Counselling in Romney Marsh

There's a first time for everything. Most newcomers to counselling & psychotherapy start out feeling a little intimidated by the idea of this rather mysterious process. I aim to demystify what I do - clients often comment on what they describe as a down-to-earth and accessible approach. My aim is ultimately to help you understand yourself and your behaviour. I feel that goal is best achieved by working in a non-threatening, straightforward and inclusive way.

Hello my name is Kathy. Are you struggling with a situation in life which is causing you to experience distress and need some help? Do you want someone to talk to without judgement? I am able to provide you with a comfortable and confidential space where you can talk about what may be causing you to experience emotional difficulties. I am a person centred, humanistic integrative counsellor and work holistically working not just with the mind, but with the body as a whole through mindfulness techniques, helping you to perhaps hear that your body is telling you more than you realise.

Hello I'm Alison.  Are you looking for a safe space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without feeling judged?  Do you feel anxious or overwhelmed but not sure where to turn to for support?  Are you feeling depressed and need someone to listen to you who is calm and empathetic?  Are you feeling sad about life at the moment and need to make sense of your goals and where your life is going?  Counselling can help you to focus on what matters to you and help you to understand yourself so that you can work towards having a more fulfilling life.

Having a fulfilling sexual life is often what we aspire to, but anxiety, physical pain and relationship issues might make it difficult to achieve. I believe everyone has an innate ability to connect to others and to build healthy relationships. As a sex and relationship therapist, my aim is to help you find your inner resources to overcome the challenges you are coming with. Whether you need your relationship to achieve its full potential or to overcome a crisis, we will work together to identify the issues you are struggling with and support you in the areas where you feel change is needed.

Together we work out what needs to change so you can feel happier in your life, in your relationships and in yourself. We find the tools you need to deal with what's happening now and the space to explore your past and what you want for your future. When we don't change what feels wrong or ignore what we think we can't look at or change, it leaks out as depression, anxiety, low self esteem or even as anger or shutting down and not communicating. Medicating with drink or drugs, harming ourselves by eating too much or too little are things we use to cope, but they hurt us and those around us. We can change but sometimes we need help.

You may be finding life tough, finding it hard to put your finger on what’s causing distress. General feelings of sadness and low self-esteem may be making it difficult to see who you truly are. Your sense of purpose may be ebbing, or indeed gone altogether. Instead, there may be a constant, nagging feeling of wishing things were different. But not knowing what that different looks or feels like. Whether or not it even exists. Do you feel your voice is being smothered by work pressures, or your personal aims are being crushed? The overwhelming anxiety that seems to dictate your every thought and move...

As a Relate family therapist. I have been specifically trained to work with couples, families and individuals. I am certified to work with Young People 11-18 yrs and have spent many hours working in Schools/privately with Young People. Whether you are feeling in a low mood/suffering with anxiety/ facing a crisis or just wanting to spend some quality time to focus upon tough issues you maybe experiencing. We can work together to clarify your needs and develop some tools/skills to help you move forward in your life. In my private tranquil room you will have a safe space to talk confidentially with a focus upon you.

The reality is that we all encounter things in our lives which cause us suffering and pain. Many of us will reach a point where we feel a sense of impass or something which challenges our sense of who we are, particularly as we develop outside of the families we grew up in. The human brain is able to develop ingenious ways of coping, but our coping mechanisms can end up causing us more distress than they fix. We then end up in a pattern of beliefs and behaviours which negatively affect us and leave us feeling hopeless and stuck. I belive that it's possible for everyone to lead a fulfilling life. We sometimes just need a little help.

I provide the space for you to make the changes you want. Where you can talk through your thoughts, feelings, experiences and concerns, free from judgement. For some, this is in a therapy room and for others this can be outdoors. You choose the space to suit you. I focus on helping you to heal and re-energise. To become aware of personal strengths and also the barriers that may be holding you back. Together we work on how you can move forward with new knowledge and skills to live a more authentic and meaningful life going forward. To help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be.

My counselling service is consciously focused toward men, providing a space to feel safe and supported to work through issues.

Some of the reasons to come to counselling include; Sex or Relationship Issues, Questioning or coming to terms with Sexuality, Work Issues, Bullying, both emotional or physical, Anxiety, Depression, dealing with loss and bereavement. I am a fully qualified Person Centred Therapist and registered member of the BACP.

As an experienced counsellor, I provide help to individuals and couples who feel held back from leading healthy, fulfilling lives, and may feel unable to enjoy their relationship, either personally, or in their work. I see therapy as collaborative. Together, drawing on my years of experience and training, we can work to to help you make changes that enhance, or rebuild your life.whether its is relationship difficulties, or challenges you are experiencing in your work and creativity ..

Do you worry about what people think of you or have times when you find yourself saying yes to things when you really want to say no? Are you struggling with anxiety and depression? These are really common difficulties for people and often the reason why they seek counselling support, in order to feel better.

In a world full of stress, anxiety and depression life can at times be very challenging. Generally we are able to manage these challenges unaided. Sometimes, however, we may need some support and help. I am passionate about my work and see counselling as a tool for you to use to help create change towards living a more enriched, fulfilled and meaningful life. My aim is to offer you a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space where you can explore and make sense of your difficulties, whether they are emotional or relational.

I offer counselling with a warm, genuine and non-judgemental approach, with our relationship at the core of the work we do together, which can be long or short-term depending on your needs. I work with adults and young people through a range of issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, issues around sexuality and identity, relationships, abuse, health and bereavement. I also work with psychosexual issues after gaining a Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy accredited by COSRT at Level 5. I have a particular interest in peri/post-natal health. I am able to work face-to-face, online or over the telephone if preferred.

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.
