Psychotherapy—especially in its depth forms—isn’t merely about validation or giving advice. It’s not a polished mirror reflecting words in gentler tones. It’s something deeper. It’s two minds, each shaped by history and longing, coming together in a shared space and wrestling with what emerges.

Thought of the week..."Never assume you know a patient’s experience, past or present. Stay curious. Ask them to say more. Language can reveal, but it can also conceal. This is why symbolism in therapy often speaks more powerfully than ‘feeling words’. When a patient and therapist can swim in shared symbolism, something profoundly intimate occurs: the patient’s inner world is being lived as if in real time."

Working with children and adolescents is a specialised field and my training has equipped me to be able to use skills and approaches that allow me to work with young children who may not have the emotional vocabulary to express themselves.

I welcome referrals for children, adolescents, and young adults.

Approach
My practice is based in the psychodynamic tradition, which places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of emotional change and supports young people in making sense of their inner world through a consistent, confidential, and trusting relationship. I work relationally, recognising that, alongside talking, distress can be expressed in a non-directive way through behaviour, play, or physical symptoms. Working with these relational patterns can help find the root of concerns which enables a positive and lasting change.

Alongside therapy sessions, I work closely with parents, carers, and professionals where appropriate. My approach is non-judgemental and flexible, and tailored to the developmental and emotional needs of each child or young person. I am experienced in both long-term and time-limited therapy, depending on the situation and what feels right for the individual.

Individual Therapy - Seeing a therapist as an individual can be enormously supportive and constructive, whether that is for a short-term piece of focused work, through to a longer and more in-depth period of psychotherapy.
For short-term work, accessing counselling as an individual can be a beneficial way of working through issues that are troubling; creating stress, anxiety or depression and/or impacting on relationships with friends, colleagues or loved ones.

The two faces of shame: how this powerful feeling shapes our lives by David Keighley

In the therapy room, shame – which we often hide, almost at any cost – frequently hinders progress. Clients sometimes conceal aspects of their behaviour they fear are shameful, such as viewing po*******hy, taking class A drugs, or losing their temper.This is because it is perhaps one of the most … [Read more...https://www.brightonandhovepsychotherapy.com/blog/the-two-faces-of-shame-how-this-powerful-feeling-shapes-our-lives/

Meet our Team, Lucie Ramet
I am inspired by research in psychology, sociology and neuroscience that explores the keys to well-being and the science behind happiness, compassion, resiliency, and purpose. I find it essential to apply these findings in therapeutic work to promote a thriving and resilient society.

A throwback to when Mark was asked to contribute to an article in The New Statesman on how Gen Z may be one of the most risk-adverse, and as a result conservative, generations in many years and how their experiences of childhood – notably the pandemic – may have shaped this outlook.

Non Violent Resistance (NVR): a compassionate approach to family change by Georgie Leake

What is NVR?
Non Violent Resistance (NVR) is a powerful, relational approach that supports parents facing violence, aggression, controlling behaviour, or destructive family dynamics. It is equally valuable for families who feel overwhelmed, depleted, or stuck in unhelpful patterns, even when violence is not present.

At its heart, NVR helps families recognise unhelpful dynamics, build stronger connections, and empower parents to make change.
