Couples Counselling in Maidstone

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.

If you are feeling anxious or depressed, if you’re experiencing the breakdown of a relationship or a bereavement, or if you just want to talk to someone who won’t judge, I believe I can help. Believe in yourself, you can do this. I believe in you. You're not alone. Let's embark on this journey together. I am here to support you every step of the way. I offer compassionate and confidential counselling services tailored to your unique needs. I aim to provide you with the support and guidance you need to navigate life's challenges and begin a journey of healing and personal growth.

Are you feeling anxious/depressed, alone? Do you feel that you may have been the victim of narcissistic abuse or domestic violence? Maybe you are still in this relationship and finding it difficult to leave? Searching for a counsellor can be a tough process. I know you may find it extremely difficult to make that first contact, especially when you feel at your most vulnerable. I will help to put you at ease by providing a safe and confidential environment, where you will be listened to. This will be a space for you to explore your feelings without being judged or given advice. I will support you and help you to find some clarity.

At times, everyday can feel like a struggle and therapy can help you cope with all the worries and feelings you may have. My professional private practice can offer you a safe place to listen to your story and explore with you what concerns you. Together, we will set goals tailored to meet your individual needs to help you off-load and function better in your daily life. I am here to help you understand yourself better and make positive changes in your life. Short, medium or long term therapy is available and during your initial session we will discuss a treatment plan that fits with your schedule and budget.

I work sensitively with adult clients across different cultural backgrounds and I offer individuals and couples therapeutic support. I work with individuals on a range of issues, including struggles with identity, personal development, painful childhood memories, life transitions, loss and grief, depression and anxiety, low sense of worth, relationship issues, work related issues, family related issues and more. I support couples in working through challenges they may be facing in their relationship, including difficulties with communication, difference, conflict, sex, dealing with affairs, meeting each other’s needs and more.

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.

Are you feeling worried, stuck, or held back by something that happened in the past? Maybe you feel inadequate in some way, or self conscious. Whatever your problem I'm here to help you feel better about yourself, and more deserving of the life you really want. It's surprising what can be achieved by simply devoting time to talking about your problems with someone who is trained to help you reflect. I'm an integrative counsellor which means that while we mainly talk about the here and now, I sometimes invite you to talk about your past too, in order for you to identify patterns - Your unique experiences effect how you see life.

Are you struggling to make sense of life? Feeling sad, anxious, confused, depressed, overwhelmed or numb? Have you experienced a negative relationship or been subjected to abuse? Do you lack self esteem or find it hard to trust your own judgment? Counselling may help, for these and many other concerns. As a humanistic and integrative counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential, and welcoming space for you to focus on your needs either face to face in Sittingbourne or via telephone, online sessions. i can also offer chat sessions via teams.

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.

I’m a counselling therapist based in Hove, Brighton. I specialise in addiction but work with many other issues too including couples. We will explore & endeavour to shed new light on your way of being in the world, thus far, & how your past has informed your sense of self in the present & how you might want to enhance your life still further by bringing yourself out of the shadows & into the light? We don’t see the world as it is but as we; so who are we, really? I use “parts” work to free us to “Self-lead” to restore calmness; clarity; confidence; connectedness; compassion; courage; creativity; curiosity in & around us………………………

Life can throw us a curveball from time to time. Maybe you feel stuck in a cycle and wish you didn't feel the way you do. You could be experiencing anxiety or low self-esteem and want to work at being a better version of yourself by understanding and having a greater awareness of what has led you to this stage in your life. You have hope that you can work toward a brighter, happier future. Being focused on applying yourself to make a difference. You have the answers within. I gently and collaboratively work with you to help you gain further awareness and progress. There's always potential for growth.

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.

I strive to be an approachable, warm and accepting counsellor who can offer you a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space to talk about whatever it is that is troubling you. I work integratively, but I do so from a philosophically person-centered standpoint, in a relaxed yet respectful environment.

I offer a Counselling service to individuals, young people and families who may be facing personal difficulties and challenges. We all experience painful events and losses at various times in our lives and Counselling creates a safe containing space for clients to explore and process their emotions on a range if issues that may be impacting on them negatively. This can help clients to identify their triggers which may be responsible for creating the emotional and or physical distress. It also helps develop some strategies for clients to have at their disposal to manage better the impacts of the distress being experienced.
