Fleur Rigby - counsellor
Hello... my name is Fleur and I am a person-centred counsellor. The chances you are here because you maybe curious about exploring therapy. Humans and human emotions can be complex, life can be tough and busy at times and we sometimes need some outside support to make sense of it.
My job is to help you by providing an empathetic, non-judgemental and trusted space where we can explore the reasons that have brought to this point. In my experience this personal development and exploration can be a rewarding experience. I am fully insured and member of the BACAP.
My approach
...is to not be directive and tell you what to do. I believe people are resourceful and have an innate tendency to heal and move through challenges with the help of a trusted and empathetic listener. I aim to help you access that resource and resolve.
​​I am trauma-focused therapist and work predominantly with women. My areas of expertise include: survivors of sexual abuse, trauma, survivors of domestic abuse, neurodivergence, chronic illness, female health and mental health. My approach is influenced by somatic and dialectic behavioural therapy.
I prefer to work with long term with clients as it can take time to create that therapeutic alliance between client and therapist. Though I can provide short term therapy if needed
Ros Lawson - Access Bars
Hello... my name is Ros and I am certified consciousness Bars and Body Processes practitioner.
For me, Access Bars have been personally life changing. I was losing hope after two decades of traumatic body memories, flashbacks, intense emotions and suicidal urges. The first time my Bars were run, I experienced peace and silence in my head and body for the first time in many years. That gave me hope that my life could truly change for the better. That I could survive and heal.
My approach
Ros now facilitates individuals, often who have had experiences of deep trauma, to release old patterns of limiting beliefs, emotions and behaviours that no longer serve them, to have greater ease in their bodies and lives.
Access Consciousness Body Processes are hands-on. The practitioner uses a variety of hand placements on various positions on the body, while asking specific energies to run at each location. These energies invite the body to begin to heal, repair and create itself. The client remains fully clothed throughout.
There are over 50 body processes which can help with:
-
Dissolving the effects of trauma in the body
-
Boosting the immune system
-
Recovering from injury
-
Fatigue
-
Correcting Vision, and much more…
Hello ... my name is Angie. I am a qualified Counsellor, professionally recognised, registered and fully insured to practice. The core of my practice is Humanistic Integrative & Person Centred, which simply means I tailor my approach to suit each individual and their needs. In addition to my own practise, I have previously provided counselling to a local charity offering grief counselling and emotional support to parents and children who have experienced the death of a child or young adult within their family. Previously I was a counsellor with Macmillan Counselling Service, NHS Eastbourne and Cruse Bereavement Service Brighton & Hove.
I am naturally a warm, compassionate and empathetic person with a caring and considerate nature.
Angie Osborne
My approach
I offer short or long term face to face counselling support. Once we have met and discussed your needs we can work out what is right for you at that time; there will be no pressure, it will be your choice. It is a fluid progression and we can review as we go. It's your choice to start and your choice to stop. My only request is that we agree to be honest and open to enable trust to be built between us so we can work towards reaching the best outcome for YOU.
