Counselling in Whitstable

I see clients with a range of difficulties across the lifespan who find themselves in psychological distress and are looking for an understanding and solution to their difficulties. These difficulties may have been lifelong or more recently acquired. They may be showing clinical symptoms such as depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, or OCD as a result. They may want longer term therapy to work on themselves more deeply or they may want short term therapy that is focussed on resolving more specific issues.

All of us need to feel safe and sometimes, even those who always seem in control need someone that can really listen. Do you feel confused, stuck or worried, anxious or depressed? Do you struggle with focus, motivation and feel you just can't reach your goals? Do you need someone that can help you to make sense of what is going on for you and in your relationships? Maybe you have been waiting for ever to be seen by CAMHS or Adult Mental Health Services? Maybe you have focus and drive, but want someone to guide you to become even better at your work, sport, or relationship. Please contact me so that we can schedule a meeting.

Asking for help is not an easy step to take. The prospect of sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone else is quite a leap of faith and if you have not experienced counselling before you may be wondering what to expect. I would like to offer you a comfortable space where we can talk and get to know each other; and when you are ready, we can start to explore and make sense of your thoughts and personal difficulties, working entirely at your own pace. By exploring our past experiences and relationships we can often gain a new and fresh perspective on our issues which can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Are you going through a difficult and overwhelming time in your life right now? Are you experiencing a painful loss, or are you going through a difficult time adjusting to change? During these times, it is helpful to talk to someone who is really listening, who can come alongside you, help you to make sense of what you're feeling, and help you to find your way through. I work with young people (16+) and adults.

I have worked as a Counsellor for over 30 years and can help you if you are struggling with Relationship issues, Bereavement, Anxiety and Depression. I treat both adults and adolescents and am also interested in helping people who are generally struggling with their identity and finding meaning in life.

Many thanks for reaching out to to me. I am a qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist and offer telephone, online and face to face sessions. I have been very privileged and humbled in recent years working with individuals like yourself, in appreciating the issues and problems that you have to contend with, especially during these current trying times. I will embark on a journey with you in a supportive, safe and confidential manner. There will be times when we will share tears, laughter, silence, challenging situations and so on. Whatever happens during our developing therapeutic relationship, I will be there for you.

Feedback - Sexually Abused Client : "I started therapy feeling scared, sceptical, lost and a little bit overwhelmed, I was afraid to be vulnerable. You made me feel relaxed and welcome, and that allowed me to be so open and honest, I didn’t feel afraid anymore. A year ago, I didn’t know who I was. I felt that everyone had their own opinions and perceptions about me, and that created a discombobulated identity for me. I could have never progressed to this point without you there to guide me and challenge my thoughts and feelings. I am so grateful and thankful to you." An empathic non judgemental safe space is my utmost goal for you.

Hi, my name is Rosie Heartland. I am a recently qualified Transpersonal Arts Therapist and counsellor. In this post pandemic world, many people are suffering from anxiety, depression and the trauma brought on by not only the insecurities of these times, but also by adverse childhood experiences. Taking that leap to enter into therapy is very difficult and I understand how scary the thought of opening up to a stranger can be. I hope to offer you compassion, understanding and a listening ear, so you feel at ease within our therapeutic relationship and your well-being goals can be addressed through non-threatening Creative therapy.

Life is not easy, and if you are reading this you have probably figured out that you want to talk. Talking and being truly heard will increase your self-awareness and help you to understand what is going on for you. Experiencing trauma can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that will not go away. It can also leave you feeling numb, disconnected, and unable to trust other people as yourself. So being able to find a way through the trauma can be the reward you achieve when allow yourself to explore and work with me to find true you.

Are you or your loved ones struggling with difficulties like depression, anxiety or trauma? Do you have difficulties getting to or staying asleep? Tricky relationships or situations at work or at home can cause stress and anxiety. For your children, the difficulties could be about school and university. I enjoy working with adults and young people who are finding life a little tricky. My 30 year career in the classroom means I understand adolescents and their difficulties. My aim is to help you identify the areas that are difficult and then to find strategies and solutions to overcome these.

You matter. No matter what you've done or what you're going through, you deserve to be heard and have a safe space where you can be 100% yourself. I realise that it can be really daunting looking for a counsellor or coach to connect with and I really appreciate that you're reading my profile right now. Whatever you are going through, whatever pain, troubles, difficulties or road blocks you may be experiencing, I'd love to connect and help you look at the options available to improve your quality of life. I'm passionate about supporting my clients. Thank you again for your time and I hope that you find the support that you need.

Are you looking for a safe and confidential space, a place to help you break your silence about the challenges you face? Do you find yourself feeling like you have lost meaning in life or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships? Are you looking for answers or struggling to find alternative ways of solving your current problems? You are not alone; I will provide you with a safe, warm and non- judgmental therapeutic space, where you are not only listened too but also heard and together we can begin to explore things that come up for you.

Therapy is about releasing, self-discovery, and building a therapeutic relationship attuned to your needs which can lead to new ways of healing wounds and solving problems. I hold space for your stories, your struggles, and your growth. There is no specific framework that can fit everyone so I work with your needs and experiences. I provide both counselling and life coaching, please get in touch to have a chat about your individual needs.

My practice allows you to talk about what is on your mind and what matters in your heart. Anxiety, ruminating thoughts, tricky emotions, sadness may put you in a dark or uncomfortable place. There are ways you can modulate your feelings and find ways to normalise your life again. I work with my clients to understand their thoughts, behaviours and the emotions that drive them. My clients bring issues such as anxiety, loss, stress, trauma, relationships and addictions to sessions. They seek answers, understanding, relief, resilience, coping strategies, solutions, peace of mind, acceptance, and compassion. What is it that you need?
