Better mental health through counselling

Arun Counselling Centre is a charity providing better mental health through professional, accessible and compassionate counselling enabling people to move forward in life.

Welcome to Arun Counselling Centre

Based in Littlehampton, Sussex, we offer low-cost and subsidised counselling for people who need support but may not be able to afford it, helping them move forward in life.

By providing individual counselling, employee assistance programmes (EAPs) and training for practitioners, we are able to continue offering the same subsidised services within our community that we have since 1983.

Why counselling?

Counselling offers a confidential, supportive space to explore what’s affecting you and gain greater clarity.

Your counsellor will work in a way that suits you, whether that’s talking things through, reflecting on past experiences, or focusing on practical ways to cope in the present.

Over time, this will help you recognise unhelpful patterns, manage emotions more confidently and approach life, relationships and work with a steadier perspective.
