Counselling in Brighton
My name is Tim Pike. I am a BACP accredited counsellor. I qualified in 2008. I was awarded senior accreditation in 2018. I work from my private practice in central Brighton.
I provide counselling in Brighton to adults on a one-to-one basis. I offer sessions for £105 both in person and by video.
Moving from Heaviness to Clarity
Negative feelings you might be having right now: frustrated, irritated, low, flat, lonely, worried, lost, trapped, anxious, furious, unwanted, used, self loathing, unappreciated, exploited, confused, low priority, betrayed, left wanting to escape, left wanting some fairness.
The challenges you’re facing:
Pressures and stress from family, partner, work, money, relationships, changes, expectations, moods, secrets, dilemmas, failures, isolation, end of tether, disconnection, absence of meaning, purpose, belonging.
Goals you want to achieve:
Direction, motivation, clarity, integration within self and among others, some get up and go, raised self worth, sharper knowledge of how you really operate and function so areas which benefit from better self management are anticipated and navigated successfully, reclaiming your vitality, discharge heavy unwanted feelings, left feeling lighter, lifted, at peace, brighter, contented, inner calm, satisfied, self accepting with a clearer deeper sense of meaning, purpose and belonging.
My approach to counselling
The process is grounded in a simple, supportive structure. You are invited to speak about whatever is on your mind; I have found that even the most spontaneous or unexpected topics can often lead us to the most essential insights.
The work relies on a weekly momentum. This consistent rhythm allows the progress we make together to settle and continue evolving in your daily life between our sessions.
Your First Session
Our initial 50-minute meeting is an opportunity for us to experience working together. It is a space to discuss your needs and determine if I am the right person to support you.
The Duration of Therapy
We will work together each week until you feel you have reached the right point to finish. For some, this may be after a few sessions; for others, long-term work provides the most benefit. You will naturally feel when the time is right to stop, and I will be there to support you in making that decision.
Professional Counsellor in Brighton

How Counselling works
Counselling offers the opportunity to sound off and off-load without judgement and to live a lighter day to day life. It also offers the rare chance to hear some possible life changing truths, and reflect back on things which others have not seen or were not heard. It also, and most importantly, offers the chance to experience a secure trusted healthy attachment to a kind and boundaried person who is constant, reliable and consistent.
I believe everyone can benefit from counselling. Most of us manage to ‘bumble along,’ but you deserve more than just getting by. Counselling offers the opportunity to live with greater lightness and purpose. It provides a safe, trusted space to explore sensitive, awkward, or painful feelings, memories, and experiences.
Some want to know what type of counselling I use. I work with an integrated style that is psychodynamically based and tailored for each client’s needs. Other methods I incorporate include: a person centred approach, cognitive behavioural therapy, and solution focused therapy . I choose to have regular further training as part of continually developing and strengthening my practice.
