Eithne Lehane

Hi, I'm Eithne (Etna), a warm, down to earth counsellor.  I offer face-to-face counselling to adults in a spacious room that opens out to a private garden and covered terrace area, at Worthing Natural Balance and Wellbeing Centre.  I can also offer telephone and online counselling. 

How will counselling help you?

Sometimes we get stuck because of unresolved losses and traumas from the past. Sometimes we know something in the here-and-now needs confronting, but just can't see a way to move forward. Sometimes the space we occupy feels small, empty or uninspiring. Sometimes we struggle with our health, family, relationships, identity, bereavement...the list just goes on. Life presents challenges for us all, which often become very hard to navigate alone. I firmly believe that when you are joined by another who offers unconditional support and understanding, your scope broadens to uncover new pathways through the fog. I bring warmth, honesty, openness, curiosity and creativity to help in this journey of discovery together.   You have the keys to unlock what you need, and together we can open the doors and discover fresh perspectives.

I will invite you to share in a safe, confidential space to become more aware of the uniqueness of your experience. As you understand yourself more fully, you can make choices that lead to both accepting and effecting changes for greater fulfilment in your life. Where you can explore your feelings, experiences and concerns at a pace that suits you, and where you feel listened to without judgment.  

How will you know if we are a good match?

It is important that in choosing a counsellor, you feel we are a comfortable, therapeutic fit. This is why I offer a free initial 30 minute session for us to meet/talk and decide whether you would like to work together.  Where we can discuss your needs and expectations. There is no obligation to continue, but if you decide you would like to, we will meet weekly for 50 minute sessions. 

I have trained as an Integrative Counsellor. This means I understand and utilise a range of counselling approaches in my work. My theoretical approach is predominantly person-centred, with a strong grounding in Attachment Theory and Relational Therapy.  I also draw upon elements of Transactional Analysis, Existential Therapies and Jungian Therapy. 

Most importantly however, I will be led by you, rather than lead you with a theory of my choosing.  This tailored approach means I will focus on being in tune with your personal choices and needs.  

If you have any questions or would like to book an initial session, please call or text me on 07821609288 or email me.
