Counsellor and Life Coach Worthing, Brighton and Online

I was stuck between what had happened and my fears for my future. With Alan’s help I was able to work through what had happened and see a different life and career. He has given me tools and strategies to help me deal with life in a more positive way.

My sessions with you have helped me a lot when it comes to adjusting to a new professional role. You have helped me raise my self awareness and develop an understanding of unhelpful patterns and learnt behaviour and how to start to change these.

He has also shown great support in coaching me on how to deal with my fears in both my work and private life, which has increased my confidence and made me realise perhaps life isn’t as scary after all. I would highly recommend Alan as both a counsellor and life coach to anyone needing a guiding hand to take the next steps in building your future the way you want it to be.

After my first session with Alan I was instantly sure that I had made the right decision in seeking help. I have learnt some amazing things about myself and some great techniques when dealing with problems, without Alan’s help I know I would have struggled through the rest of my life.

Alan is terrific both as a counsellor & as a coach. I used him in both capacities for about a year, dealing with some very tough problems I was having & he was great at listening, reflecting and, very gently, prompting action on my part. And his advice had an uncanny quality of always being right!

I sought out Alan to help me with some of the issues that I was experiencing and to develop a view of who I was and what role/environment would suit me. We went through and used many different tools that I used and thought about to empower me. My confidence has since improved significantly and I feel altogether better and am now willing to trust people more.

I set goals to clarify and explore my potential to develop myself and my business as a self-employed person, supported by Alan’s coaching.

Once again thank you so very much for all your advice, support, information and coaching it has enabled me to make important decisions about myself and my life and has developed me more as a person.

with understanding, gentle guidance and showed me the path away from a potential “no win” situation to a much more positive outcome than I could have ever imagined. He aided me in concentrating on what was important and making the changes to attain what I always desired.

I found Alan to be refreshingly straight forward with his advice and way of working and I found our sessions to be enjoyable and enlightening. I would be happy to recommend him.

Through his calm and empathetic approach I have been able to work through the fog and learn more about the deepest desires and values that are important to me. I can now use these as key components and criteria to help me ensure that my next steps embrace these.

His friendly and laid back manner always put me at ease no matter what we were discussing, and although he let me lead the sessions, he always made sure there was structure behind his coaching and goals to achieve. I am a different person thanks to the work Alan and I did togther, and I am very indebted to him for all his help and support. I could not recommend his services highly enough.

The great thing about the sessions was that they didn’t feel clinical. On many occasions it just felt like I wasn’t in a counselling session at all and just chatting to a friend.Throughout my experience, I really trusted Alan. He was my greatest source of guidance through this tough emotional journey.

Alan has a strong ability to help you explore and set new directions. He is positive and forward looking and he has taught me to be less scared of the uncertainty that change brings. He has therefore offered a refreshing perspective that other people, who are fearful of change, can struggle to offer.

Alan’s holistic approach worked brilliantly for me. I’m been self-employed for two decades and haven’t had any professional development support in that time. I was working point of exhaustion, mental shut-down.

I went to see Alan earlier this year when I was going through a difficult time. I was pretty apprehensive about counselling but he came very highly recommended by a friend. I felt a huge sense of relief immediately after I saw him for the first time. Alan is kind, easy going, very intelligent and incredibly insightful.

Alan is a very considerate and well-informed counsellor. He has a very stable and highly professional approach to the therapy he conducts. I became a client of Alan’s 5 years ago when he helped me with some issues around self-control and self esteem, with great success. I then saw him again within the last 12 months when I found myself in very deep water, emotionally, having repeated some old mistakes. I needed to find the courage to make some life changing decisions and he helped me to gently “let go” and trust with a number of insightful and varied techniques. His considerable patience and non-judgmental approach has helped set me on a new and more positive path. I feel like I have some very useful tools in my tool-kit for the rest of the journey ahead. I am very grateful. Thank you, Alan!    

His experienced and flexible approach also helped me develop more productive ways of dealing with stressful situations. I have no hesitation in recommending him for others who feel life or job coaching may be beneficial.

His patience and integrity gave me the courage to examine some painful experiences, and together we established a base from which I could re-evaluate my emotions and behaviour. As a result I have been able to make some life-changing decisions with greater confidence and identify those things that are really important to me. A liberating experience. Thank you Alan.

Alan offers a fantastic service. Our meetings were always well structured, calm, thought provoking and left me feeling energised.
