can both be honest and open with each other.

Currently, I am working face to face in Worthing and online in the UK and offer short and long-term counselling. If you would like to discuss your options, or are unsure, please feel free to contact me to discuss things further. I will aim to get back to you within 48 hours.

Once you have contacted me for counselling, we can set up a free 10 minute introductory call to discuss availability and to see if I am the right counsellor for you. We can then set up an initial consultation which costs £45 and lasts for 50 minutes. This is a chance for us to get to know each other further and to see if counselling is the right option for you.
