Money Therapists in Brighton & Hove

Understanding Financial Stress and Mental Health

Financial stress is a significant source of anxiety for many people, affecting both mental health and overall well-being. Concerns about debt, income, or financial security can lead to feelings of fear, helplessness, and even depression. The emotional toll of financial stress can also affect relationships and daily functioning.

The Role of Counselling in Managing Financial Stress

Counselling helps individuals and couples address the emotional and psychological effects of financial stress. Therapy provides tools for managing anxiety, developing healthier financial habits, and improving communication around money issues. Counsellors also help individuals explore the emotional triggers behind financial behaviors, such as overspending or avoidance.

Building Financial Resilience

Through therapy, individuals can develop resilience in the face of financial challenges. Counselling offers strategies for setting realistic financial goals, managing debt, and building a more positive relationship with money.

Improving Relationships and Communication

Tony Austin

Integrative psychotherapist

Common feelings such as anxiety, a lack of self-worth or sadness colour our experience and often leave us feeling we have lost our way. Sometimes we can feel like our own worst enemy, giving ourselves a hard time because others can manage, so why can’t I?I chose to train as a psychotherapist after being in therapy myself. Through the process of talking with a skilled therapist I was able to reflect on how my past had shaped my present, understand myself better, value myself more and create a happier, more fulfilled life and I want to help others do the same. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than having a client say they feel “unburdened” at the end of a session or, at their final session, seeing them leave with greater confidence ready to make the changes necessary to create the life they want.After completing my training as a counsellor at Lambeth College, I worked for an NHS counselling service in West London. I helped many clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown and many other common issues and seeing so many people find positive solutions fuelled my passion for therapy and I would like to help you. I believe everyone deserves to be heard and with the right support can create positive, lasting change. Through our work together, I can help you reduce anxiety, rebuild your confidence, learn how to recognise unhelpful habits such as “people pleasing”, or “self-sabotage” and create better relationships with yourself and others.If you want to learn more about how counselling can help you, get in touch through the link at the bottom of this page and take the first step to happier, more fulfilling life.
