Gary Jessop – Compassionate Support for Adults
I'm Gary Jessop, a professional counsellor based in Brighton and Hove, working across Sussex and online throughout the UK. I provide counselling for adults in a calm, confidential space where you can slow down and feel genuinely heard.

Walking side by side can feel:
Walk and Talk therapy works well for both men and women, offering movement, fresh air, and conversation in a supportive and steady way.

I also provide Corporate Wellbeing and in-house workplace counselling across Sussex — supporting staff mental health, morale, and sustainable performance.
When people feel supported, organisations thrive.
Grief does not only follow death. Loss can include relationships, identity, career change, or life transitions.
You don't need to rush your process. Counselling offers space to explore grief with warmth, patience, and respect.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or have been affected by suicide, you are not alone.
Counselling can provide a safe, confidential space to speak openly about how you're feeling — without judgement, shame, or pressure.
Please note:
I am not an emergency counselling service, and it may take time to arrange an initial appointment.
