Counselling in Margate

Hello and welcome. I’m here to help you find the inner strengths you need to unblock what’s troubling you and move on with your life. My clients tell me I’m warm, kind and insightful – which is good, because my main aim is to offer a safe, welcoming place where you feel willing and able to consider making changes. Most of us aren’t used to reaching out for professional support. We’re brought up to think asking for help can be a sign of weakness. But whatever you’re facing, working together with a professional therapist can let you see a way forward.

My role as therapist is to work alongside you, creating a supported, non-judgemental space, where we can explore together what you are experiencing, at a pace that feels safe. Together we can tackle themes like anxiety, hypervigilance, depression, dissociation, intrusive thoughts, or a combination of all. I will work with you to create a greater sense of internal balance, help you manage stress, resolve the impact of trauma, heal from, and navigate life transitions, relationships and through a new awareness, build a greater resilience,feeling better able to regulate emotions and less overwhelmed with the complexities of modern life.

I am an experienced AEDP therapist. My approach is rooted in fostering deep connections and facilitating transformative experiences. I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. Through a blend of attachment theory, neuroscience, and experiential techniques, I guide clients in exploring and processing their emotions in real-time, leading to profound insights and healing. My goal is to empower clients to cultivate greater self-compassion, resilience, and authentic connections in their lives.

I provide psychotherapeutic counselling and I would like to help you to feel better- whatever that means to you. Perhaps you want to relieve depression or anxiety? Heal from trauma? Work through difficulties in relationships or at work? Maybe you just want to feel more vitality, more connected to yourself & to live life more fully. I’m an experienced therapist and I’m passionate about providing professional & effective therapy. I offer a non-judgmental & supportive space where you can be yourself as we explore what is causing you suffering or holding you back. We will work as a team to help you to access your inner resources.

Hi, my name is Simon and I work as a Psychotherapist in Private Practice in London. Clients who come to me for help usually have high levels of anxiety or depression and find themselves in repeating patterns within their relationships or at work that make them unhappy. I would offer you a safe, containing space where you could talk about and explore anything that’s difficult or overwhelming. We all have emotional needs and problems often arise when those needs are unmet. I would carefully explore which of your emotional needs were unmet during your childhood and possibly in your present life.

Perhaps you're feeling down; depressed, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, stuck or lonely. Maybe you're unsure about a relationship, challenged by life transitions or a relationship breakdown.You might be struggling with childhood trauma, parenting,adoption, infertility, loss and identity issues. Or just feeling that you aren't living the life you deserve. Life gets tough sometimes, yet out of our vulnerabilities lie our strength. Therapy is a process of self-discovery & growth that helps you to understand aspects of your life that may be holding you back, heal and ignite passion and fulfilment. I have faith and welcome you as you are

Hello! I'm Shona, a Mindfulness-based Experiential Therapist. I have successfully worked with many people experiencing things we can all face in life: relationship/work struggles, stress, burn-out, rejection, heart-break, fear, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, trauma, loss and abuse. The part I am so privileged to play is to accompany and guide my clients on a journey of discovery and healing. I enjoy complexity and recognise that whilst one part of you may desperately want things to change and be trying to change things, other parts of you can remain stuck. At the beginning it may not be clear how or why this is.

Hello I'm Liann, I fully understand how life gets tough at times and we all need someone to speak to. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addictions or low-self-esteem I am here to help. Together we will embark on a transformative journey towards healing and growth. I believe in fostering a warm empathetic therapeutic relationship. I will actively listen to your concerns, validate your experiences, and provide guidance without judgement. Together we will work towards your goals and empower you to overcome obstacles.

I deeply believe that in all of us there is the capacity to grow, to heal and to become more fully who we want to be. Our sessions would provide a safe space to help you feel less alone in exploring whatever you are currently facing, whether life-altering challenges, day-to-day difficulties, or just feeling that your life isn’t quite how you’d like it to be. In our work together, we would develop a shared, holistic understanding of your situation, identifying patterns and making connections between past experiences and the present, and going on to think about the best way forward.

You're a sensitive, thoughtful person. In so many ways you know you should feel lucky to have achieved what you have. But lately you've been feeling worried, overwhelmed and sometimes a bit hopeless. And your sensitivity - which could be your superpower - instead seems to only make you feel worse. You feel like you should be able to sort yourself out and carry on - but deep inside a small inner voice is calling out that it needs to be honoured and heard. You long to find somewhere that you can feel truly listened to and understood. Where it's okay that you're a complex person, full of contradictions and questions.

I’m a psychotherapist, lecturer & supervisor specialising in trauma and longer term therapy. I was the trauma lead for the counselling service of TfL for 6 years & currently teach psychotherapy at Regent’s University London. I integrate different approaches to therapy including EMDR, psychoanalytic and humanistic ways of working. A primary focus of the work tends to be on relationships, recognising patterns and exploring different ways to relate to yourself and others.

Personal crisis and suffering provide opportunities for self-awareness and for supporting you in discovering patterns of behaviour and their underlying causes. Regardless of the intensity of your dilemma or the depth of your distress, I help you to stand back and explore your inner world. Gaining greater insight, discovering new perspectives, finding acceptance and emotional resolution from your suffering. I specialise in anxiety, abuse, trauma and addiction, areas that are so often interlinked. If you would just like to ask a question in confidence or make an arrangement to meet in person or online, please make contact.

Anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties are all symptoms of our inner struggles and efforts to deal with discord, pain and distress.  We suffer. We feel overwhelmed, lost, hurt and confused.   Work, friend and family relationships are affected and our usual sources of support often become strained or break down.  We may turn to alcohol, drugs or self harm for comfort.  These are all very human reactions to painful life circumstances. Your distressing symptoms are life’s way getting your attention and guiding you towards a healthier and more fulfilling life experience.

In my experience every client comes to therapy with a unique set of life circumstances. Sometimes these contribute to personal and emotional problems which can feel overwhelming or even insurmountable. Often, it is at this point that a person reaches out for professional help. They may identify that low mood, negative thinking, stress or relationship problems are impediments to living a good life and they will want help to restore healthy self-esteem, confidence, balance and self-worth. Often clients are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental, compassionate and caring professional to guide them on their journey to wellbeing.
