Scott Doane

I currently have availability weekdays from 10am to 3:30pm

As a person-centred counsellor, I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can work toward your own personal empowerment and to overcome any struggles you are facing.

I have experience working with those who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal thoughts. I also have experience working with those who are facing big or potentially big changes in their lives – through retirement, career changes, health issues and relationship challenges.

My personal history has held many twists and turns, and this rich experience of life feeds my approach.

I am a father of 4 children, and have set up and run various businesses in the 20 years that I have been an entrepreneur. Within that I have 15 years of experience offering training for corporate clients.

I have worked in investment banking, managed departments in a telecoms company, and I have worked as sole trader striving desperately to make a living.

I have myself experienced bullying at school, depression and anxiety, had panic attacks, and walked through “hell” in relationship breakdowns. But I have found my way through all of this and more, which is of course what led me into counselling in the first place. 

I am currently offering in-person sessions in Eastbourne, or via Zoom if required. I also offer "walk and talk" therapy, across the South Downs between Eastbourne and the Lewes / Brighton area. 

I offer a free 20 minute introduction phone call. We will look at what you are hoping to get out of counselling in this session, and whether I am a good match for you. 

Other than that, the first counselling session is like any other, and we dive straight in.
