Angharad Percy

Available daytime/evenings

Hello, my name is Angharad (she/her) and I’m a qualified humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor.

Life is challenging and regardless of who we are, life events can affect our ability to cope. I work with people from diverse backgrounds who bring many different experiences including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma and bereavement.

I believe that relationship is key and that with the right person, it is possible to bring about change. For my part, I feel that my previous experience as a lawyer can help focus the gentle but genuine curiosity I have in others. As I work alongside my clients, my hope is that this focus will help bring about in both of us, an insight which is honest and helpful.

The 20 years I spent working in a corporate environment has also given me an insight into the pressures that can arise in an intense, professional environment which some may find helpful. I also work with clients who experience low confidence/self-esteem both in and out of the work place.

I respect the idea that whatever your experiences may be, they are unique to you. I therefore offer a non-judgemental, empathic space in which we can begin to explore these together, at a pace that feels safe and in a way that feels most comfortable for you.

Over time, I believe that a gentle and compassionate exploration can lead to a re-framing of experiences and a greater level of understanding and self-awareness. This increased awareness can also shine a light on the extent to which choices and behaviours may be rooted in past strategies which perhaps once served a purpose but are now unhelpful. Such insights can bring a feeling of freedom around choices made going forward as well as promoting self-compassion. 

I offer short-term therapy (i.e 6, 12 or 24 weeks) as well as long term, open-ended therapy.

I work in person in private therapy rooms in Hove or online. For those who require some flexibility, it is possible to work in different ways week to week.

I offer an initial 50 minute session at a reduced rate of £35. This session is an opportunity for you to ask any questions, to understand a bit more about how I work and for me to have a brief understanding of what brings you to therapy.

There is no obligation to commit after this session.
