Counselling in CT1

As a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and Integrative Counsellor, I have experience of treating a range of psychological, behavioural and emotional difficulties. Within the NHS and IAPT services I treat clients with Anxiety disorders, Depression and PTSD, and have also worked with young people in educational settings, as well as supporting clients with anger, loss, relationship issues, bereavement or just those who need to talk and might feel a bit stuck. Through our sessions we will work to bring awareness to any patterns of thinking or responding that may be worsening how you feel.

If you are struggling with any form of addiction, I can help. I provide a proven therapy that helps people change - have a look at the testimonials page on my website. I treat Sexual addiction and compulsion, betrayal, serial infidelity, alcohol problems, anger management and depression. I see clients with relationship and grief problems. I am a registered senior accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with 25 years experience.

Anxiety, stress, confusion, grief, and anger are just a few of the feelings that I have seen clients finding relief from, during our work together. I support you in addressing difficult or painful issues from your past and present. By listening to what's going on beneath the surface and through new insights, whatever gets in the way of you reaching your full potential will be brought to light.

Hi there and welcome to Jenny Blain Counselling. I am a fully qualified and experienced humanistic counsellor & clinical supervisor based in Canterbury. The core of my counselling practise is person centred but I draw from many different counselling theories to meet my clients' needs. I work in an integrative way and may use elements of cognitive behavioural therapy as well as art therapy. I have experience working in educational settings such as colleges and special educational needs schools as well as in private practise. My clients are children, teenagers and adults and I work both short term and long term.

Recent times may have had a negative impact on your mental wellbeing or your self-esteem. Existing issues may feel harder to manage, or you may feel an increase in stress or anxiety? Your relationships with your partner, family or friends may have suffered, or you may feel lonely or isolated? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed or stuck? Do you want to make changes in your life but feel unsure how to start? Whatever is happening for you, our counselling sessions will be a safe, supportive space for you to process your feelings, make sense of things and begin to move forward again. I’m here for you and will be with you each step of the way.

You may be considering psychotherapy because you have a specific concern or are experiencing ‘symptoms’ that you want to address. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or a general sense of unease and feel life is meaningless or joyless. Perhaps you are facing some significant change in your life and unsure what to do. Or maybe you are feeling stuck finding yourself in the same place, repeating the same patterns, despite your efforts to change things. Or perhaps you want to get to know yourself more deeply and experience life more fully.

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist fully accredited with the BABCP. I am also a training Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist in advanced clinical studies with the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (a UKCP accredited course). My experience has varied from working with child, adolescent and adult trauma, neurodiversity’s such as ADHD, Autism and Sensory Difficulties, to a number of psychological disorders in the NHS and IAPT services. I have worked with a range of ages and diverse backgrounds and my work outside of private practice is currently trauma focused.

I am an experienced, approachable Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist who trained at the Tavistock clinic in London. For over 15 years, I have worked therapeutically with children, adolescents and their families in a variety of settings including the NHS, schools and in my own private practice. My approach is flexible and creative, integrating Psychoanalytic knowledge of child development with therapeutic skill to make sense of a child’s troubled thoughts or feelings. I am passionate about offering high quality and age appropriate therapeutic interventions that are tailored to the individual child or adolescent.

Are you feeling sad, anxious or overwhelmed, and need to work through your emotions in safe place? I offer a warm, empathic, non-judgemental environment to support you in understanding what is happening in your life and relationships, and how you want to move forward. I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I presently counsel at a SEN school working with neurodiverse students 2 mornings a week, volunteer at a community counselling service working with adults 2 sessions a week, and have my private practice in Canterbury.

We are all unique but our shared humanity means that we all struggle.With over 40yrs experience of working in mental health I have learnt that one of the most helpful interventions for a human in distress is to help them clarify their values and to use this information as leverage to facilitate the inevitable behavioural change that is needed for a life lived well. I have found that combining CBT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) promotes symptom reduction but also helps patient's to reconnect with what is important in their lives. If you're reading this I'm guessing you're feeling stuck-maybe I can help with that.

I am a fully qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor, BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and EMDR trained. I have over 14 years’ experience working as a psychotherapist in NHS settings (Primary & Secondary Care) and from treating of a wide range of anxiety and depression related problems. I lecture in CBT and supervise CBT trainees at Canterbury Christ Church University.

Do you feel overwhelmed in social situations, worrying how others perceive you? Are you having trouble sleeping or waking up in the middle of the night with your heart racing? Or perhaps on some days it is a real challenge to wake up and find the motivation to get out of bed, wondering ‘what’s the point?’ Sometimes, it might be difficult to share your thoughts and feelings with your family and friends. I aim to offer you a safe, confidential space to explore what is on your mind.

Are you struggling to cope with a bereavement (or need one off support to cope with a funeral), finding it difficult to overcome stress and anxiety, living with trauma's you have experienced or are experiencing? Are you not getting a good night's sleep; feeling that others do not see or hear you; have low self-esteem/confidence? Are your feelings impacting on your physical health? Are you wondering why you feel you are overreacting to minor issues and looking for a reason why this is happening to you? I want to help you navigate your way through these struggles and to transform your life, not just to cope, but to thrive. ​

Welcome to my profile page. I appreciate that taking those first steps to see a therapist can be scary. We may have fears of being judged, concerns that it might not work out, and with so many therapists out there how do we pick the right one?! These are all perfectly normal thoughts and feelings to have. I will provide a non judgmental, safe space to help you explore the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, to help you reach your goals. I have over 15 years experience working in mental health and substance misuse services and am fully accredited with the BABCP.

As an Accredited Integrative Counsellor & EMDR Therapist I understand that you are unique and I will adapt my professional skills to your needs. I have extensive experience working with Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Phobias, Depression, Bereavement, Stress, Low Self Esteem and much more. I aim to provide a warm, accepting environment that is confidential and safe. Developing a supportive, non-judgmental relationship to facilitate self understanding, new insights and to help individuals find new ways of being. I work with adults and young adults providing long or short term therapy.

Relationships can at times be a great source of distress and anxiety; sometimes it’s easy to feel stuck and unable to move forwards. You may be having difficulties with communication, infidelity, intimacy, sexual difficulties, or perhaps you just can’t seem to get along anymore and you’re not sure why. Whether you are experiencing difficulties within your relationship, or find it difficult to form lasting relationships, counselling can give you the space you need to explore and understand these issues. I offer sex therapy and relationship/couple counselling from my base in Canterbury (Kent) and online.

I have 20 years NHS experience providing psychological therapies, managing also a crisis team and liaison psychiatry service. I can offer psychodynamic therapy which is emotional and embodied. This is attachment-informed EMDR integrated with IFS ‘parts’ therapy. This approach creatively interweaves trauma therapy and Internal Family Systems therapy. I trained at Goldsmiths College; and with the University of Kent and clinically with the NHS; and also with a Jungian analytical training. Emdr combined with IFS is the best therapy available today. We are not removing symptoms we are loving and befriending all of you.
