About me
I specialise in supporting individuals experiencing trauma, grief, anxiety and depression, and couples with relationship difficulties. I offer talking therapy and EMDR in Hove and online. I am an MBACP (Accred) Counselling Psychotherapist, and I also work with issues relating to parenting, fertility, IVF and childless or childfree living.
EMDR therapy can help with trauma and with experiences that still feel present long after they happened. I have completed Part 1 of EMDR training with EMDR Nexus, an EMDR Europe accredited training provider, and I offer EMDR in person in Hove or online.

My Qualifications & Experience:
I have a PGDip (Level 7) in Humanistic Counselling & Psychotherapy, which means utilising the here-and-now as well as attending to past experiences, respecting your unique story and leaving behind any assumptions of who you are or how you should be.
Humanistic also covers themes such as uncertainty, choice, isolation and endings. For more information on how I work please see my website www.danielleuphillcounselling.com or contact me on 07866754974
How I can help you:
My therapeutic approach is rooted in warmth, honesty, empathy, and human connection. I help clients gently explore what feels stuck or painful, understand the deeper patterns beneath the surface, and reconnect with the version of themselves that feels most authentic.
I believe resilience and healing come from a mixture of compassion and acceptance. Therapy isn't about "fixing" you, it's about creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings, process difficult experiences, and discover what you need to feel at home in your own skin. I offer talking therapy and EMDR, and we can decide together which feels right for you.
Areas of experience:
I specialise in working with individuals and couples dealing with a broad spectrum of issues, including but not limited to:
Trauma & EMDR Past experiences can stay with us in ways that show up as anxiety, flashbacks, low mood or feeling constantly on edge. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) alongside talking therapy, helping the brain process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. We'll go at a pace that feels safe for you.
Anxiety & Depression I help clients whose anxiety has manifested itself in many ways - addiction, fatigue, restlessness, irritability, nervousness and other physical and emotional manifestations that can appear linked or seemingly unrelated. Similar to anxiety, depression can appear in a number of ways from being quick to anger, sleeplessness or sadness followed by numbness. Sometimes it can take a while to come to the point of understanding you may be experiencing depression and it's a big step to seek help for it, yet one that I believe is worthwhile.
Childless not-by-choice Supporting individuals and couples who are childless due to factors such as infertility, miscarriage, or personal circumstances. My work involves assisting you in navigating the emotional pain and heartbreak associated with miscarriage, unsuccessful attempts at conception naturally or through IVF, relationships ending and the complex challenges stemming from the decisions around becoming a parent. This can include addressing the potential stigma, feelings of loneliness & isolation, and the impact on relationships (romantic and otherwise) that can arise from this experience.
Grief & Living losses These encompass various life changes and challenges, such as redundancy, relocation or significant transitions. I support clients in understanding and processing the emotions that accompany these losses, navigating the emotional complexities, adapting to changes, and fostering resilience while finding new ways to embrace life and seek fulfilment.
Neurological diversity I also have experience working with individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. For many, this diagnosis brings a mix of unexpected emotions and challenges as they begin to understand how their unique neurological experiences have shaped their lives. Together, we can explore how ADHD has impacted your sense of self, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.
My aim is to help you make sense of these feelings and to navigate the complexities that come with this newfound awareness. Whether it's understanding how ADHD has influenced your past or learning new strategies for managing life moving forward, we will work at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you.
Relationships & Couples Counselling I work with couples going through challenges such as conflict, affairs, or feeling disconnected or stuck as well as those looking to end kindly and consciously. I work with understanding the impact of life changes like parenting, redundancy or children leaving home, low mood or anxiety tied to the relationship, and the grief that can come from childlessness, miscarriage, or failed IVF. Couples therapy offers a confidential space to explore patterns, improve communication, and work through challenging periods together.
I also support individuals seeking help with relationships, whether with a romantic partner or other significant people in their life, including those initiating or re-entering the dating world after the end of a significant relationship, or navigating the uncertainty of a potential breakup.
I offer both online and in-person therapy from private practice rooms in Hove. My Hove practice is located near Hove Station, with easy access by public transport or on street parking nearby.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
