Couples
Voluntary agencies do provide couple therapy in Brighton, Lewes, Worthing and Hove, but their fees now match private therapy so if you would like to be seen without waiting lists or complex assessment procedures please contact me. I am a full time professional with training and experience in couple psychotherapy.I see couples of all ages, including same-sex of both genders and frequently work with people who are separating or divorcing but wish to improve necessary future communications.

'I think that the work we did was the opening of the lock that was holding a "floodgate" full of "stuff" behind it! I think we did some very important work together, and I thank you for being the person who helped me on the first step of that particular road.'
- Sarah K (Pay It Forward Client)
I use a unique blend of methods and I work with the whole person: heart, body and soul as well as with the mind, short or long term. I have a comprehensive background knowledge of complementary healthcare.
If you are in distress I can join you in your journey for a while and support you in finding more effective ways to address difficult issues and arrive at a greater sense of self by creating a safe and non judgmental relationship, and work towards acceptance, resolution or change.

'I spent a year with Rhiannon, she filled many roles in our sessions but to me she has been a teacher. She has encouraged me to know, trust and understand myself in both mind and body. I am now reaching and aiming for goals that I had almost given up on.'
- M.C. Price
Therapy
Therapy lasts between 6 weeks and six months depending on the circumstances. Some people find a year or more is necessary.Therapy progresses in four ways:
1 Identify, explore
2 Achieve insight
3 Support to accept, cope
4 Support to plan lasting, realistic healing
I usually have a short waiting list of a week or two but if you are in crisis I will try to see you for at least an initial session within at least 48 hours. Call me on 07425 153462
Rhiannon is a most creative, yet down to earth therapist, extremely safe, equally at home in the realms of the mind and the emotions.
