Phoenix Therapy Practice opened in April 2019 and is a not for profit, Community Interest Company. We offer a wide range of psychological therapies to clients seeking help with mild, moderate and severe mental health problems. Our aim is to provide high quality counselling and therapy at low cost depending upon the circumstances of each individual client. We do this by providing supervised placements to trainee therapists who see clients at a low-cost fee, and by obtaining grant funding in order to subsidise sessions for clients needing to see experienced practitioners. Our community of 45 practitioners work together to enhance the development of the service and the inter-relationships within the organization, through regular business meetings, process groups and discussion groups. We operate from our self-contained premises at 2 Osmond Road, Hove and in July 2024 we will be taking on a 2nd building (14 St George’s Place, Brighton). Our income comes via room rental and grants.
Phoenix Therapy Practice is committed to inclusion and diversity and actively encourages applications from people from a variety of backgrounds, and with a range of skills and experiences. We are particularly interested to hear from those from Black or Minority Ethnic Communities who are currently under-represented in the organisation.
