About us

Ochre House is the home of UMEUS CIC and a creative collective based in a therapeutic space in the heart of Hove. Since 2015, we’ve been committed to supporting parents, carers and families in Brighton & Hove and beyond.

Approach

Counselling and Talking Therapies are steeped in psychological, sociological and sometimes mythical histories that at times can shroud the profession.

There can be confusion about what exactly it is that counsellors or psychotherapists do. Are they ‘just listening’ or are they ‘analysing’ and exactly what makes them the ‘expert’.

These are valid questions to raise, and we’re glad to explore any doubts that may arise.

We are transparent about our process, so we can focus on supporting our clients.

At Ochre House our therapists are trained in modalities which value self-awareness and self-realisation.

Our approaches are grounded in offering each of our clients, a space to explore their own creativity, growth, compassion and psychological understanding.

After completing an online self-referral form we invite clients for an initial consultation. This gives an opportunity to meet a therapist and explore some of what is being experienced.

All our counselling therapists are either BACP, UKCP or HCPC registered and hold Disclosure and Baring Certificates.
