Counselling in Gravesend

Having worked with young people, adults, couples and groups, I am hugely passionate about supporting people from all walks of life and whose experience of mental health have been varied. I am committed to providing a confidential, non-judgemental and a safe space for people to share difficult feelings and experiences. I have experience in working with a number of issues, from stress, anxiety and depression to post traumatic stress and personality disorders, I have been privileged in being able to support people in the development of their awareness, resilience, confidence and an improved sense of mental health & wellbeing.

Hi, I'm Fiona. Welcome to my profile. I am an experienced, and qualified counsellor who loves her job. I understand how difficult it is to approach counselling, and know how daunting, scary and anxiety provoking it can be to choose the "right counsellor for you". Perhaps your daily life leaves you confused enough, without having to make yet another decision. Perhaps your goal is to understand yourself more fully, or learn ways of accepting past experiences, and finding a more relaxed, and happier way to move forward. If you are looking for someone patient, warm and non judgemental, I'd really like to be that person to help you.

When we try to surpress strong emotions, they have a nasty habit of impacting on our lives in other ways through our behaviours. We can try to ignore them or numb them but they are still there. After a while the pressure grows and it starts to impact on those around us, our jobs, our families. You may feel alone and isolated and struggling to find the answer.

Deciding to attend therapy is a difficult and brave decision. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you can feel comfortable in being your authentic self, I aim to provide you with that experience. I believe there is no position or age from which positive change cannot be made and will support you in the process. Alternatively, if you have a goal that you wish to achieve, either personally or professionally, it is vital you find someone who can bring energy, enthusiasm and pragmatism to your sessions. I also have experience in the corporate space and provide seminars on a number of issues and coaching for groups.

Does life feel overwhelming or out of control? Feeling stuck and want a more fulfilling future? I offer a confidential and safe therapeutic environment for children, adults and couples to explore and process the difficulties you are facing, at your own pace. Counselling focuses on your future and moving past any blocks that prevent you from living your life how you wish. Together we will explore your present difficulties, as well as past experiences that have led to your current situation. This provides the opportunity to gain a deeper insight and understanding of yourself as well as your current challenges.

Are you struggling? Could be with worrying about direction in your life, Brain fog with menopause, Anxiety with everyday life, A bereavement that has been difficult. We can work together to achieve a calmness giving you the skills based on your individual needs, therefore enabling you to be confident in moving forward. I can offer an honest and warm environment for you to feel safe to explore and understand any difficulties you're experiencing. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, you may have a particular problem that is concerning you, a traumatic experience, sometimes our loved ones are too close to hear how we really feel.

Do you feel like life should feel better? Are you in a dark place and trying to find the light? My name is Shanice and I am an REBT therapist, but a human first. I’ve experienced anxiety and depression and understand how hopeless struggling with your mental health can feel. I help people to manage life better and to realise that there is light. I do this by helping you to identify the underlying belief that is creating your pain and going through a structured process of changing that belief.

Life can be tough at times and sometimes we need a bit of help to manage. I offer psychological assessment and intervention for children, young people and adults. I have specialist expertise in working with long term health conditions including, dermatology (e.g. acne, eczema, alopecia, hair pulling, skin picking and genetic skin diseases), weight management, diabetes, endocrine disorders, respiratory, renal and cardiac issues, amongst others.

We all know that life is hard, particularly now. Post covid, more of us are aware of how fragile life can feel. Having someone who will listen and understand now seems so much more important. To feel visible and that we matter. This is why we created counselling collective online.

Hi, my name is Rosie Heartland. I am a recently qualified Transpersonal Arts Therapist and counsellor. In this post pandemic world, many people are suffering from anxiety, depression and the trauma brought on by not only the insecurities of these times, but also by adverse childhood experiences. Taking that leap to enter into therapy is very difficult and I understand how scary the thought of opening up to a stranger can be. I hope to offer you compassion, understanding and a listening ear, so you feel at ease within our therapeutic relationship and your well-being goals can be addressed through non-threatening Creative therapy.

I am an Integrative counsellor which means that I use a variety of counselling approaches dependant on your needs and what you want to achieve in the counselling process. Throughout the process you decide what you want to talk about and the pace you want to go. I will listen to you and help you to express and understand your emotions. Sometimes I use writing, drawing and toys to help you express difficult emotions. I have experience in helping people who want to talk through issues of Spirituality, especially their Christian faith.

Over the last 15 years of helping people overcome anxiety, I understand what a struggle it can be, I also know anxiety is not a life sentence. I have worked with many people and one common thread is anxiety prevents them from enjoying day to day life, however it doesn’t have to be that way. Anxiety can come and go, at times it may be worse but that also means it can get better and as an experienced therapist, I know what works. So whilst change might seem daunting, being under prolonged stress due to anxiety is also hard work, it is tiring and it is frustrating. Working together we can learn new, more effective ways of living.

Whether we have suffered a life shattering event or we live with a feeling that something is missing in our lives, our resilience can become depleted. Repeated feelings of anxiety, stress and depression, left unchecked, can start to gain control over our everyday lives, keeping us stuck, unfulfilled and isolated. Using a tailored integrative approach, I am here to facilitate a process by which we can examine and engage with challenges in a way that promotes your resilience and helps you move forward in the direction that feels right and authentic to you.

Choosing the right counsellor for YOU is a daunting task. Do you go with the profile picture and the smile, the blurb, the qualifications or the experience? We all look for different things in a person and choosing a stranger that you may want to tell your innermost thoughts and feelings to is HUGE. I specialise in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), using the Rewind Technique where a client can gain closure to traumatic events. Rewind can be completed in 2-3 sessions, where involuntary recall and avoidance behaviour can stop. There is no disclosure in Rewind; there is closure without disclosure. See my website for costs.

Are you experiencing a feeling of being stuck or lost in a moment, exhaustion from felt pressures or maybe struggling with feelings that can, are, or have become Overwhelming for you ? It may feel difficult to express or share these feelings with those around us. Not wanting to feel misunderstood, negatively Judged or a burden on others.
