Counselling in Maidstone

I am a clinical psychologist providing short and long-term therapy and autism assessments to children and adults in a private practice Kent. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where we can develop an understanding of your difficulties. I draw on a variety of psychological approaches including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural (CBT), and systemic (including narrative and solution-focused).

I have worked with children diagnosed with Autism (including PDA profile) and supported them their families for many years.

Person-centred counselling puts you at the centre of our sessions, while I guide our discussions and support you by introducing psychotherapy tools to provide structure to your thinking. The guiding purpose is to allow you to discover the best way forward for you as an individual - we are all unique. There are a number of reasons why you might want to engage in therapy and often our conversations can cover unexpected topics. I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the BACP and NCPS.

Hello, my name is Leila and I work with adults, couples and young people to explore and make sense of their issues, with a warm, empathic and non judgmental approach. My aim is to put you, the client at the heart of what I do.

Life can evoke a variety of emotions and struggles. I work with individuals and couples in Kent, London, Sussex and across the UK remotely. I care passionately about the needs of my clients to empower you to move forwards in your life wherever you path is currently at. Life is sometimes full of difficulties and uncertainties we can feel overwhelmed by loss, trauma, body image, addictions, relationship issues and problems in our workplace or home life to name a few. I work in a non-judgmental supportive manner helping you to explore & understand your thoughts & emotions. I I have some concession rates available on a sliding scale.

Welcome. Whatever has brought you to scroll these profiles, the right therapeutic relationship can help you be heard, seen and understood. The journey often starts in a place of discomfort: anxiety, bereavement, feeling lost, stuck or frustrated with repeated patterns of behaviour that you can't seem to shift (in life and relationships), physical or mental health problems or the pain of old wounds that haven't healed. These crisis moments are often a call to personal growth and development, and sometimes to find a new path in life. I can offer you a safe and non-judgemental space to explore your situation and begin to move forward.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my profile. I am an experienced BACP Accredited, offering counselling and CBT. I have a specialism in working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault; working with trauma and PTSD. I see clients with anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, bullying, gender identity, self-harm, phobias and addictions. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which to help promote growth and change.

I have worked as a counsellor and psycho sexual therapist for over 20 years and I still find it as fascinating and rewarding now as when I started. I am COSRT and Relate accredited. I work with individuals, couples, families. I aim to support my clients to clarify the issues that are hindering their development and relationships in an effective way, while developing a greater understanding of the causes of their current problems and issues. In some cases the counselling can be quite specific and goal orientated; yet with others it can be more exploratory and pastoral. Most often it can include both, depending on the need.

Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times, making us feel lonely, sad, anxious and stressed. Our thoughts can become unclear, tangled up and sometimes we just cannot stop overthinking. We can even isolate ourselves and feel like there is no way out. Counselling can be a safe and non-judgmental form of relating that might bring a positive change, more clarity and a deeper understanding of our feelings, thoughts and the ways we behave.

I am a qualified counsellor based in Maidstone offering a warm, safe, friendly and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. You may looking to seek clarity, find contentment, talk about family issues or simply breath and talk about your day. You might be experiencing anxiety and need support to talk about how it impacts on your life and explore ways of challenging some of your thinking errors. Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, I am here to listen to you.

Sometimes life can feel difficult and we may feel confused, lost or alone, even if we are surrounded by others. At times, we may struggle to cope, feeling low, anxious or overwhelmed. Being offered support to explore our difficulties and worries in a safe, confidential and empathic environment, free from judgement can help us feel less isolated and find our way again to a more hopeful and fulfilling way of being. I believe that the roots of our personal strengths often stem from difficulties we have experienced and that together, we can find what might be most helpful to you.

Life can be complicated and confusing, we can sometimes feel stuck, stressed out, anxious, depressed or just exhausted with it all. Trying to find your path out, away from negative feelings and thoughts may seem like a monumental struggle. Would you like someone to help you find your way forward? would you like somebody to help you make sense of these thoughts and feelings? I can provide you with a safe space where we can explore these feelings together. My aim is to support clients to find positive methods of coping and gain understanding to enable them to move forward with their lives.

Ind/couple/ EMDR.Therapist. There is often constant pressure in today's society, which can cause us to feel low, unhappy, anxious,overwhelmed, judged, or stressed. Life events such as loss, financial problems, devoice, retirement, long term illness, work etc. add to that pressure. This can affect our behaviour causing us to withdraw, isolate ourselves or become angry and lash out. These unhealthy behaviours and coping strategies can affect our relationships. Unresolved issues from our past can also resurface particularly trauma. I can help you feel more confident in your ability to cope and gain a more positive sense of self.

Feeling overwhelmed and struggling to make sense of stressful and emotional anguish from current or past experiences? As a counsellor, my help with you would be to explore these issues, enable you to find your answers and recognise the choices that are available to you.

More and more people are finding that counselling can help them discover their own path or journey through what can seem like a maze of issues, decisions and choices. It can help them to understand what is happening in relationships at difficult times so that they can regain a sense of meaning, balance and control in their lives.

Are you feeling anxious, angry or unappreciated? Perhaps your mood has been low for a while and you can’t seem to shift that feeling. Sometimes life events such as trauma, loss, abuse, family problems or work issues can leave us feeling helpless. Perhaps you are considering help to untangle your thoughts. Maybe you think a lot about things that have happened in the past that still affect you. Sometimes there may be a sense that life is lacking in meaning and direction. We can all lose sight of who we really are and what we want from life

Sometimes life can feel like a struggle, provoking anxiety, distress and confusion. You may feel that something needs to change, but are unsure of which direction to take. Maybe you already know what you need but would welcome a little support and clarity to enable you to move forward. Perhaps you have experienced a significant life event, either recently or in the past, that has derailed you? Bereavement, relationships, work and health are among the many concerns that can be de-stabilising. Counselling can help to untangle past or current concerns that are causing you to feel low or isolated.

I work with individuals and couples on a short and long-term basis, online and face to face from my private practice.

Hi I am person centred counsellor, this means I accept and support you to explore ways to help you overcome any uncomfortable or traumatic emotions you may be experiencing. Sometimes we have experiences in life that can be overwhelming or we just can’t make sense of the events that may have happened to us. Many people may need answers from others and this may never happen, therefore exploring these questions within in a safe place can allow us to have acceptance to help start the healing process and give us back a sense of empowerment.

My name is Jacqueline and I qualified as a counsellor in 2008. I have since worked with a wide variety of issues such as bereavement, anxiety, low self worth, lack of confidence, addiction, relational issues such as couples, autism, understanding self concept, shyness and much more. I believe that the professional working relationship between the counsellor and client is of fundamental importance as it provides opportunities in which change can occur. For that reason I provide a free assessment of your needs. Also meeting myself prior to engaging in any counseling will help you to decide if I would be the right counsellor for you.
