Selina Wigmore

I can offer face to face sessions in Worthing on Tuesday and Friday mornings and early afternoons. I also have sessions available on Monday and Wednesday for online or telephone sessions only.

Therapy can be a difficult step, and figuring out what your needs are and what to expect can be confusing. Working with me involves looking at your past in order to see how you carry it with you today. Through processing the past you can begin to let it go, and start to live in the present.

I am psychodynamically trained so I aim to look at roots of behaviour and trace them back to unresolved feelings or experiences from childhood. It can be a long, difficult process of reliving the past, but I am here alongside you to give you support and understanding throughout, and help you come out of the process with more self awareness.

The benefits of counselling can affect many aspects of your life. In learning more about yourself; the way you are, why you respond in particular ways, and why you may have adapted these behaviours; your compassion and kindness to yourself can improve, as does your sense of self value. As you validate and value yourself more, you begin to validate and value those around you for their own experiences and how they can relate to you because of or in spite of your separate experiences.

The counselling I offer can be helpful if: you feel depressed or lonely and unable to connect with others; you feel anxious and worried and need to put this into perspective; you are having trouble in your relationship and feel you want to examine your part in that relationship; you feel you have lost your identity because of work, relationships or changes in family circumstances. 

I have worked with clients who experience depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, pre- and post- natal emotions, comfort eating and lack of identity

Counselling can give everyone space to reflect upon themselves, and find their way to a truer, more contented way of being.

Long term and short term sessions are available, and there is space to discuss your needs as therapy unfolds. Sessions are usually scheduled on a regular, weekly basis, and last for 50 minutes. Face to face sessions are available in Worthing, subject to room availability; and I also offer online or telephone sessions. 

Each session is charged at £50, and this can be payed in advance  or after five working days of each session. Should I as the counsellor cancel a session, you are not required to pay the fee; if you as a client give me more than 48 hours cancellation notice the fee is not required. 

I am available for sessions during the daytime only, and have space on Monday (online and telephone only), Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Initial assessments last no more than an hour, are not charged for and will be carried out either over the telephone or via Zoom- please let me know of your preference. 

This is a general chat to find out what you are looking for from your counselling and how I will support you through your sessions. 

I will got through details of the counselling contract and forward all necessary paperwork to you to be signed and returned. I will also take personal details and brief background notes. 

You are not committed to return to counselling with me after the initial session.
