Lizzie Gilbert Counselling
 

A highly qualified accredited therapist with 12 years counselling experience with adults.

I’m an Accredited practitioner with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I trained for four years in London at City Lit to become a Humanistic Person-Centred counsellor.

My counselling experience has included working for a bereavement counselling service in Ealing and in a further education college in Brighton. I have been in private counselling practice in Lewes since 2016 and in Brighton since 2025. I work in rooms in the Open Door Health Clinic off the High Street and at Brighton Therapy Rooms in Central Brighton. I also offer online therapy.

I have twice monthly clinical supervision for my practice which supports my work, this is a requirement for all counsellors in the UK.

I develop my practice and keeps up to date with current research by attending continuing professional development and specialist workshops/ training throughout the year. I belong to a Person Centred therapy community group which extends my knowledge and understanding of the approach and current developments in the field.
