Counselling in Brighton
My name is Tim Pike. I am a BACP accredited counsellor. I qualified in 2008. I was awarded senior accreditation in 2018. I work from my private practice in central Brighton.
I provide counselling in Brighton to adults on a one-to-one basis. I offer sessions for £125 both in person and by video.
Moving from Heaviness to Clarity
When you are at the end of your tether, life feels incredibly heavy. Whether you are navigating the relentless pressures of family, work, and relationships, or feeling stuck in a cycle of frustration, anxiety, and isolation, it is easy to lose your sense of purpose. You might feel unappreciated, disconnected, or simply want to escape.
Therapy is a space to discharge those unwanted feelings so you might live a lighter, brighter day-to-day life. Our work together is designed to move towards a sharper knowledge of how you operate, allowing you to manage life’s challenges with more confidence and anticipate old pitfalls. Together, we could raise your self-worth, reclaim your vitality, and aim to restore a deeper sense of inner calm, clarity, and true belonging.
My approach to counselling
The process is grounded in a simple, supportive structure. You are invited to speak about whatever is on your mind; I have found that even the most spontaneous or unexpected topics can often lead us to the most essential insights.
The work relies on a weekly momentum. This consistent rhythm allows the progress we make together to settle and continue evolving in your daily life between our sessions.
Your First Session
Our initial 50-minute meeting is an opportunity for us to experience working together. It is a space to discuss your needs and determine if I am the right person to support you.
The Duration of Therapy
We will work together each week until you feel you have reached the right point to finish. For some, this may be after a few sessions; for others, long-term work provides the most benefit. You will naturally feel when the time is right to stop, and I will be there to support you in making that decision.
Professional Counsellor in Brighton
I am a fully qualified counsellor since 2008, highly experienced and a registered, accredited member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP Accred). I have BUPA recognition and a link to BUPA can be found towards the bottom of this page.
How Counselling works
Counselling offers the opportunity to sound off and off-load without judgement and to live a lighter day to day life. It also offers the rare chance to hear some possible life changing truths, and reflect back on things which others have not seen or were not heard. It also, and most importantly, offers the chance to experience a secure trusted healthy attachment to a kind and boundaried person who is constant, reliable and consistent.
I believe everyone can benefit from counselling. Most of us manage to ‘bumble along,’ but you deserve more than just getting by. Counselling offers the opportunity to live with greater lightness and purpose. It provides a safe, trusted space to explore sensitive, awkward, or painful feelings, memories, and experiences.
Some want to know what type of counselling I use. I work with an integrated style that is psychodynamically based and tailored for each client’s needs. Other methods I incorporate include: a person centred approach, cognitive behavioural therapy, and solution focused therapy . I choose to have regular further training as part of continually developing and strengthening my practice.
