About Me
My name is Simon Arthur-Smith. I am an experienced counsellor, now in my sixteenth year of private practice, offering therapy both from counselling rooms in Hove (160-162 Church Road) and remotely (via Skype and telephone). I am committed to providing effective (and cost-effective) counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and totally non-judgemental environment.
I am a Registered and Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy.
Appointments
I counsel individuals one-to-one, either for an agreed time period, or on an open-ended basis - my aim as a counsellor is to enable you to improve your quality of life and live life more fully.
I am experienced in counselling clients who are having difficulties with:

Relationship matters

Low self-esteem
-
Depression
-
Bereavement

Sexuality issues

Disability

Life-threatening illness

My Hove practice location is not just convenient for people residing in Brighton & Hove, but also residents of Portslade, Southwick, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing and Steyning. I also provide virtual appointments via Skype and phone for your convenience.

An initial consultation costs just £25. It typically takes 60-75 minutes.
My sessional rates for on-going counselling are as follows:

Please get in touch & find out how I can help you
If you have further questions or you wish to book an initial appointment, please get in touch, I am always happy to answer any questions you may have.
Please note, if you are planning on calling me on my mobile, there is a significant chance that I will be in a counselling session, and therefore unavailable to take a call, at any given time between 9am and 9pm on weekdays. In the event that you get a voicemail message when calling on the 'phone, please leave me a message, remembering to also leave your contact details and advising of times when it is appropriate for me to return your call. I will get back to you just as soon as feasibly can.
