Chronic Pain
Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
Not all pain has its origin in the physiology of the body. Pain can be psychological and this can manifest in the body. There is ample scientific evidence for effectiveness of therapy in helping people manage the pain both physical and psychological. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Chronic Pain
Dr George Booty. The PsychoTRAUMA Clinic (Convergence College of Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
I have helped those suffering chronic pain through hypnotherapy and developmental ways to improve the mind to control pain thresholds and even suppress pain at their root nerve, muscle, or somatic or physical fibre levels. Also to help reframing a negative outlook to one of a more positive hope for the future.

Chronic Pain
Claire de la Varre
Therapist, PhD, HGDipP
When you have chronic pain or illness, you have to deal with the pain/illness itself as well as the range of negative emotions associated with having a chronic condition. The good news is that hypnotherapy and other mind-body techniques are effective at managing chronic pain, reducing stress, so you can rebuild your coping skills.

Chronic Pain
Alison Edwards Therapy & Supervision
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I’m experienced in working with long-term pain or physical health conditions which have taken a long time to be diagnosed or been difficult to manage. I provide the main recommended psychological therapies for these difficulties - CBT and ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) - and also Compassion-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. Sessions are tailored for the individual's needs, including ADHD or other neurodivergence. The conditions I see include blackouts/non-epileptic seizures, Functional Neurological Disorders, Functional Pain Syndromes, gut disorders, urinary tract problems, post-viral fatigue, ME, Long Covid, and chronic skin conditions. I'm a committee member for a UK-wide expert group on Long-term physical health conditions, non-epileptic seizures, Functional Neurological Disorders and medically unexplained symptoms, with my professional body the BABCP. I presented a poster at the BABCP Annual Conference in July 2026.

Brighton has one of the largest and most visible LGBTQ+ communities in the United Kingdom, and its therapy community reflects this — with high demand for affirming therapists who specialise in queer identity, non-traditional relationship structures, gender diversity, and the intersection of LGBTQ+ experience with mental health. The city's two universities — the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex — generate significant student mental health demand and a progressive, intellectually engaged population that generally views therapy favourably. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a strong private therapy community concentrated in the Lanes, Kemptown, and Hove. Brighton's coastal character and arts-oriented culture support a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs around identity, purpose, and economic precarity.
