Jay Ann Tregenza
Counselling in Brighton and Hove

Counselling and therapy in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex

My name is Jay Ann Tregenza and I am an Accredited Counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have worked in the area of social care around Worthing then in Brighton and Hove for twelve years and have been a practising counsellor since 2002. (See qualifications for more details).

If you are looking at this page, then the chances are that either you, or someone you care about, is experiencing some sort of emotional difficulty. It may be that there is a relationship problem in your life, a divorce or a bereavement or some other form of loss. You may be experiencing anxiety, stress or depression, or you may simply feel unable to cope with life.

Alternatively it might be that you are going through a particular life change which offers you the opportunity for growth but you are not sure of how to approach this. You may want to explore the situation in counselling to help you get a better sense of who you want to be and how you want to adjust to these changes. This may involve issues such as ageing, career or training developments, changes in your family role or make-up.

Whatever it may be, counselling offers a safe, non-judgemental and confidential place in which to explore your feelings and difficulties. Counselling is not about giving advice, but it is about helping you to find your own answers to your own unique problems.

In particular counselling can help when:

You are trying to make a difficult decision

You are struggling to cope with some change in your life

It would help to talk privately to someone

You need to take a step back and put things back into perspective

Please have a read through the About Counselling information on my website. If you live in the Brighton and Hove area and think that you might benefit from seeing a counsellor, then don't hesitate to get in touch either by telephone or by e-mail.

How I work

My standard fee is £30 per 50 min session, however I do offer reduced fee places to some people, so please do ask me about this. If I feel I cannot offer you what you need or, if I feel there is someone or a service more suited to your needs, then I will try to offer you information on where to look for further support.

How to find me

My consulting rooms are conveniently situated for FiveWays, Preston Park and the Sevendials areas of Brighton. There is also free, easy parking closeby and excellent bus and rail links just 5-10 mins away. My practice is easily accessible for local clients in all areas of Brighton (Sevendials and Patcham are nearby) as well as those travelling a little further in from Hove, Peacehaven or Shoreham.
