Adults Counselling in Rochester

I work open ended in person with adults and young people.
Are you looking to make sense of things? We seek counselling for a number of reasons including anxiety, trauma, depression, loss, stress, relationship difficulties - but also to gain a greater understanding of the ‘self’ and improve psychological well-being. Mostly and put simply, we want to learn to feel better about ourselves.

My specialism is working with adults and adolescents who have had traumatic experiences such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, childhood neglect and physical abuse.
Traumatic experiences can leave us with lots of overwhelming feelings and physical sensations. Working at a pace that suits you with a range of trauma informed techniques, I can help you to find a way to feel less overwhelmed and more comfortable in your body.

Adults & Young People over 16
Feeling nobody quite "Gets YOU?" Impulsive, unmotivated, head spiriling, ruminating, masking due to ADHD/ASD? Drugs or alcohol used to self medicate, relax or cope with stress but now noticed its getting out of control? Anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts starting to control your life but not sure the trigger? Or do you just have a sense something is wrong but struggle to open up or express how you feel to your partner, family or friends? The beauty of talking to a counsellor is I am neutral and independent of your situation which can make it easier to open up and explore your feelings and thoughts.

I have over 25 years experience of supporting adults, young people and families with varied needs.
Every individual is unique and we all respond to our environment in different and unique ways. We all deserve to be heard and within each one of us is the ability to change, transform and evolve. One of the most insightful things I’ve learnt as a mental health practitioner is that we are products of our thoughts, experiences and environment. How we think affects our worldview and determines our success in life. Our thoughts affect our physical and mental health and this may have significant impact on our present and future. We will work together to explore your feelings and how to manage your thoughts and relationships.

Alongside my private practice, I volunteer at Mind as the counsellor working with adults.
Dealing with challenges in daily life can be tough. Are you feeling stuck in your life? Has your relationship changed? Or you are no longer happy with your partner or family members? Perhaps, you are dealing with parenting challenges, having a baby and being a parent can bring great joy, but it can also be difficult. It is normal to feel low and not like yourself, and it is okay to struggle to understand your birth experience. Feeling guilty about not meeting your own expectations can also make life feel hard. Or are you feeling lonely because your beliefs do not align with your parents' values?

I have undertaken specialised training in trauma therapy to enable me to work with adults who have survived sexual abuse.
Have you survived sexual abuse or rape, either at childhood or at later life? Do you feel shame, guilt, anger, fear or experience flashbacks? Are you experiencing physical and emotional reactions? Deciding to attend counselling can feel daunting. The thought of opening up to a stranger about your experiences can feel scary and overwhelming.
You can choose to have a short term or a longer period of therapy, I will work and adapt to your needs.

Since 2004, I’ve successfully built and nurtured a thriving therapy practice working with adults.

My aim is to get you back on the main track as quickly as possible using specific techniques and a bespoke collaborative approach. I’m often referred to as a ‘user friendly’ therapist- keeping things simple, manageable and non judgemental. My specialisms include anxiety, abuse, trauma.

I have 20 years experience working with adults with a variety of problems.
Do you struggle with self-doubt and anxiety, feel like a fraud or impostor, worry that you're going to be "found out", and despite your successes and achievements you still feel the same. You may find yourself working harder and longer to try and appease the self-doubt, you may avoid opportunities due to the fear of failure, and can struggle with procrastination. Do you find yourself being self-critical, putting yourself under a lot of pressure to achieve, comparing yourself negatively to others, and overthinking. Do you want to break free from the impact of Impostor Syndrome, building confidence in yourself and living life fully?

I am an integrative counsellor offering talking therapy to teenagers and adults (for issues including self harm, anxiety, low moods, relationships, OCD & baby loss), as well as specialising in eating disorders and self harm.
I strongly believe that, "a healer is someone who seeks to be the light she wishes she had in her darkest moments." I understand that taking the first steps towards counselling is not always easy. My own life has not been without struggles and my own experiences of personal counselling have helped shaped the type of counsellor I strive to be.

My clients are young people (18+), adults, older adults.
Hi I'm Alice, Does your anxiety or stress feel overwhelming and difficult to cope with? I specialise in helping clients to understand and manage their anxiety. Counselling empowers you and is life changing. I work with clients whose anxiety is a result of unresolved childhood issues, feeling' different', or have lost a sense of who they are. This impacts on relationships, self esteem, and health. I bring an experienced perspective to the difficulties clients have managing new situations or differences in culture, values, and beliefs. My clients express relief at releasing their shame, loss, or pain. As they heal, they move forward.
