Vicky Simmonds Counselling
Counselling in Brighton & Hove
I’m Vicky, a counsellor based in Brighton & Hove, working with adults in person and online.
I know from experience how life can feel confusing or overwhelming at times, especially when you’re used to coping alone, or supporting others. You may be struggling with anxious thoughts, feeling low or disconnected, or carrying something that feels too difficult to talk about with family or friends. You might not have clear words for what’s wrong, only a sense that something isn’t quite right.
Often people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with low self-esteem, or finding family or relationship issues hard to manage. Whatever brings you here, welcome.
My approach to therapy

About Me
My own experiences of loss and grief, and the transitions that come with different stages of life have given me a deep appreciation of how difficult it can be to navigate through change.
These experiences have shaped how I work. As a Person Centred counsellor I don’t see my role as fixing or diagnosing, but rather as providing the kind of relationship where you can talk openly, and feel genuinely heard and understood. I know from both personal and professional experience how transformative that can be.
Outside of the counselling room, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and walks on the beach with my dog – I love living by the sea in all seasons. In my spare time I also volunteer as a counsellor at a local low cost counselling service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few FAQs – if there’s anything more you’d like to know, or something isn’t covered here, please get in touch.
What issues do you work with?
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and relationship problems. Some people come with a clear reason for seeking counselling, while others have a general sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves. You don’t need to have everything worked out before starting.
