Standard membership with the Palmeira Practice (PP) is for therapists who wish to either locate their private practice at our consulting rooms in Brighton & Hove, or who would like to use our rooms as well as work online or from their own private practice room at home. We fully support a hybrid practice if that is something you are interested in.

Our rooms are located on Wilbury Road on the boarder of Brighton & Hove. They are cleanly decorated and sympathetically furnished, close to transport links and with near-by on-street metered parking. The rooms are designed to be the perfect space for therapy work and we offer some of the best rates in Brighton & Hove for combined consulting room hire and referral marketing. Our rooms are perfect for one-to-one counselling, couple counselling, clinical supervision, and small groups.

  • Room hire is for a minimum of 4 hours per week

  • Evening bookings Monday to Thursday must be in a single block of 4 hours (4-8pm or 5-9pm); outside of these times the minimum hours can be split in blocks of 2-hours over multiple days, by arrangement
