Counselling in Chichester

A calm, confidential space where you can feel understood.

Life can become overwhelming — anxiety, stress, trauma, or long-standing patterns that leave you feeling stuck.

You don’t have to go through it alone.

Hi, I’m David Houliston, a humanistic counsellor working alongside adults who feel lost, overwhelmed, or out of touch with their inner self.

Move at Your Own Pace, With Someone Who Really Listens

You can use our sessions to explore:

Persistent anxiety or worry
Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out
Workplace stress and pressure
Difficult childhood experiences or trauma
Autistic burnout or stress around assessment
Low self-worth, people-pleasing, or self-criticism
Feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of yourself

My approach is humanistic and person-centred, which means I meet you where you are and walk alongside you — not push, analyse, or tell you who to be.

You set the pace.
You choose what feels safe to explore.
I offer presence, steadiness, and genuine understanding.

What You Can Expect

People often come to therapy looking for:

Relief from constant anxiety
Emotional clarity
A calmer relationship with themselves
Space to process trauma safely
More confidence and self-trust
A sense of direction again

Many clients describe the experience as feeling deeply understood for the first time.

I offer in-person counselling in a quiet, comfortable space in the heart of Chichester, designed to help you feel safe and supported.

Meeting face-to-face allows for a personal connection and a calm environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.
