FAQ

1. What types of counselling does Karen Baguley Therapy offer?

➤Karen Baguley Therapy offers individual counselling and couples counselling, with both online and face-to-face options. Sessions provide a supportive and confidential space to explore personal difficulties, emotional challenges and relationship concerns. Whether you are looking for help with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties or significant life changes, counselling can offer an opportunity to reflect, develop self-awareness and explore ways forward at your own pace.

2. Do you offer online counselling throughout the UK?

➤Yes. Online counselling is available to clients across the UK, allowing you to access sessions remotely without travelling to a physical location. This can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule, live outside the Lewes and Horsham areas, or simply feel more comfortable talking from your own surroundings. Online sessions offer a flexible way to access counselling support wherever you are in the UK, subject to availability and suitability.

3. Where can I access face-to-face counselling in Lewes and Horsham?

➤Karen Baguley Therapy offers face-to-face counselling for people seeking in-person support in the Lewes and Horsham areas. Meeting in person may suit those who prefer a dedicated counselling environment where they can talk openly and reflect without the distractions of everyday life. If you are looking for a counsellor in Lewes, Horsham or the surrounding areas, you can get in touch with Karen to discuss available locations and appointment arrangements.

4. What is the difference between individual counselling and couples counselling?

➤Individual counselling provides a space for one person to explore their own thoughts, feelings, experiences and personal challenges. Couples counselling involves both partners working together to explore relationship difficulties, communication patterns, emotional needs and areas of conflict. While individual counselling focuses on your personal experiences, couples counselling looks at the relationship and the interactions between partners. The most suitable option depends on your circumstances and what you would like to explore.

5. Can counselling help with anxiety, stress and depression?

➤Counselling can provide a supportive environment to explore experiences of anxiety, stress and low mood. It may help you understand emotional patterns, identify contributing factors, recognise unhelpful ways of responding and consider different ways of managing difficult feelings. Everyone’s experience is different, and counselling is not a guaranteed or instant solution. Karen can provide space to explore what you are experiencing and consider an approach suited to your individual needs.

6. How does online counselling work?

➤Online counselling takes place remotely using an agreed online communication platform. You can join your session from a private and comfortable space using a suitable device with a reliable internet connection. Before your appointment, you should make sure you have a quiet environment where you can speak openly without interruptions. Online sessions allow you to access counselling without travelling and can make it easier to fit appointments around your everyday commitments.

7. Is online counselling as effective as face-to-face counselling?

➤Online and face-to-face counselling can both provide valuable opportunities to explore personal and relationship difficulties. The most suitable format depends on your preferences, circumstances, the nature of your concerns and whether online sessions are appropriate for your needs. Some people feel more comfortable speaking from home, while others prefer meeting their counsellor in person. Karen can discuss the available options with you so you can consider which format feels most suitable.

8. Are counselling sessions confidential?

➤Confidentiality is an important part of creating a safe and supportive counselling relationship. What you discuss in sessions is treated with respect and handled confidentially. However, confidentiality has professional and legal limits, particularly where there are serious concerns about someone’s safety or risk of harm. These boundaries should be explained and discussed with you as part of the counselling process, so you understand how your information is handled.

9. How many counselling sessions will I need?

➤There is no single number of counselling sessions that is right for everyone. Some people may wish to explore a specific concern over a shorter period, while others may benefit from longer-term support to work through more complex experiences or ongoing difficulties. The length and frequency of counselling will depend on your individual circumstances, preferences and goals. You can discuss your expectations with Karen and review your progress as the work develops.

10. How can I book an online or face-to-face counselling appointment?
