Steven JD Molyneux

I am a fully qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist (MSc, B.A. (Hons), P.G. Dip.) offering individual & couples therapy in Hove, BN3. As an Integrative Practitioner - simply put this means I am trained to deliver more than one type of therapy model - I specialise in both brief, solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term, in-depth treatment contracts. Having worked for 20+ years leading NHS, Hospice, Mental Health and Substance Misuse Clinical Services, as well as in Private Practice, I have extensive experience in working with a wide variety of individuals and diverse presenting issues.

Counselling and Psychotherapy are 'talking therapies' - processes that involve exploring feelings, beliefs, thoughts and events, often from childhood / personal history, in a structured and supportive way and with someone who is trained to do it safely. Exploring feelings and their meanings - what they remind you of and where they originated - can help in deciding whether certain core beliefs, once held about you and the world, are no longer appropriate and can thus be replaced with alternative, healthier options.

The first step involves setting up a no obligation phone call, to talk through your presenting issues and current circumstances; with the emphasis then being on considered ways forward and treatment options. Once in agreement, we then proceed to setting up an Initial Assessment (online/in person).
