Leah Jones
Electrologist – Permanent hair removal
Hello, I am Leah and I specialize in permanent hair removal through the use of Electrolysis. As someone who has suffered from unwanted hair, I fully understand the embarrassment and anxiety it can cause. However, it was not until my teenage daughter starting showing signs of anxiety from having problems with facial hair that I started to look into permanent hair removal.
After trying a number of different treatments with varying degrees of failure we eventually discovered electrolysis. The results were amazing and within a few months most of the unwanted hairs on her face were significantly reduced and best of all, not growing back.
At the start of the treatment we were living in Canada and on coming back to England, finding an electrologist capable of achieving consistent results was very difficult. I decided there was a real need to provide a high quality and sympathetic electrolysis service for permanent hair removal nearer to home and that is how my journey into Electrolysis began.
I know first-hand the anxiety and embarrassment that unwanted hair can cause and will do everything in my power to help you achieve your goals within a safe, caring and relaxed environment.

Zola Campbell
My name is Zola Campbell, and I am a BACP registered Humanistic counsellor.
I offer a safe and trustworthy space in which we can explore how it feels to be you. I hope to journey alongside you, not as an expert that has all the answers but as someone that can provide greater awareness and understanding of life’s gifts and challenges.
As a humanistic counsellor, I have a deep trust in the autonomy, uniqueness, and inner resources of the individual. I’ve found that this perspective, in both the short- and long-term, caters to a wide range of emotional issues as well as but not limited to: Life transitions, relationship issues, finding meaning and direction in life, addictions, low self-esteem, creativity, sexuality and sexual abuse.
The relationship we build together will enable curiosity and compassion to thrive and create the space and time for exploration and healing.

Marie Claridge
Counsellor
Hi I’m Marie. I am a professional and friendly counsellor for individuals 16 and over. I offer face to face sessions in Chichester and Petersfield.
We all experience problems in life, and sometimes they can feel too big to carry alone. Talking things through with someone and expressing yourself can help you to understand your feelings and thoughts: enabling you to heal and grow. I will work alongside you to create a unique relationship that is helpful to you. Supporting you in finding ways to manage and move forward. My own life experience and working with others has shown me how beneficial this can be. I appreciate that we are all different so I engage with a combination of therapeutic techniques within the humanistic approach and can work with you on a long or short term basis.
I have worked with a wide range of issues, I am trauma informed and have also worked with individuals from military/service families. I am fully insured and a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
When looking for a counsellor, it’s important to find the right fit for you. Call or email me – we can meet in person for a free 30 minute chat to explore how we can work together.
Shanti Cussans
Counsellor
I have worked as a counsellor for the past 10 years. Through this time, I have developed an effective means of supporting clients in crisis. I specialise in obesity depression, anxiety and addictions.
Working Humanistically means clients can explore their whole life experience, rather than singular blocks, particularly combining the past ,present and future if needed instead of concentrating on one specific area, helping you to gain a more complete understanding of the underlying issues related to these difficulties. My experience of working with clients over a 9 year period has shown me that this is one of the most effective methods of fostering lasting change.
You may have considered counselling as a way forward, but have been unsure of what it involves. Taking the steps to find a counsellor could be one of the most important, and possibly life changing decisions you will make.
Darren Gadd
Integrative Counsellor
Hello my name is Darren, I am a friendly and professional counsellor, working with people 18 and over. I offer a warm and safe environment in which individuals can feel safe to share their feelings.
I am an Integrative counsellor and a member of the British association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. What is Integrative counselling? Integrative counselling takes skills and theories from multiple forms of counselling and tailors them in a way that works for each persons individual needs.
We all face difficulties in life and I believe that working together we can find the answers that work best for you. I believe it is important that you find the right counsellor for you so I offer a free telephone consultation so we can agree on how we can best work together and how you would like to move forward.
I offer face to face sessions in Chichester. I look forward to hearing from you.
Lucy Gambrill
Counsellor
I am Lucy and I have been a counsellor since 2010.
Why counselling? You may be experiencing thoughts and feelings that are causing you distress and preventing you from living a full and grounded life. Speaking with someone who is not part of your family gives you the space to be truly heard and by developing a strong counselling alliance we can focus on specific issues in the broader context of your everyday life.
Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes and can be weekly or sometimes fortnightly. During the first session, we will talk about how we might work together and explore any concerns you may have. Therapy can be short term, for a few sessions or longer term depending on your needs.
I work as an integrative counsellor which means that I use different theoretical approaches and I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and they have put together some helpful information about what happens in therapy which you can read about here.
I have experience of working with clients through Bereavement and Loss, Low self-esteem, Anger, Trauma, Abuse, Anxiety, Depression, Covid related issues such as Social isolation and loneliness, End of life issues and Lack of Confidence.
Working in nature, in a natural environment can be particularly beneficial. I am increasingly working outside in a natural setting and offering clients the opportunity to discover the emotional, psychological and physical benefits of outdoor therapy. The mental health charity ‘MIND’ has put together some information about this which you can read here.

