BRIGHTON THERAPY CENTRE LIMITED 

Brighton Therapy Centre provides a wide range of high quality counselling, therapy and psychological services to the people of Brighton & Hove, Hastings & Rother and the surrounding areas. We believe that all sections of the community should have access to the right kind of treatment. Our service aims to provide this and to be a centre of clinical excellence.
