Internet Addiction Therapists in Brighton & Hove

Understanding Internet Addiction

Internet addiction is characterized by excessive use of the internet, often to the detriment of daily life, relationships, and mental well-being. Individuals with internet addiction may spend an excessive amount of time on social media, gaming, or browsing, leading to social isolation, neglect of responsibilities, and mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression.

The Role of Counselling in Treating Internet Addiction

Therapy provides individuals with tools to regain control over their internet usage and establish healthier digital habits. Counsellors work with individuals to identify the emotional triggers behind excessive internet use and develop strategies for reducing screen time and improving emotional well-being.

Developing Healthier Digital Habits

Through therapy, individuals learn to create boundaries around internet usage, allowing them to engage with the digital world in a healthier and more balanced way. Counselling also helps individuals address the emotional challenges, such as loneliness or boredom, that may drive excessive internet use.

Improving Relationships and Daily Life

Therapy focuses on rebuilding relationships that may have been neglected due to internet addiction. Counsellors help individuals restore their connections with loved ones and improve their overall quality of life by promoting balance between online and offline activities.

Cerrie Lantrua Brighton

Cerrie Lantrua

Counsellor

Clients often tell me how much they value having a space where they feel understood, where they don’t have to explain their neurodivergence or justify their experiences.I am neurodivergent myself, and I’m open about that. It’s not something I see as a limitation, but as something that shapes how I understand, relate, and connect. Alongside my training and experience, this gives me a way of seeing things that often helps clients feel recognised in ways they may not have experienced before.I’m naturally creative and tend to think outside the box, which allows me to consider different perspectives and gently step into what it might be like to be you, not from a place of judgement, but from a genuine willingness to understand.At the same time, I don’t assume your experience is the same as anyone else’s. No two people are the same. A big part of what I offer is taking the time to learn what you need, how you experience things, and what support feels right for you.You are the expert on yourself. My role isn’t to tell you what to do or who to be, but to walk alongside you as you begin to understand yourself more fully.I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to be real. Where you don’t have to mask, filter, or find the “right” way to say things. A space where you can feel seen, heard, and genuinely understood.
