Men's Counselling & Workplace Support in Brighton, Hove & Online

I'm Gary Jessop, a counsellor based in Brighton and Hove, working across Sussex and online throughout the UK. My work is grounded in compassion and respect, creating a space where you can slow down and feel truly listened to.

"Sometimes the strongest thing a man can do is ask for help."

I have a particular focus on supporting men through stress, burnout, grief, and life's pressures — but women are always warmly welcome too.

Life can feel heavy at times - work pressures, relationship difficulties, burnout, bereavement, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. You don't have to carry it alone.

Counselling with me isn't about fixing you. It's about giving yourself permission to pause, notice how you feel, and explore what's going on in a safe and supportive environment. You don't need to be in crisis to come to counselling. Many people come simply because something feels 'off,' or because they want to take better care of themselves.

My approach is simple: I believe counselling works best when it feels warm and human. The word "Blended" reflects the flexibility in how sessions can take place, depending on what supports you best. You can choose from in-house sessions at the Float Spa, online, by phone, or Walk and Talk sessions (by the beach or on the South Downs). This flexibility allows you to receive support in a way that suits you, with careful attention given to the relationship we build, so you can feel heard and understood.

I understand that some people like to read bullet points, or prefer to have more information before reaching out. With this in mind, I've created a Bullet Point tab, plus the normal tabs with more information — so please choose what is right for you.
