When Words Fail: The Power of Being Heard
What Happens in Couples Therapy? For many couples, the thought of therapy can feel…
When relationships feel strained or communication has broken down, the impact can ripple across generations. Whether you’re navigating conflict, loss, distance, or long-standing emotional pain, therapy offers a compassionate, confidential space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
I work with individuals and couples — supporting them to move beyond blame and reactivity, toward greater understanding, honesty, and emotional safety.
Welcome — I’m Kate Gilbert
I’m a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with over 30 years’ experience, working with individuals and couples in Hove and online.
Life presents emotional challenges — from communication breakdowns and anxiety to loss and trauma. Therapy can be a meaningful way to explore what’s going on and discover new ways of relating — both to yourself and others.
With a background in languages and a long-standing interest in unconscious communication, I bring a depth of attention to what’s spoken — and unspoken — in the therapy room.
My work is grounded in psychoanalysis, Gestalt, and mind-body understanding.
specialisms
In addition to my core practice, I specialise in supporting individuals who are experiencing the effects of narcissistic abuse and complex PTSD (C-PTSD). My approach provides a safe, compassionate space to process difficult experiences, rebuild self-confidence, and move towards healing and resilience.
LOCATION & AVAILABILITY
I see clients face-to-face at my practice in Hove, East Sussex, and also offer online therapy for those further afield. I do not work on Saturday or Sunday and I tend to offer a lot of flexibility during the week when it comes to times as I work in variable time zones when online.
