The Palmeira Practice offers couples counselling and psychotherapy services in Brighton and Hove. Therapy is provided both in person and online.

Our couples counsellors are all highly experienced and have received training. They are also members of the BACP and/or UKCP. Unlike many therapy Practices, we do not use student counsellors.

You can see the specific areas that our couples counsellors specialise in, under their profiles. For a full idea of the range of services and work that they offer, please click any profiles for further information.

Each counsellor is priced individually. We do not set Practice-wide prices, but our therapists choose their own prices. Counsellors with an asterisk (*) offer introductory sessions at a discounted price.
