About me
Therapy with Bex
Hello, I’m Bex.
I am a BACP Registered, Humanistic, Integrative Therapist based in Brighton working online and face to face. I see clients F2F in Seaford and in Brighton.
I offer a compassionate, caring, active and affirming space where you can untangle the thoughts and feelings that may feel overwhelming.
How I work
My practice is rooted in Humanistic and Integrative therapy. Which means I tailor our sessions to suit what you need, drawing on different modalities and tools. Whether you’re feeling anxious or depressed, bereaved, exploring your identity, processing emotions, or seeking clarity on something in particular.
I’m here to help you navigate what’s going on for you, with warmth, acceptance, authenticity and care. I work relationally, which means that the relationship and trust we build together, creates the safety and enables the work to happen.
I will accept you, just as you are in the present moment with no judgement.
Whatever is going on for you, whether you're feeling stuck, at a crossroads in life, grieving, stressed, low confidence, family issues, exploring an ADHD or Autism diagnosis, and what it means for you, navigating your identity, or a relationship breakdown.
I can help you untangle how you feel, to better understand and accept yourself.
Navigating life's challenges is hard. It's like riding a wave, we have ups and downs. Sometimes we want to reflect on our current coping strategies and see if we can add more tools to our tool box of things that support us.
I am also trained in Radical Self Care, which is a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness which is about cultivating a kinder and more self-compassionate view of ourselves and others. And MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction). We can explore tools to support you in accepting difficult emotions.
I am qualified to work as a Domestic Abuse Trainer (VAWG) and have a background in working in the Domestic Abuse sector. I have a background as an educator and arts practitioner; working with Queer youth and LGBTQIA+ adults, people from refugee backgrounds, people with neurodiversities (ADHD, Autism etc) and disabilities and people who have been bereaved by suicide.
Over 20 years of experience working and supporting people in a person-centred, compassionate and non-judgemental way.
I am trauma informed, intersectional, inclusive practitioner, having worked in mental health, children & youth services, education, arts and health & well-being sector.
Thanks for dropping by. Feel free to get in touch and have a free 20 minute introductory chat to see if we would be a good fit to working with each other.
I enthusiastically welcome people who identify with Gender, Sexual and Relationship, Diversity (GSRD) and people from the LGBTQIA+ community.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
