Niall MacLellan

I have availability currently.

My consulting room is in Brighton, just by Preston Park station.

I am a qualified Relationship Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor with 25 years’ experience. Before setting up my private practice, I provided counselling and supervision at Relate centres across Sussex from 1996 to 2021.

I work with individual adults and couples on a range of issues, including:

• Understanding your partner better to improve your relationship

• Communication difficulties, resolving disagreements and conflicts

• Inter-cultural relationships

• Sexual issues

• The challenges of parenting

• Extended family issues

• Affairs

• Anticipating separation and relationship breakdown

• Problems in forming relationships.

My approach is flexible and responsive, informed by psychodynamic understanding, along with a behavioural focus - according to individual needs. It can be helpful to look at past experiences and identify patterns of relating, in order to better understand your current situation and find ways of moving forward.

I am committed to anti-discriminatory practice and to hearing the unique stories of each person - whatever their sexual orientation, identity or ethnicity.

Every relationship is different and couples have valued having time and space to better understand their relationship,  and make changes as necessary, with the help of a neutral facilitator. 

The first step is to arrange an initial consultation to see is we can work together. I offer a reduced fee of £50 for this. 

Some people find it helpful to have a brief telephone conversation prior to an initial meeting, and this can also be arranged.
