I am a Level 5 Psychotherapeutic Counsellor qualified to work to the level of independent practitioner with Adults, Young People & Children.
Stepping into counselling and looking for a therapist when you are feeling at your most vulnerable can seem very daunting. You are possibly feeling very low and anxious and in need of a neutral and non-judgemental place to turn. I offer Person Centred Therapy - a Humanistic Approach that deals with the ways in which a person consciously perceives themselves. I am client-led, I do not offer you advice, but trust that the relationship we develop together will allow you to find what you need. I offer therapy to Adults, Young People and Children (5years plus) and can work creatively.

Good rapport with your Counsellor's the first step towards achieving change. My Counselling approach is different to anything my clients (both Adults & Children) have experienced before and it's because of this, they've felt at ease quickly and gained maximum benefit from their sessions. I've Counselled since 2019 and have a diverse range of additional skills that I integrate into my Counselling work. I work with Victims of Crime within Kent, as well as Children & Families who've been bereaved. I have over 10yrs experience working with Children & Young People, including those with additional needs, so my approach is inclusive.

There are times we may find ourselves with more questions than answers. There are the big questions, 'what is the meaning of life?' 'or Why am I here?' Perhaps you are stuck with '...and what now?'. When faced with life's difficulties, counselling helps to make meaning of and process painful life experiences. I have worked with children, young people & adults for over 12 years with Issues such as loss and grief, anxiety, depression, relationship & family breakdown, self-harm, abuse, poor self-esteem, trauma, spirituality, harmful sexual behaviour, and identity.

Perhaps as a small child you were frightened or unhappy and didn't feel safe.
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.

You are not alone. There are many reasons why people seek counselling such as anxiety, bereavement or relationships and it can be a combination of things that makes someone feel overwhelmed. I work with all age groups, genders and cultures; with individuals, couples and families. Talking can be difficult for anyone so I also offer creative and animal assisted therapies to enable clients to express their feelings and experiences in a less challenging way. I am experienced in different life issues: If you are Deaf I can sign BSL or you might be on the Autistic Spectrum. If appropriate I can also work with clients in a home setting.
