Chris Burgess

Welcome to the website of Chris Burgess at the South Downs Psychotherapy Practice. This site is designed so that you can easily find out how I can help you.

I am a qualified and experienced psychotherapist who practices in Central Brighton.

Counselling and psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to talk confidentially about your problems and difficulties.

Some of the triggers for seeking this kind of help could be:

• You are finding it hard to resolve a problem by yourself, or even with the help of those around you.
• You may be having difficulty coping with your own feelings, generally or in a particular situation.
• You might have a sense of not being able to move on in your life.
• You are currently negotiating changes or transitions in your life and are perhaps finding these difficult, or even overwhelming.

I have experience of working with clients on a wide range of issues, including:

• Anxiety and depression
• Employment difficulties
• Bereavement
• Relationship problems
• Identity and gender issues
• Sexuality,
• Mid-life issues
• Stress and other mental health problems

I am also committed to, and have experience of, working with a diverse range of people from different cultures, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations and those with mental health problems.

You may not be sure if counselling or psychotherapy will be right for you. Perhaps looking at this website will help you decide. You might also want to consider meeting with me for an initial session to see if what I offer could potentially help you.
