Colette Scott

I currently have availability for face-to-face sessions in practice rooms in Brighton BN1 and Hove BN3.

We can all have times when life is difficult, confusing, painful. We can feel stuck, or rushed, or lost, perhaps - overwhelmed by current challenges or past struggles. Counselling can provide a point of pause - an opportunity to reflect, to make better sense of deeply-felt personal experiencing, and to connect with what it means to be you.

As a humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor, I feel strongly that everyone has worth - valuing you as an individual, and your lived experiences as unique. I offer a collaborative approach to therapy - two human beings working together - and practise relationally, creatively, and holistically to support the meaningful change you seek.

Coming from a background in accessible education, advocacy, and communications, I draw on my breadth and depth of professional and personal experience within diverse communities - and feel passionately that the therapeutic space allows for all voices, all stories to be heard. I see it as my position not to advise or to find ‘quick fixes’; rather, I aim to encourage an affirming, inclusive, non-judgemental space, and warmly invite you to bring whatever thoughts, feelings, and emotions might arise in the moment - hopeful that every part of you can feel welcome and accepted. Building on a shared sense of trust and safety, we can work together, and at your pace, to carefully explore the ways you relate to yourself, to others and to the wider world - as you consider what is still useful, and what no longer serves you.

Whilst there are aspects of our lives that we cannot change, I believe that with fresh insight and greater self-awareness there is the possibility of moving forwards with a renewed sense of agency, freedom and fulfilment.

Throughout this process, my intention is to be alongside you with kindness, curiosity, and heartfelt compassion.

I offer face-to-face counselling in professional practice rooms in Brighton and Hove.

Each session is for 50 minutes, and costs £60.

Our sessions can be for an open-ended period, or focused within a fixed time frame - whichever way you find works well for you.

Training, qualifications, and experience:

Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy Postgraduate Diploma (with Distinction), University of Brighton.

British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Registered Member MÂ鶹ԭ´´ (no. 415016), practising in accordance with the Â鶹ԭ´´ Ethical Framework - putting clients first.

Alongside my private practice, I work within the NHS, supporting staff.

I receive regular supervision, and am committed to continuing my professional development to inform and enrich best practice.

Other professional qualifications:

Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), University of Sussex.

I appreciate how choosing your therapist is an important and deeply-personal decision.

Hoping to help, I offer an initial 20-minute telephone consultation, without charge: an opportunity for us to connect - for me to hear what is bringing you to counselling right now, for you to ask any questions you might have about the process, and for us both to get a sense of how we might work together going forward.

If you would like to book an introductory call, do please get in touch via email so we can arrange a suitable time to discuss your needs.
