Kosi Mahdi-Millot

Hi, I'm Kosi (koh-zee),

I am a psychodynamic therapist, offering psychotherapy from a comfortable room in Hove and online.

Here, you will find an inclusive, confidential space for you to speak openly and honestly about whatever comes to mind, without judgement. Uncovering and talking about our feelings can be challenging and take time. I have a gentle and supportive approach, meaning that you will have someone in your corner along the way, and we will work at your pace. My practice welcomes and celebrates diversity. I work from a queer-affirming, neuroaffirming and intercultural standpoint.

I believe that therapy is a relational and collaborative process and that it is important that you have a good fit with your therapist to be able to work together towards making lasting change. 

I generally work with young adults and millennials, including couples. However, whether you are an old soul or young at heart, I have experience working with people from many walks of life. 

Together, clients and I have explored a range of difficulties, with a particular focus on relationship difficulties (friendships, familial, romantic) and finding their authentic selves.

My training is in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy, which has a focus on helping us understand our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours through the lens of our past experiences and unconscious. This way, we may find potential links between past and present, offering a different perspective and meaning to our experiences and relationships. I generally work on a long-term basis, allowing time for in-depth work. 

I hold a Master's in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Certificate in Working with Couples and Relationships.

I work with individuals and couples (monogamous and ethically non-monogamous).

I am based in Hove and have some online sessions available.

I would like to offer you an initial 15 minute telephone conversation free of charge. This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you might have and to for us to see how we might work together. If we feel like we would like to meet after this, we can arrange a time to meet for an initial 50 minute session.

In this first session, we would have a more in-depth conversation about what brings you to therapy. We may begin to explore your past and present experiences and difficulties. I would invite you to share what you hope for from therapy, share more about how I work and welcome any questions you may have.

Finding the right therapist can take time and we may decide to meet for a number of initial sessions before deciding whether to commit to regular sessions.

If you would like to explore working together, please get in touch and I will respond within two working days.
