Kate Nicholls

I offer session times on weekdays between 8am and 6pm.

We will meet at the same time each week at my private consulting room on the west side of Worthing, a ten-minute walk from Worthing Town Centre. 

I am also available for online sessions.

I offer psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy in West Sussex and online.

Perhaps you find yourself here because your anxiety and depression is affecting your everyday life, you're tired of the daily struggles you face, you want something to change. Maybe you recognise that you are driven to repeat patterns of behaviour that cause you distress and pain in relationships. Perhaps you've had a sense for a while that something isn't quite right, a voice inside stopping you from living a happy and fulfilling life; you’re curious to see if therapy could help.

Our current thoughts and feelings - how we experience ourselves and others today - are always affected by what went before, often stemming from childhood. Our reactions to friends and family, along with our internal emotions and thought processes, are strongly based on how family members responded to us back then.

Working psychodynamically together, your therapeutic journey will bring unconscious feelings into consciousness, as we access previously unknown thoughts and feelings, traumas, rejections and losses.

Over time, this new self-awareness may enable you to make better sense of who you really are, as we work through your shameful feelings and inner conflict. A sense of being more focused and in control of yourself and your life, along with improved inner-resilience and self-belief, better relationships, and improved emotional stability, are key benefits I hope you’ll enjoy.

Whatever you may be experiencing, my aim is to help you better understand the situation you find yourself in, and provide a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space for you to find out who you really are, allowing a stronger, more authentic self to emerge.

We will commit to meeting weekly for 50 minutes, at the same time each week either face-to-face or if preferred, on Zoom.

My consulting room is a safe, quiet, confidential space.

Please get in touch by email or phone if you have any questions. I treat all enquiries with confidentiality.

If you decide to call me, it's likely you'll get through to my voicemail. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you.
