Hal Thompson MSc, MBACP

Counselling and Psychotherapy - Brighton, Hove and online

 

About me

I am a qualified psychodynamic therapist with several years’ experience working with a wide range of people and issues. I work from accessible consulting rooms in Brighton and Hove, as well as online. I offer a calm and confidential space to explore what brings you to therapy, and anything else that may come up.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, which focusses on past and present experiences, including aspects which you may not yet be aware of. This can bring about benefits such as new understanding, changes in relationships and patterns, emotional relief, and processing of past experiences. I have further training in a range of therapeutic approaches, such as CBT, IFS and Polyvagal Theory, which I integrate, striving to meet you unique situation and needs.

How I work…

Each session lasts 50 minutes. I generally work weekly to provide consistency and continuity, however, we can adjust the frequency depending on your needs and circumstances.

I work both short-term, perhaps focussing on specific issues or goals, and long-term for deeper exploration and change. We can decide together which approach would be best, working towards an ending at a time that feels natural and right to you.

First steps…

I offer a free, no-commitment 30 minute initial consultation for you to get a feel for what working together would be like, and to discuss initial practical issues. Please get in touch if you would like to arrange this.
