Individual therapy
Therapy can be for anyone, whether you have complex or chronic mental health problems, or are just looking for someone to talk to. We offer one-to-one therapy to address a wide range of concerns. These sometimes include but are not limited to anxiety and depression, family and relationship problems, grief, identity, trauma or self-esteem issues.
Individual therapy starts with an initial consultation to help us get a sense of the ‘best fit’ for you in terms of a therapist and type of therapy that is likely to work well for you. You don’t need to come in with any particular knowledge about therapy or know what exactly you are looking for. We can offer everything from short-term counselling to open-ended exploratory psychotherapy. Our practitioners offer a range of therapies and are trained in a variety of approaches.
Couples therapy
Couples therapy is for people looking to come to therapy together to work on their relationship. This relationship might be romantic, but it might also be a familial or platonic relationship, monogamous, or non-monogamous. Couples therapy at Hastings Therapy Centre is inclusive of all kinds of relationships.
All relationships can face challenges, from communication and intimacy to parenting and big life decisions. Working through these with an independent and qualified therapist can help us understand and address these issues together. A relationship does not need to be in crisis to benefit from couples therapy.
Couples therapy starts with an initial couples consultation, to help the therapist understand what is going on in the relationship and how they might work with you on this. The number of sessions needed can be agreed on together.
Group therapy
Group therapy is where you are working as part of a group of people together, and it can take many different forms. It can help provide a supportive environment to meet others experiencing similar issues and to share experiences.
Groups are often facilitated by a therapist, who works with you and other group members towards building a shared space of mutual support and understanding. In some cases, groups can also be led by their members.
Sometimes groups can involve working with a therapist on an individual basis first as part of preparation for the group. In other cases, the group does not look so much like traditional therapy and is more about creating a reflective space together; for instance, where a therapeutic practice such as creative writing can be nurtured and shared with therapeutic benefits.
Organisations and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
We work with a range of organisations to provide specialist services to clients. These range from statutory organisations who contract us to work with people they are supporting, to private businesses providing support to their staff through Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs).
If you are interested in the services we offer, please get in touch to find out more about how we can help you and your organisation’s specific needs. Whether you are looking for individual or group therapy for clients or staff, or clinical supervision or consultancy to individuals and teams.
Charity partnerships
We work in partnership with a number of other charities to provide mental health support to people in need in our community. If you are a charity and wonder how we might be able to work together, please get in touch.
Hope & Healing
A good example of our Charitable partnership work is the Hope and Healing project. We provide free counselling and therapy for individuals and their families who have been affected by a cancer diagnosis, all referred to us by one of six Sussex-based charities. These are Momentum Children’s Charity, WOLO, Children With Cancer Fund, Jane’s Wish Charity, Olive Tree Cancer Support, and 1066 Pink Ladies.
If you have been referred by one of these organisations, you can book your free initial consultation through our booking page here.
