Aaron Swartz MBACP, SEP Counselling, Psychotherapy & Somatic Experiencing & Heart Healing ™️ 
for Brighton & Hove & Lewes.

Psychotherapist, Couple Counsellor for Hove & Brighton & Lewes

My name is Aaron.

I am a Buddhist and & Psychotherapist based  in Brighton & Hove & Lewes.

I have been seeing, Adults, young people and couples in Brighton & Hove & Lewes for the past 17 years.

I provide a safe and confidential space, be able to talk and work through your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non judgemental and confidential setting. 

I offer a unique blend of Counselling, Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Heart Healing, Comprehensive Resource Model, and Meditation, that suits you.

I provide face-to-face, (or on Zoom) Counselling, Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Heart Healing™️ & Comprehensive Resource, to anyone experiencing a range of emotional issues, with the aim of enabling you to live your life fully and become happy

We can meet face to face or online (Zoom or Skype)

Sometimes Counselling and Psychotherapy is all someone will need to get to a better, more balanced place.

But sometimes it is not enough.

I am finding more and more people are finding ‘Talk Therapy’ not enough.

So many of our behaviours and responses are rooted in our bodies responses.

Often ‘talking’ is not enough to get to the root cause of our issues.

Hence why I offer ​​Somatic Experiencing® and Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) and Heart Healing ™️

These are powerful body based therapy's, that are capable of relieving physical, emotional and psychological shock, stress and trauma.

They help mobilise the body's innate self-healing systems - the same physiological processes that mend broken bones and fight disease.

Each one of us is an individual and therefore it is necessary to find the right approach that will suit you.

I therefore, if necessary, combine Counselling, Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Comprehensive Resource Model & Heartt Healing™️, into a holistic approach that is individual and will suit your needs.

I know choosing a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencer ( SEP) & Heart Healer, is not easy.

You need to find someone you can trust.

The first session is an opportunity for you to see if I'm right for you.

After our first session you will know if you wish to work with me.

Doing Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) allowed me to visit past trauma that I wasn’t even aware of. Aaron’s skill as a therapist allowed me to heal these past traumas. I’m ever so grateful. Thanks Aaron’

55 year old Male

‘Thanks Aaron for everything you have done. For years I’ve felt so withdrawn and frightened of large social groups. It’s been excruciating! Slowly over the time of therapy I began to feel more relaxed and able to socialise. Doing parts work was particularly helpful. I’m now kinder and more loving to myself . I can’t believe it, I’m actually looking forward to the future! Thanks again’

37 year Female.

‘I wanted to say thanks again so much for all your help over these last few months. I have really enjoyed the sessions we've had, even when (as often) they've been challenging, emotional or painful! You created an environment that enabled me to feel relaxed and safely vulnerable, and i found you to be be kind, understanding and completely non-judgemental. In short you were exactly the kind of therapist I'd hoped I would meet but wasn't sure existed, having never had therapy before!‘
