All enquiries are treated with care and confidentiality, and initial conversations are always welcome.
Please get in touch by email, phone, or by completing the contact form below. Where possible, include the age of the young person and a brief summary of the difficulties you would like support with.
Navigating Early Adulthood
Young adulthood, from the late teens to mid-twenties, is often marked by significant life transitions - moving away from home, starting university or work, and forming adult relationships. These changes can bring opportunities but also uncertainty, anxiety, and emotional strain.
Young Adult Psychotherapy offers a confidential space to reflect, understand, and work through difficulties that may feel overwhelming. Sessions can take place face-to-face in Eastbourne or online, depending on what best supports the individual’s needs and lifestyle.
Developing Self-Understanding and Growth
Child and Adolescent Psychotherapists are trained to work with young people up to the age of 25. This specialised training supports a deep understanding of developmental stages and the emotional challenges unique to early adulthood.
By offering a reflective and consistent space, psychoanalytic psychotherapy encourages self-awareness and long-term emotional growth - helping young adults move forward with clarity, confidence, and balance.
How Does It Work?
Therapy with young adults often involves talking and reflection. The psychotherapist helps identify the emotional patterns behind problems such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, or relationship difficulties, and supports the young person in understanding how these experiences developed.
By exploring these themes safely, psychotherapy helps reduce distress and promote new ways of thinking and relating. This can lead to increased emotional resilience, confidence, and the ability to manage future challenges more effectively.
Many young adults find psychotherapy helpful for:
-
Anxiety, panic, or overthinking
-
Depression and low motivation
-
Relationship and intimacy difficulties
-
Life transitions (university, work, independence)
-
Identity and self-esteem concerns
