Louise Dale

I have availability to see clients in Hove (BN3), Eastbourne (BN22) and online.

I am a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor with NHS experience. I offer a warm, safe and confidential space in which you can explore what feels most important to you and whatever might be troubling you. I know that life can be difficult and distressing and that being human can feel complex and complicated. At times we may experience loneliness, pain, anxiety, trauma, despair, isolation, loss, ‘stuck-ness’, or a lack of connection. Sometimes we suffer and cannot explain or reason why.

As a therapist I utilise concepts, skills and techniques from a wide range of theories and teachings. My work is grounded in trauma informed practice and rooted in kindness.

Primarily guided by you, we will dialogue and explore your present experiences, poignant memories, thoughts, feelings and dreams. I hope to help you feel a greater sense of ease and confidence in your mind and in your body as you navigate the ever-changing world we live in.

In our work together, I might explore with you the ways in which culture, race, society, and family have shaped your ‘sense of self’ and feelings of belonging. Experience has taught me that throughout our lives we can easily become disconnected from who we are. I value your worth and know that therapy offers the potential to restore what might have been lost and open new possibilities. 

Before training as a counsellor, I worked as a primary school teacher for many years in a number of different countries and have significant experience of building relationships with people of all ages and facilitating growth.

 I would love to hear from you.

I offer face-to-face therapeutic counselling to clients in Hove and Eastbourne. I also work online. Each session is 50 minutes long, and costs £60. 

It is entirely up to you how long we work together. I usually recommend a minimum of six sessions but we can discuss this in our first session and review the work regularly. If you felt the work was coming to an end, I would ask you to give at least one week’s notice so we could work towards an ending together.

Training, qualifications, and experience:

Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy Postgraduate Diploma, University of Brighton.

Developing a Therapeutic Relationship and Counselling Skills (Level 6) - University of Brighton

British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Registered Member MBACP (no. 414653)

Other professional qualifications:

If you would like to see if we might be a good fit, please get in touch via email and we can arrange an initial 30 minute session online - without charge. I would ask some questions about your current situation and about your background and give you the opportunity to ask any questions. After our first session you can decide if you wish to continue working together.
