Hello and Welcome

I’m Anna Lurot, a Senior Counselling Psychologist with almost 20 years of experience and the founder of West Sussex Psychology Ltd. I specialize in providing mental health therapy and assessments for children, young people, and adults. I have extensive experience working with people suffering from a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, panic attacks, PTSD, trauma, and other emotional struggles. My approach is both confident and compassionate, focusing on understanding and addressing the unique challenges each individual faces. I’m passionate about helping people find clarity, heal from their past, and move forward with confidence.

Highly Qualified in Complex Cases & Neurodiversity

I have spent several years working in a complex CAMHS setting and also provided support in crisis services during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences have equipped me with the confidence and skills to work with challenging cases. I truly enjoy this aspect of my work. During my time in CAMHS, I also gained significant experience in assessing for autism and ADHD. This work has allowed me to develop a strong expertise in adapting therapy to meet the needs of neurodiverse individuals, ensuring a tailored approach that works for each person’s unique circumstances.

How We Work: A Collaborative Approach

How We Work: A Collaborative Approach

Our work together will begin with a thorough assessment to gain a deep understanding of your unique circumstances, strengths, and areas of difficulty. From there, we’ll explore your goals and concerns to create a treatment plan that reflects your individual needs. Therapy is a partnership, and we believe in working closely with you to determine the best way forward. Whether we take a structured approach or something more flexible, we are committed to ensuring that the process works for you. Thanks to our broad and comprehensive training, we can draw from various therapeutic methods, including CBT, EMDR, narrative therapy, and other evidence-based therapies. This flexibility allows us to tailor a plan that is truly suited to you, fostering lasting, positive change.

  • "I just wanted to say a very big thank you for all your help in helping E. deal with her OCD worries. After your call last night, E. was sad as she said she was going to miss seeing you and having her chats with you. E. and I are both grateful for your support. Thank you."

    Mother of patient E.

  • "We just wanted to pass on our thanks and recognition for the amazing work that Anna did with our teenage son H. and the OCD/perfectionist issues he was experiencing. She was able to create such a good working relationship with him; her tools, kind manner, and explanations were very effective and he is in such a good place, feeling confident that he knows how to control and counter his thoughts should they arise again in the future. He is currently sitting GCSEs and it’s great to see him dealing with things in such a positive way – it has made a massive difference."

    Parents of patient H.

  • "Therapy with Anna gave me all these strategies for managing my anxiety. I’m using them a lot. I think I finally really understand what she meant about doing things even though I feel anxious and quite often I can actually do that now."

    Patient He.

  • "I very much felt comfortable with Anna from the moment I finished my first counselling. This speaks volumes because I often found it difficult to felt heard by my counsellor, but with Anna I felt her genuine interest in me and wanting to help me. Her techniques suited me well, trying to understand my past and link it to my present so I could truly understand more about myself. I would very much recommend Anna to anyone looking to find some support."

    Patient G.

  • "We definitely found our sessions with you tremendously helpful and we're so grateful for your help navigating as we transition to this new phase of life! And it's so reassuring that, as things continue to change and evolve, we now know how to contact you in the future."
