Counselling in CT9
Hi there and thanks for stopping by on my page. I'd like to play my part in being useful to you in any way possible to help you with any kind of problem you feel stuck with right now. It's doing what's necessary not just in the sense of providing a more immediate sense of relief, and to get some better ways of coping going, but also to get under the skin of the problem more, to get to a likely problem behind the problem, in order that having to cope, or feeling like you have to get away, is less of a proclivity as you're more naturally relaxed in your own skin, more of the time - confident and calmly solving problems you care about.

Hello, I'm Jack. I'm a therapeutic counsellor based on the Kent Coast.
If you’re reading this, you might be facing one of the many challenges life can throw at us—anxiety, overwhelming thoughts or emotions, grief or relationship struggles at home or at work. Many people come to therapy because something needs to shift, internally, externally, or both. They want life to feel different: more manageable, more connected, and more meaningful.
Therapy is a creative journey that we go on together. We explore how you arrived at this point, what feels difficult, and what might help things change for the better.

I offer a free 20-30 minute consultation prior to a first session to explore how you feel about working together.
I work with people who wish to delve deeper into their experiences and want to uncover patterns which are no longer helping them. I work relationally, meaning I use our relationship as way to explore each clients unique way of being in relationships.
Sometimes we can arrive at rigidly painful beliefs about ourselves and the world we live in. Existential therapy can be a way to disrupt these beliefs and change the way we see the world and ourselves in it.

I started my therapy practice fifteen years ago, when I first qualified as an Integrative Humanistic counsellor. Since then I have met with many people in various therapeutic settings, both short and long-term. Relationship difficulties, work stress, low mood, over-anxiety, loss and bereavement - these are all issues clients have brought into the therapy room recently. Whatever they bring, I work together with the client to resolve things as best they can, while learnng a few insights about themselves on the way.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
