Paul Chantry

We often think that we can manage on our own, but there comes a point when we need to reach out and seek support. Perhaps you are feeling anxious or depressed? Maybe you are finding life overwhelming or have a sense of sadness, hopelessness and despair? Or maybe you are feeling angry and frustrated? If you are experiencing any of these emotions then counselling can really help you to make sense of things, better understand yourself, and overcome the issues which are causing you distress. I am a qualified counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I have experience of helping people who suffer with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, self-harm, relationship and family conflict.  If you’ve never had counselling before then finding the right therapist can be confusing and intimidating, so it’s important that you take time to find the right therapist for you. Please don't hesitate to contact me for a free initial telephone consultation so that I can find out a bit more about what's troubling you and we can explore how I can help.

I work with adults in the Brighton and Hove area and have experience of helping people who suffer with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, abuse, bereavement, relationship, stress and work related issues.

I am an integrative counsellor which means that I use elements of different therapeutic approaches to help you explore the issues which are causing you distress. My core training is Person-centred but I am also a qualified CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) therapist, and I use a blended approach to help you to understand the underlying issues which are causing you pain and develop new perspectives.
