David Ewins

I am a Psychosynthesis therapist—an integrative therapy combining psychodynamic & transpersonal psychotherapy—working with your immediate challenges and also connecting with your deeper potential, sense of meaning, and personal growth.

My fee is on a sliding scale from £55-£70 per 50min session for individuals (to include concessionary spaces).

I work with people from all walks of life, supporting them through their hardships and challenges while honouring their unique strengths, qualities, and potential for growth.

While I support clients with a wide range of concerns, my practice focuses particularly on relationship issues, adverse childhood experiences, and loss. I also regularly work with anxiety and depression, identity (including LGBT+), and existential questions around meaning and purpose.

I offer short-term & longer, open-ended psychotherapy & counselling, for individuals in-person (in Lewes & London Bridge), & online.

In our work together, we may look back at childhood and past experiences to make sense of your current challenges and understand where outdated patterns of behaviour originated. Alongside this, we will hold space for curiosity about the future: What might be emerging out of this challenging time? What new possibilities, meaning, and purpose are waiting to be discovered?

Whatever brings you to therapy, feeling safe, accepted, and truly listened to is essential. The collaborative relationship we build will be the foundation of our work together. With warmth, compassion, and professional commitment, my aim is to support you in facing what feels difficult to navigate alone, helping you find the positive change you seek.

Alongside traditional talking therapy, I work experientially where appropriate and beneficial for you. This can include simple, creative techniques—such as guided imagery, visualisation, and drawing—to help broaden your self-understanding, connect with your inner wisdom, and support your personal growth.

In our first session, we will explore what has brought you to therapy, as well as your hopes, expectations, and any concerns you might have about the process. We will also take a brief personal history to help me gain a fuller picture of your life and how I can best support you. You are always in control of what you share, and there is never any pressure to answer questions you aren't ready or comfortable discussing.

If we both feel we can work well together, we will agree on how to move forward. This often involves an initial agreement of six sessions, after which we will review our progress. Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, which naturally takes time to develop. You are under no obligation to continue beyond the first session and can end therapy at any time.

Whether you are seeking longer-term or brief support, I offer private, one-on-one sessions for adults. My warm and empathetic approach is dedicated to creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and valued. Our collaborative work will focus on exploring what you truly want from your life and help empower you to achieve it.

Some of the issues a client might bring include:

• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Obsessive thoughts
• Work stress
• Depression
• Sadness and grief
• Low self-esteem and low self-confidence
• Relationship difficulties
• LGBT+ and sexuality issues
• Trauma
• Childhood issues
• Loss of meaning in life
• Personal growth and development

Sessions are usually for 50 minutes and held at the same time and day each week. We can discuss your specific needs in our initial sessions.

In our first session we will begin to explore what has brought you to therapy, as well as your hopes and expectations. We can also discuss any concerns you might have about the process. There is no obligation to continue after this session.

If we both feel we can work together, we will decide how to proceed. This will often involve agreeing to six sessions, at which point we will review how the work is going.

Therapy is a collaborative process and trust is crucial to this. As with any relationship this takes time to develop.
