Hilary Tibble

I offer daytime and evening sessions.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside—but inside, things feel overwhelming, stuck, or hard to make sense of.

Perhaps you’re dealing with anxiety that won’t switch off, low mood that keeps returning, or something that’s happened—recently or years ago—that still affects how you feel, think, or relate to others. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling on edge, struggling with confidence, or repeating patterns in relationships that you don’t fully understand.

I work with adults who want more than just a space to talk—they want to understand what’s going on and begin to feel different.

Together, we can gently explore what’s behind these feelings, whether that’s something current or rooted in past experiences. Where appropriate, I integrate approaches such as EMDR to help process difficult or distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming and have less impact on your day-to-day life.

Clients often come to me feeling stuck, and over time begin to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of themselves and their choices.

I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly at your own pace. Some clients come for a short period to work through a specific issue, while others choose longer-term therapy to explore deeper patterns.

I am an Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist & Supervisor with almost 20 years’ experience, working with adults across a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, and relationship issues.

Sessions are available in person (in Eastbourne town centre with good transport links and parking) or online via Zoom, including some flexible appointment times.

Before we meet, I offer an initial telephone consultation where we can talk through what you’re looking for and ensure my approach is suitable for your requirements. This call is free of charge and usually lasts around 20-30 minutes.

I'm based in Eastbourne town centre in an alternative-health clinic. The clinic is close to the railway station and the main bus stops in town. Parking is on-street pay and display or in the town centre car parks. 

Supervisor for Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Allied Health Professionals. I follow Hawkins & Shohet's 7-eyed model.

My goal as a supervisor is to develop and maintain best professional practice for supervisees. Supervision is also to ensure the well-being and resilience for the practitioner as well as to develop self-confidence and self-awareness.

My training ensures that I am can work with individuals or groups from a range of professional backgrounds.
