Hi, my name is Judith Lewis and I am a Behaviour Specialist based in Brighton and Hove. Our company, The Orange Pod Ltd, is one of only a few in the UK who are completely independent and privately funded. As the founder and director, I combine running an ethical and energised company specialising in changing behaviour, with seeing private clients and holding select group engagements. We offer a range of services and beautiful specialists, all of whom are passionate about empowering individuals and parents in managing behaviour and seeing whole families thrive. For over 2 decades, I have worked with children, young people, families and institutions to discover the most effective ways of influencing behaviour changes. This affords me a unique insight into my client’s needs. Drawing from psychological and counselling background, specific and ongoing training plus experience in understanding exactly the precise need, each individual client is coached using both well researched and bespoke strategies to see immediate general and long term specific improvements. Your family’s situation can be dramatically improved. Our approach is successful when working with both individuals, families and groups.

Being an Integrative Counsellor / Psychotherapist means that I work collaboratively with clients; utilising aspects of several different psychological approaches (person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Cognitive -behavioural, solution- focused and Creative Arts) to suit the varying needs of each individual.

Anxiety disorders
Depression
Eating disorders
Family dynamics
Isolation
Identity issues
Loss and bereavement
Low self-esteem
Life changes and transitions

Relationship issues
Sexuality

Trauma.
I am a warm, empathic person who can offer you a safe, confidential space in which to explore your issues, whatever they may be, at your own pace.

My name is Joe James and I'm Autistic. I was diagnosed 5 years ago when I was 32. Life was always hard because I didn't fit in and I didn't know why. But recently people have started to accept me but I still feel down sometimes. In the Autumn of 2018 I got into photography. It became my “special interest” and I bought my camera in September. I did this because I had slipped into a depression due to my anxiety. It helped me focus on doing something positive and take my mind off the negative. Along with mindfulness and the love and support of my amazing wife and beautiful children I was able to come out of the tunnel into the light.
