Peter Hutt Counselling Worthing, Brighton, Hove & OnlineHelping you make your life better

It takes courage to ask for help, so I will answer your enquiry swiftly - within an hour or so when possible and always within 24hrs.

Zoom Counselling on Weekdays including early mornings and evenings.

I can help you with a wide range of issues, including Anxiety, Bereavement, Alcohol or Drug Problems, Addiction, Depression, Trauma, Stress, or low self-esteem. Whatever it is that is troubling you, I will help you through it.

Online Counselling.

Not only is online counselling safe, it is easier, you can log on from anywhere you like and it saves you travel costs and time.

My clients say that they find online counselling just as effective as face to face therapy and in some ways it is better. Talking about difficult things can be easier when you are sitting in your own comfortable, safe place.

Talking therapy can bring up difficult emotions, so after you have counselling, surely you would prefer to be at home or in a place you have chosen rather than having to go straight out onto a public street?

I can meet you for online counselling using Zoom or Skype. Why not make a start now by arranging a no obligation, low cost (£20) first session, just to find out if you feel comfortable talking with me.

If you have any questions about online counselling, then please feel free to get in touch.

I am an Person Centred Counsellor so your counselling sessions will not be about me, they will be about you and whatever issues you would like to talk about. I will do my best to provide you with the best possible conditions, in order for you feel safe and supported and able to talk about absolutely anything you like. Whatever issues you want to explore, I will listen with empathy and without judgement, sharing my knowledge and personal experience whenever it’s appropriate to do so. By working together to enable you to make changes we will help you to find a way forward. I offer short or long-term therapy on an open ended basis.

You could be seeking counselling for a number of different reasons. It may be that you have a specific issue, such as a bereavement or a loss of a different sort, anxiety, depression, work related stress, drink or drug abuse, relationship problems, obsessive behaviour or addiction. Perhaps you experience general feelings of worthlessness or low self-esteem. Is it just that you have an underlying sense discomfort or a feeling of ‘impending doom' that you can’t seem to shift? Whatever it is that is troubling you or making you uncomfortable, I can help.

I believe that the quality of the relationship between client and counsellor is the most important factor in enabling change to take place, so I offer a low cost, no obligation introductory session. That will help you decide whether or not I’m the right counsellor for you. If you call or text me, we can start by having an informal chat contact me

As a Person Centred Counsellor (online) I will be genuine and authentic throughout our counselling relationship, I do not wear a 'counsellor hat'. I will work alongside you to find possible solutions to your problems with honesty and integrity. My personal experiences during some chaotic and difficult times in my life, along with a wide range of work experience and training help me to relate to you and to understand your struggles. Together, we will work towards seeing a way forward.


Our counselling sessions will help you understand yourself and your emotions better. One way we might do this is by identifying negative or destructive cycles in your life. We would try to find out the reasons behind them and then looking for ways to prevent them from happening over and again. At the same time we would try to identify the more positive cycles which are beneficial to your well-being. Counselling is a unique opportunity for you to discover more about yourself and what triggers the feelings or emotions that you struggle with or find difficult to understand.

If you think you have a problem with alcohol, prescription or illicit drug use, problem gambling, gaming, internet, then I will draw on my deep understanding of addiction, obsessive behaviour and the associated issues. I have personal experience of a range of addictions, alcoholism and recovery as well as being a trained alcohol and addiction counsellor. This has given me an extensive working knowledge of recovery including the 12 step program, enhanced by my time spent counselling and key-working in a well regarded Brighton and Hove residential alcohol and drug rehab.

I have a unique combination of experience both as a counsellor and in my own - sometimes turbulent - personal journey through life. My knowledge helps me to genuinely understand your difficulties and enables me to assist you in exploring personal issues and obstacles you may have, whether they are current problems, or past experiences that continue to affect you in your day to day life. Together, we will work towards strengthening your inner resources, which can improve your self-confidence and help you feel more optimistic about your future.

You might be seeking therapy because you suffered childhood abuse, trauma or abandonment. You may be struggling with generalised anxiety, a personal loss or a bereavement. Perhaps you feel generally troubled, but can't quite work out why or are living with a constant sense of unease which you can't seem to shake off.


Our counselling sessions can help you to understand some of the reasons behind reactions or feelings you experience that are bothering you. I will help you to explore anything that is affecting you, in a genuine and compassionate way. Together we will work towards finding a solution. For you to be able to see ahead more clearly.

Why not take that first step and contact me now. Text, phone or e-mail - whichever suits you. I offer a low cost first meeting with no obligation, so that you can find out if you’re comfortable talking with me. If you feel up to it, then why not call me for an informal chat or contact me by email.
