Welcome
Counselling and Therapy in Southsea and Portsmouth
Are you grappling with a sense of unease, or searching for deeper meaning and authenticity in your life? Perhaps you're facing issues in relationships or your career that you can't quite make sense of. As an experienced relational and existential therapist in Southsea and Portsmouth, I offer a confidential and collaborative space to explore your inner world, navigate significant life transitions, and make sense of who you truly are. I guide clients through challenges related to identity, relationships, career, finding purpose and more. My integrated approach fosters lasting change, helping you discover your own answers at a pace that feels right for you.
Why Seek Therapy?
Psychotherapist in Southsea & Online | Sarah Adele
​Life can feel...
​​
-
Too heavy or hollow—when purpose feels elusive or fulfilment just out of reach.
-
Overwhelming—with anxiety, depression, or loneliness that persists despite efforts to feel better.
-
Repetitive—when relationships fall into unsatisfying patterns or old wounds keep resurfacing.
-
In transition—during major shifts like career changes, stage of life, or loss, leaving the future uncertain.
Therapy offers a space to explore these struggles not as problems to "fix," but as opportunities to understand yourself more deeply and move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
​
Together, we can:
-
Uncover how your past shapes your present
-
Bring unconscious patterns into awareness
-
Cultivate new ways of relating to yourself and others
If this resonates, I invite you to get in touch for a consultation or learn more about how therapy might support you.
Your Options
I work face-to-face in Southsea and Portsmouth and online with adults of any background, creed, race or orientation. I work on a weekly, long-term basis, though I am also happy to work to a set number of sessions.
You may have a specific issue, or you may want to explore more in-depth to consider patterns or broader issues. These are things that we will discuss in our introductory session, and we will also review them later in our work together, so there is always space for you to change your mind.

​
Starting Out
I offer a free 30-minute call for us to have an informal conversation. This is an opportunity for you to share a little about yourself, including whether there is something you would specifically like to focus on in therapy. This is also a great time for you to bring any questions and to experience a little of how I work.
​
This call comes with no commitment and can be a helpful first step in seeing what therapy could look like for you.

Is This For Me?
Sometimes the support of others in your life doesn't quite seem enough. Therapy is a place to honestly and openly explore your inner self and how you have come to see the world.
For many, this process includes reflecting on how they make decisions and what the main influences have been in their life. This clarity brings a new perspective, often creating more opportunities going forward.
