Southsea - LGBT Relationship Counselling
Southsea was the next host for LGBT Couple Counselling, after Portsmouth. The growth of Hampshire's LGBT Exclusive service moved us into The Marple Cross (Therapy) Centre along Osborne Road (PO5).

The History
After leaving Portsmouth’s Charterhouse Counselling around 2011/12, I centred my LGBT Couple Counselling practice within The Marple Cross Centre, Southsea.
The Southsea location allowed me to branch out with additional counselling services (now that I was attaining qualifications in couple work and group work). The Marple Cross Centre was also accessible by wheelchair users, with the offices located on the ground floor.
My services remain accessible to Southsea and surrounding areas of Hampshire (Gosport, Portsmouth, Hayling Island) via my LGBT Counselling Services over Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, Google Meet or (the now defunct) Skype (click that button!).

Finding Southsea LGBTQ+ Support
My counselling services were located within The Marple Cross Centre, located on the coast of South Hampshire, just 5 minutes walk from the beach (Osborne Road, Southsea, PO5). A single-story set of offices with four counselling rooms all on the ground floor, all wheelchair-accessible.
Southsea was my second private counselling practice location in Hampshire.
After working within The Marple Cross Centre for a handful of years, I came to join the management team as co-director. We enhanced the services that the therapy centre provided to the local Portsmouth & Southsea region, and introduced a very powerful, and free, website-based: “Find a Therapist” service. Find a Therapist combined all the data we had on all private therapists associated with our Centre. The website presented a friendly interface, which one used to indicate personal ailments, and obtain a list of suggested therapists who could help. Bookings could be made within minutes. The service was queried by local Hampshire residents seeking therapy over 100,000 times during its lifetime.
Eventually, The Marple Cross Centre served its purpose and the management team decided to close and move to separate practices within Hampshire.
My next location was to establish Waterlooville Counselling, some five/six miles north of Portsmouth & Southsea and Cosham.

💚 Why Dean's Counselling Fees are lower than Other Counselling Services
Bearing in mind that Dean is a fully qualified couples counsellor, having 26 years' experience as a counsellor (incorporating 16 years as a postgraduate systemic relationship counsellor), and practising online for 18 years, the level and experience of Dean's practice is comparable with what some organisations term a "senior couples therapist", except that his fees for his own private practice do not include the same kinds of organisational overheads nor London "weighting" that is passed on to you within the fees of other services.
