Psychotherapy and counselling in Lewes
I'm Thad Hickman, an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor working with adults in Lewes who feel stuck, dissatisfied, or troubled in ways that may not be easy to put into words. Many people come to therapy feeling that something in their life or relationships is not working, even if, outwardly, they appear to be managing.
I work with clients based in Lewes and the surrounding area, offering in-person sessions in central Lewes as well as online therapy where that feels more appropriate.
​
My work is grounded in an integrative and relational approach, supporting people to make sense of long-standing emotional difficulties and the meanings beneath present-day struggles. You can read more in the about me section.
Therapy in Lewes
Therapy room in central Lewes
People seek therapy at different points in their lives. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, struggling in relationships, or carrying experiences from earlier life that continue to have an impact. Some clients come with a clear focus; others arrive with questions rather than answers.
​
My work is relational and integrative, meaning I pay close attention to how your experiences, relationships, and inner world connect. Therapy offers a space to think and feel at a pace that suits you, without pressure to reach quick solutions.
Who I work with
I work with adults from Lewes and nearby areas, including people who are:
​
-
experiencing anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem
-
struggling in relationships or following relationship breakdown
-
feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about direction in life
-
dealing with loss, change, or unresolved past experiences
You do not need to be in crisis to begin therapy. Many people come because they want to understand themselves better or relate differently to others.

Next steps
If you are considering therapy in Lewes and would like to get a sense of whether working together might be helpful, I offer a free initial phone consultation - see below. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and talk briefly about what you are looking for.
If you’d find it helpful to read more about how I work and my background before getting in touch, you can visit my about me page.
Free phone consultation
The first step is for us to have a chat. I offer a 30 minute free phone consultation where we'll discuss what issues bring you to psychotherapy, I can answer any questions you may have and you'll get a sense if working with me feels right. We'll then discuss possible options moving forwards.
