Beckie Dell

I’m Beckie, the founder of Root and Rise Counselling, offering professional counselling across East Sussex and online throughout the UK. I offer a supportive and empathetic environment that prioritises your emotional well-being.

I work with both adults and children (8 yrs+) in a calm, grounded, and relational way, including children's counselling tailored to individual needs, face-to-face and online. I believe in the power of being truly heard—without judgment, pressure, or agenda.

As a person-centred, integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of you or your child. I work deeply with neurodivergent clients and anyone seeking a space to feel more like themselves, including those looking for teen-centred counselling.

My Values:

• Creative & Adaptive – Therapy that meets you where you’re at

• Safe & Trauma-Informed – Gently holding your lived experiences

• Affirming & Inclusive – Celebrating neurodiversity and difference

I use creative methods to help emotions surface when words fail. This approach accesses unconscious parts of the self, encourages insight, and supports emotional regulation.

For neurodivergent clients, including those with autism, ADHD, AuDHD, sensory sensitivities, and PDA profiles, I provide tailored counselling that honours your unique needs—this is not a one-size-fits-all approach. You won’t be asked to ‘fit in’ or ‘change’ who you are.

Specialised Teen Counselling and Children's Counselling, ensuring a supportive environment for all ages.

Common Issues:

• Emotional regulation & anxiety

• School avoidance, social difficulties

• Sensory sensitivity or meltdowns

• Family transitions, grief or loss

• Support for neurodivergent clients, including those with autism or ADHD, AuDHD, PDA (diagnosed or self-identified)

Finding the right therapist matters, which is why I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call. This no-obligation call gives you the chance to see if we’re a good fit and to discuss your needs, whether you’re seeking individual counselling, support for children or teens, or neurodivergent-affirming counselling.

We can also talk about your goals and suitable appointment options in Eastbourne or online. Ongoing sessions are 50 minutes at £60.
