Sherry Walters Counselling

About

I'm Sherry, a qualified and experienced counsellor based in Brighton and Hove. I offer short and long-term counselling to young people and adults looking for psychological and emotional help in support of good mental health by video or face to face.

If you've arrived here, you are already thinking about counselling. You might be feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed and finding it difficult to cope with the challenges of life. Perhaps you have experienced a recent loss, had a sudden change of circumstances or are struggling with relationships. Maybe you don't even know what's troubling you. Research shows positive change happens when there is a good match between client and counsellor. It’s difficult to choose a counsellor or know what to expect from counselling without having a face-to-face meeting. This is why I offer a free 30-minute introductory session where we can meet. You can then ask any questions to help you in your search for a therapist and decide whether we are a good fit.

If you decide that I'm not the counsellor for you, I can help you in your ongoing search.

So why chose Internet Counselling? What are the benefits and considerations? This is what several other people have said:

“My life is hectic. Doing counselling via the internet means that I can commit to a time without the worry of the travel rush to meet my counsellor face to face. As well as saving travel time I save myself the stress and cost of parking. I was worried that I’d feel unconnected being online but after the first couple of sessions I realised I forget that I’m not in the same room.”

“I was worried because I’m not very technically minded but my counsellor guided me through and now, it’s the same really with anything, that I’ve done it a few times I don’t even think about it. My counsellor and I agreed what we would do if there was a problem with the internet …so I don’t really worry at all. Sometimes I wish I could see the whole of my counsellor as I think I must depend a lot on reading body language. We discussed this in a session which was really interesting and helpful in my understanding of how I relate to others.”

“I’ve suffered from agoraphobia in the past and live in a small town. I didn’t really want to be seen going into the counsellors place as I felt that people might start talking. Going on line really helped in being able to talk about my fears”
