Steve Mason Psychotherapy & Counselling | England

Welcome

A Safe Space for Change and Healing

You’ve likely found your way here because something in your life doesn’t feel right. Maybe you can't quite put your finger on it, or perhaps you know exactly what it is, but the path forward feels uncertain. Reaching out for support can be daunting, but it’s also a courageous first step.

We all experience moments when life feels overwhelming, whether it’s anxiety, depression, or feelings of being stuck. Major life events like bereavement, relationship breakdowns, job loss, or unexpected illness can shake us deeply. Past experiences or trauma may feel too heavy to carry alone or too frightening to share, with the fear that others may not truly understand.

You don’t have to go through it alone.

I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you are free to explore your thoughts and feelings safely and confidentially. Together, we can navigate those difficult memories, make sense of the present, and find a way forward that feels right for you.

About Me

I bring several years of experience in the therapeutic field, backed by five years of rigorous training accredited by the UKCP at the Metanoia Institute in London. I hold an MSc in Humanistic Psychotherapy from Middlesex University and have pursued further postgraduate training in couples and relationship therapy accredited by COSRT, alongside advanced studies in clinical sexology (psychosexual therapy).

As an Accredited Professional Member of NCPS and a registered member of BACP, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical practice.

Working Together

I believe that finding the right therapist is essential, which is why I offer a free initial 30-minute consultation. From there, we can explore the best way forward, whether that’s short-term or open-ended therapy. I work both in person at my Hove office and online, offering flexible options to suit your needs.

If you’re ready to begin or simply want to explore the possibility, I invite you to get in touch. Your journey towards change and healing can start here.

Treatment

Therapy can help with many difficult life problems, including;

Anxiety

There are times when we all experience anxiety. Maybe it is before a job interview, before travelling or an exam. Feelings may include a general sense of unease, worry, panic or fear. For some, sensations will be fleeting and mild, but they may be prolonged and intense for others, like a persistent nagging feeling of dread.

Loss & Bereavement

Loss can bring up a range of difficult emotions that can be hard to manage, ranging from anger, sadness, loneliness, shock, guilt, and grief. Grief is an experience that touches us all at different times in our lives.

Depression

Feelings of sadness, unhappiness or being generally fed up are all valid reasons for coming to therapy. But depression is more than feeling this way. Depression is an illness that often lasts for weeks, months or longer and can feel devastating.

Trauma

Highly stressful situations that shatter your sense of security and make you feel helpless and unprotected in a hazardous environment can cause emotional and psychological trauma. A single traumatic event, such as a car accident, a natural disaster, or a violent attack, can induce trauma.

Relationships

Relationships may feel rewarding and joyous, or challenging. Therapy supports us in an exploration of who we are, examining patterns of behaviour. The therapeutic relationship creates the opportunity for a new experience where we can grow and evolve.

Self-Esteem

Living with low self-esteem can feel shaming and painful. It can be an isolating experience where we can feel alone and cut off from the world. If you have poor self-esteem, you may have a pessimistic attitude toward life, making it appear hopeless or pointless.