Shari A. Jessie
Person-Centred psychotherapy and counselling
Person-centred psychotherapy and counselling is grounded in the idea that people are self-motivated to ‘live their best lives’ if the conditions around them are supportive. When relationships have empathic understanding, genuine and authentic communication, and acceptance of the other person, people feel more inclined to be honest to themselves about themselves and to seek new and more constructive ways of living.
I am an American born and US/UK trained person-centred therapist and I have wanted to help people in some way for as long as I can remember. I provide a confidential, empathetic and non-judgmental, but also honest and real space for you to explore what’s going on for you. You take the lead in the work that we do together, and I will adapt my practice to meet your individual needs.
I am a registered member of the BACP which means that I adhere to their guidelines, ensuring I work with you in a committed, confidential, and ethical way. I approach my practice with sensitivity, humour and compassion. Being a part of your journey to feeling and living the way you want would be my absolute privilege. Let’s work together to figure out what’s getting in the way of that.
I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation to see if we could be a good fit. So, please get in touch.

Louise Mahoney
Humanistic counsellor/psychotherapist
I qualified with a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling in 2011. I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also a qualified and experienced clinical supervisor undertaking one to one and group supervision sessions.
I have a person-centred approach and I believe that we each have the innate ability to move forward but at times, accessing this ability can feel impossible. Thinking about having counselling is a major and sometimes daunting first step but is a brave move forward. Mental health can be fragile, but in therapy, by gaining an understanding of how we work as individuals and what may be going on for us internally can be illuminating and help us to grow. I see the counselling relationship as a journey made together to explore, discover and to unearth hidden resources. Working creatively with words, art and nature can also support change and re-ignite hope.
I have a wide experience of working with trauma, both with adults and young people. The impact of trauma often goes unacknowledged and is misunderstood by others. Additionally, I work in the areas of loss, abuse, relationships, anxiety, eating disorders, self harm and depression.

Flora de Quincey
Psychotherapeutic Counsellor & Reiki Master
Registered member of the BACP
I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor in private practice and work with young people, adults, families and couples. I provide flexible sessions and tailored therapeutic workshops either face to face or via Zoom.
I can assist you in gaining insight & understanding into your history to help you make clearer decisions about your future. As we work together to understand the way you are, the easier it will be for you to make decisions in order to make your life, career and relationships happier, more balanced and more empowered.
In therapy, you will have a unique chance to be authentic without self-censorship or consideration of others; where the focus is solely on you. As there are so few chances to encounter this kind of interaction, it acts as a powerful catalyst for change and transformation.
Psychotherapeutic or psychodynamic counselling works holistically in addressing both the root of the issue and its symptoms. The effects are long-lasting because while we are working through your issues, you will also develop tools to help you deal with unknown future events.
Further information regarding my experience, feedback and fees is on my website www.floradequincey.com Please feel free to contact me for more information, to arrange a free 15 minute chat or to book an initial session.
I am experienced in working within the LGBTQ+ community.

Silvia Russo
Systemic Thinking Psychotherapy and Counselling
Relational systemic therapy is usually associated with family therapy, but this assumption is not always true.
Relational systemic therapy also targets individuals to groups to couples or problems in work contexts.
What these types of therapies have in common is the focus on the problematic context and not only on the intrapsychic.
I am a relational systemic psychotherapist of Italian origin and currently reside in Chichester.
I am enrolled at the BCAP and follow their instructions regarding the conduct of psychotherapy and counselling.
I offer therapy sessions online via Skype or Zoom or face to face.
If you are an adult who is going through a difficult time, if you have couple problems or you think your family needs empathic and non-judgmental support, feel free to contact me.

Sarah Stephenson
Psychological therapist
I am a degree qualified and BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) accredited psychological therapist with 10 years experience of working with a range of presenting problems often resulting in symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Prior to counselling I worked in healthcare which developed my awareness for holistic care and the impact of physical illness, physical changes, and recovery. Private practice gives me the opportunity to offer flexible longer term therapy.
Fundamentally I aim to increase your self-awareness, enabling you to make your own choices based upon your individual needs, values and beliefs. Additionally I facilitate focus upon building resilience and coping to face challenges and difficulties moving forward.
I experience every session with everyone as new and unique. I talk with candour and care and I place labels to the side allowing you autonomy and individuality in reaching your goals and future coping.
Therapy need not be the last resort but rather a reflection of great self care, health priority and development. It is separate to other relationships in your life, allowing freedom to speak without hesitation and fear of judgement or advice. Therapy is unique.
Jo Taylor-Jones
MA Psychotherapeutic Counselling, PGDip Person-centred Counselling, MBACP (Registered).
Qualified 2009, Registered 2013, lecturer in counselling since 2010 and currently Senior Lecturer on the BA (Hons) Humanistic Counselling at University of Chichester. Previous roles include addictions counselling for CRI and student counselling for University of Winchester.
I work from an integrative/ pluralistic Humanistic approach which means that I feel your view on the world is important, you already have the tools within you to make great changes, and by exploring your experience together in the ways that suit you best we can get somewhere helpful.
With particular experience in addictions, identity, abuse, depression, not quite knowing what’s ‘wrong’, 18-25s, bereavement and loss, self-esteem and relationships, I am here to listen without judgement to whatever you want to bring. If I feel you’d be best helped by a specialist or group in a particular area I can assist with that too.
Sarah Quarrie
Counsellor/Psychotherapist MBACP.
Taking the step to seek counselling can feel daunting, especially if you are unsure about what sort of help you need. Talking things through in a safe and confidential space with a trained outsider can be life-changing and doesn’t need to be a last resort. I believe that therapy is the most important form of self-care and I often hear clients say they wished they had started sooner.
I’m an experienced psychotherapist and a registered member of The British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP). I work with people presenting with a range of difficulties including early trauma, grief, anxiety, abuse, self-harm, relationship problems, eating disorders and depression.
I offer short and long-term face-to-face sessions in my room. For those people that prefer being outdoors or perhaps find traditional face-to-face therapy unnerving, I also offer walking therapy. Being in nature is known to release endorphins and that combined with the act of walking and talking can really help with processing your thoughts and feelings.
Most importantly I offer people the opportunity to experience a non-judgemental, confidential, and safe environment to explore things that may feel hard to navigate alone.
I offer a free 15 minute chat to discuss how we might be able to work together so please do get in touch if you are considering counselling.

