Life Coaching Counselling in Dover
I have over 20 years of experience within mental health settings in the NHS and private settings. I believe therapy is about building a non-judgemental and trusting relationship, where we can work together to make sense of your mental health symptoms and find ways to develop more awareness and ways to cope. Finding the right psychological approach is key to the smooth running of this process. Therefore, I utilise a range of psychological approaches that I adapt to suit your needs. My aim within therapy will be to be curious, empathetic and honest and draw on individual strengths.

Whether you are considering a course of therapy to address specific mental health challenges, or you've experienced sudden change or loss in your life and finding it hard to cope alone, I can offer you help as you take your next step.
Whatever your reasons for undertaking therapy, I will respond to those issues, while at the same time focusing on inherent strengths and emerging qualities. In that way, we can reframe your psychological challenges as gateways rather than obstacles. Together with traditional talking therapy, I offer techniques such as, mindful enquiry, Gestalt, therapeutic writing, breathing practices to help combat stress and anxiety, meditation and creative visualisations.

My role is to help you understand yourself better in all the contexts of your life.
Let’s be honest, it’s all a bit daunting really. You decide you might need to talk to someone, Google it, and suddenly you’re scrolling through pages of smiling faces. The titles and initials next to our names likely don’t mean a great deal to you. And nearly everyone says a variation of the same thing about themselves anyway. So how do you tell us apart? This specialism, that theory, those qualifications, these years… What really matters is whether we connect. The research backs this up, and my experience does too.

I believe that we are all unique individuals despite the many different labels that life has to offer us.
My name is Jacqueline and I qualified as a counsellor in 2008. I have since worked with a wide variety of issues such as bereavement, anxiety, low self worth, lack of confidence, addiction, relational issues such as couples, autism, understanding self concept, shyness and much more. I believe that the professional working relationship between the counsellor and client is of fundamental importance as it provides opportunities in which change can occur. For that reason I provide a free assessment of your needs. Also meeting myself prior to engaging in any counseling will help you to decide if I would be the right counsellor for you.

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. If you've a problem, then I want to do what I can to help with any immediate impact this is giving you, as well as down the line organising it better so it's less of a long-term issue. People have come to me over the last eight years as they've felt stuck, worried or alone with something troubling them. Maybe it's been a recent situation that's brought this about, or maybe it's been incrementally building up over time and it's affecting too many areas of their lives. This is about finding better ways of coping that are less maladaptive, but also, if necessary, to perhaps unlock a core issue.

Hi my name is Sam. I work with children and young people. My focus when working with children and young people is to find a way to work with them to help with all of their areas of difficulty, from emotional to school and the variety of difficulties they can experience. I find that children and young people feel most comfortable in a familiar surrounding so I always try to work with the child in their own home or school.

This work is less about ‘fixing’ you and more about understanding the deeper patterns shaping your life and finding a new way forward that is both meaningful to you and rewarding.
Maybe you're experiencing low mood or keep repeating the same relationship patterns. Maybe you overthink everything, struggle to trust yourself, or find it difficult to remain motivated. Maybe part of you knows things need to change, but you’re not sure how to stop falling back into old ways of being. I offer both online and face-to-face therapy for people who want to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is warm, reflective and collaborative, and together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface and find an approach that genuinely fits you as an individual.

Great, you have already taken the first steps for you. I am not the expert on you, you are. I am here to support and explore with you what you maybe finding difficult or just not feeling Ok. This may be in your relationships, in your physical body or you are finding both these things are overwhelming sometimes. Together we can wonder, ponder and educate ourselves and understand, why? Then we can make a strategy and build on your already available resilience (you are here remember), and improve this together. This maybe just a few sessions, sometimes just one or a little longer if you need this.

What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
