Brighton Counselling, offering you a confidential safe space for one to one counselling & supervision.

My name is Nicky Mark. I am a senior accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor with both UKCP and UKAHPP. I qualified as a psychotherapeutic counsellor in 2000.

I offer counselling sessions face-to-face in central Brighton and Hove, and online where preferred.

My background is Integrative Humanistic and Gestalt. I offer both short- and long-term counselling for people with a wide range of issues. You may be suffering from anxiety or stress and need a confidential supportive space to explore what has brought you to this point.

Perhaps you are experiencing a crisis or going through significant life changes. You may want to work out, with counselling support, whether to stay together in your relationship or not, or to establish what needs to change.

Perhaps you have unresolved childhood issues that require linking past events and experiences to see and change patterns in the present through the counselling process.

I also have much experience in the field of bereavement counselling. As a grief counsellor, I will look closely at the impact of your loss with you, this may also include your experience of shock which can be complicated to navigate on your own.

I work with clients with serious health related illnesses such as heart disease, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and cancer. You may want counselling in preparation for or following surgery.

I also work with young people aged over 18 including students at Brighton University and University of Sussex and various other courses in the area. It has been a particularly challenging time for young people. Please contact me directly on behalf of your young person if they would prefer.

Supervision for counsellors

I am a Clinical Supervisor here in Brighton, face to face and online. I trained at The Gestalt Centre over 10 years ago and work with individual counsellors and with groups. I offer supervision to counsellors setting up in private practice. I work at As You Are Low-Cost Counselling Service as a Clinical Supervisor in Southwick which also includes counselling and supervision for young people at Plumpton College.

Online Counselling

I often work online with clients. Perhaps you would prefer to talk in the privacy and comfort of your own home, or online counselling can well if you spend time in different places or work abroad.

After a diagnosis, so many aspects of life can make more sense: the overthinking, the overactive brain that rarely switches off, the ruminating tendency, worry at times, procrastinating and sometimes catastrophising…

Body Listening Somantic Training

Body listening means listening to the body and taking its messages seriously. This involves a dialogue – between client and therapist, and a process – of change and growth.