I am also a Bioresonance Practitioner, I use the Quantum Scio, which is a health screening system which helps in giving indicators as to the imbalances in the body. e.g vitamin deficiences. I love what I do and am passionate about helping others to have a happier and healthier life.
Homeopathy is used to treat many different health issues including if you are feeling generally unwell, run down or lethargic, feeling your off balance or off quilter. Homeopathy does not interfere or conflict with allopathic medicines and works well alongside conventional medicine. I combine the Quantum SCIO Bioresonance and Homeopathy when treating patients. Some patients prefer homeopathic treatment on its own and some come and see me for the Quantum SCIO Bioresonance, e.g to test for allergies, vitamin and allergy deficiencies.
I treat adults aswell as new born infants and children. As a Paediatric Homeopath, I often work with both parents and children. If you would like to have homeopathic treatment for your family, we can work out a package that suits you and your family.

Janet Philip
Reflexologist, Zone Face Lift practitioner, massage therapist and reiki practitioner
I have been a reflexologist since 2006 and massage and beauty therapist since 2012. I like to combine different modalities in order to provide the most efficient treatment to help someone out of pain and towards better health, physically and emotionally.
I am a qualified Zone Face Lift practitioner, having studied with Ziggie Bergman at the London School of Reflexology. While this revolutionary new method has been dubbed ‘the natural alternative to Botox’, it is in fact much more than a beauty treatment, combining ancient and modern healing and sculpting techniques. It incorporates advanced facial reflexology, Japanese facial massage and the use of tools such as gua sha and quartz crystals to help lift your spirit as well as your face.
I offer treatments at my private practice in Littlehampton, as well as at the Pavilion.
Clinic 51
51 is the average age at which women in the UK reach the menopause – but there may be up to fifteen years of hormonal changes in a woman’s body before she reaches the point where her periods stop. There is nothing average about the way hormones affect our lives, we are all individuals and are affected in different ways.
At Clinic51, we know that the menopause is so much more than a hot flush. The effects of the hormonal changes are wide-ranging; they can be psychological as well as physical, and vary in severity from just being inconvenient, to completely life changing. Most women begin to get symptoms in their 40’s, way before their periods stop, and not everyone gets hot flushes. The first sign is often worsening PMT in your late 30’s.
Despite affecting 50% of the population, support can be difficult to come by.
Clinic51 is a private clinic, run by GPs all of whom have developed a passion for women’s health and menopausal care and we offer evidence-based advice and treatment.
Dr Rhianydd McGlone is able to offer consultations here at The Pavilion on a Friday. If you would like more information and would like to book an appointment, please go to our website.

Ellie Sullivan
I am a yoga and meditation instructor and I am extremely passionate about the benefits that yoga can offer mind, body and spirit. I have been practising yoga for a number of years and completed a Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher training course in India in the summer of 2019. It is my mission to make yoga and meditation accessible to everybody regardless of their individual ability. More recently I became a psychology graduate and will be working as a freelance researcher exploring the benefits of mindfulness, which I will feel will go hand in hand with my teaching; allowing me to continue learning and integrating new knowledge into my classes.
Yoga is not about being flexible, it is about showing up for yourself with no expectations of how your practice should go. It is about going inward, to observe the body and mind. It allows us to become better connected to our true selves; a way of finding the best version of yourself. It is about discovering that the negative voices in our head telling us what we “can’t” or “shouldn’t” do are not true. It is about slowing down from the busy world and connecting to something greater than yourself. Yoga is the ultimate practice of love.

Over the years I have facilitated numerous antenatal, postnatal and baby massage sessions and raised two lovely children; I am hopefully awaiting grandchildren (!) I have also practised as a reflexologist, an Antenatal/postnatal exercise and Aquanatal teacher.
In 2015 I was asked to develop a new course for NCT – Baby Massage. To date I have helped nearly 100 NCT students achieve their NCT Baby Massage qualification.
I love working with babies and families, helping expectant and new parents to negotiate a special but also demanding phase of life, to the very best of their ability.
