Counselling in Canterbury

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.

Hello, thank you for clicking on my profile, I work with clients with a variety of mental health issues either for short term or long term work. My work is tailored to your needs in the therapy room and am client led and very person centred in my approach. I have been qualified for over 5 years, I am constantly updating my knowledge & skills so that my work is effective & appropriate to your needs. The relationship is key for me for the therapy to work for you therefore an assessment session is offered initially to ensure we both feel comfortable working together.

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.

Coming to counselling is an adventure! It can be immense fun and incredibly inspirational. It can also be hard and will certainly make you take a good look at yourself! If you want to make changes in your life then counselling is one of the most effective ways to do it... and I will help you along the way, walking alongside you, giving you support. It is a great privilege for me - and I deeply value the vulnerable person (within all of us) that counselling helps to find the courage to reveal. I work with kindness, warmth and respect, and our relationship will become strong - yet I will challenge you - but in a caring and gentle way.

Are you struggling with yourself or life right now? You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, or even struggling with a life/work balance. Recent times have been challenging and negatively impacted many people. Sometimes, speaking to family and friends just doesn't seem enough. However, with the right support, you can definitely thrive, discovering your strengths and forge a more positive way forward. Imagining being the driver of your life, where you are in control, instead of a back seat passenger of your life.

I am an Counsellor, Trauma informed Therapist and EMDR Therapist. I am based in Canterbury area as well as being an ACTO approved Cyber/Online therapist. I work with a wide range of issues specialising in Trauma & Loss, with a special focus on Women’s health and the Menopause. I work with clients on a short and long-term basis. Whether your concern is in relation to recent events or to do with past experiences I offer a safe and confidential environment to explore and reflect and manage your issues. I am a BUPA and EAP recognised Therapist.

If your everyday life and general wellbeing are being affected by how you’re feeling, it is a good time to get some help. My name is Selina Pryor and I work as a school counsellor with young people and adults three days a week. In my private practice I offer individual counselling for young people and adults. Counselling can offer the space and time needed to work through experiences and issues, it is an opportunity to be heard and to feel understood. It can help in building better self-awareness, relationships and overall quality of life. Choosing a counsellor that feels like the right person is really important.

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. ​

As a UKCP registered psychotherapist with over 15 years experience, I am also an accredited EMDR practitioner and a creative arts therapist. I use various techniques to help my clients process and heal their difficulties. tSee my website: myembodiedpsyche.com. I also offer small group (2-4 people) therapy using the deeply grounding and healing powers of clay therapy - the cost per session for group therapy is reduced to £30 per session.

I will work with you to find the best way to explore your concerns. I have a wide range of experience including trauma, grief and hopelessness, repetitive thought patterns, relationship issues, substance use and/or abuse, difficult life decisions. As a co-founder of the UK'S preeminent psychedelic research organisation I am well placed to help you integrate challenging peak experiences. As an expatriate, I am aware of the challenges you may face living in a new country and the issues of third culture children.

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'm a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of NHS mental health experience who has worked with people experiencing a variety of difficulties, including: stress, anxiety, low mood, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma, bipolar affective disorder, bereavement, dementia, chronic pain and physical health problems. I work with individuals and couples.

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.

Need a breath of fresh air? Change of scenery? Anxieties and problems have weighed heavy recently and it's been very easy for things to feel like they are getting on top of us, or maybe you've been meaning to get some support for a while and now is the time to move forward and feel better. Over the years I have supported all kinds of people with a wide variety of things they find difficult and we can decide together if I am the right person and this is the right thing for you. I offer a flexible approach to counselling and counselling supervision working outdoors, walking, sitting, with my dog or yours, or both, and online.

You don't have to struggle on your own - I can support you to make positive changes, build resilience and achieve personal growth. My experience is that counselling can assist us with the problems we encounter in life and can help us overcome self-destructive attitudes and behaviour. I will provide you with a comfortable, safe and confidential space where your thoughts and feelings can be explored and worked through. This talking therapy helps my clients to find a more constructive way of living and a stronger sense of inner fulfillment. Counselling can be either short or long term to fit in with your needs.

Psychotherapy can benefit anyone with emotional, social or mental health problems. I enjoy working with clients who are keen to explore their experiences, beliefs and barriers to living more fulfilling life.

Given the latest government advice all sessions will be offered online. I have ten years of experience of working in this way and I am happy to give you guidance to set this up. You will need an internet connection (preferably high speed), a headset and microphone. I can also offer telephone sessions but face to face via an online platform is preferable. Psychotherapy is about being listened to and seen in a particular way. There is nowhere else in life that offers a time and space to focus on your 'self' - your body and your mind. My Kent practice is in the village of Bridge near Canterbury and is easy to reach.

Therapy can be a catalyst for change helping us to regain a sense of control in our lives and begin to live life more towards our true potential. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues that impact on clients' wellbeing, offering support, empathy and a safe space to share their concerns. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, young people on short and long-term contracts in Canterbury and Waltham. I use different approaches and techniques that are tailored to clients' needs, believing that we are all individual and that ‘one size does not fit all’. I have also lived and worked extensively overseas.
