Eithne Lehane

Hi, I'm Eithne (Etna).  I offer face-to-face counselling to adults and young people (16+) at Worthing Natural Balance and Wellbeing Centre.  I can also offer telephone and online counselling. 

How will counselling help you?

Life presents challenges for us all, which often become very hard to navigate alone. 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 societal pressures, our health, family, relationships, identity, bereavement...the list just goes on.  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.  

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 you feel we are a comfortable, therapeutic fit. I offer a free, initial 30-minute session, where we can discuss your needs and expectations and decide if we are suited and would like to work together. If we proceed, an agreement is usually made to a weekly meet for 50-minute counselling sessions. 

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

I also offer Solution Focused Brief Therapy. This is a short term approach which is more goal-oriented, and focuses on the here-and-now. The emphasis is on utilising your strengths and resources, and seeking alternatives and solutions to accelerate change in your current patterns of thinking and behaviour. 

Most importantly, I will be led by you and focus on being in tune with your preferences 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.
