Counselling in Sevenoaks

Who am I: First of all, "welcome" and thank you for taking some time to read about me and my way of helping and/or supporting you in a therapeutic journey of self development and change, whether that be for yourself or yourself and a partner or your family. I am a fully qualified and experienced integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). My philosophy of counselling is based on the person as a whole - working on the mind, body and emotions.

Sometimes life changes suddenly in a way that we may struggle to make sense of and sometimes life can feel constrictive and harder than it should. I imagine that you are here wondering if you are able to make a change or how it may feel to try to understand what is happening for you. I believe that with a gentle and thoughtful counselling experience, you can start to understand yourself better, make sense of some of the difficulties you may have had, and find a more helpful way forward.

I work with children, adolescents and adults. If life is difficult right now and you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or in need of support, I am able to help. I will work with you to feel safe and relaxed in your sessions, with this comes trust and the ability to work through worries in a deeper more honest way. You are always at the centre of the work. The ultimate aim is to help you find skills and confidence within yourself, to manage your emotions and feelings, so that you feel safe and stronger within life's experiences. People I have worked with in the past have experienced positive changes in their lives.

I work with RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES. So, whether you're: a mother struggling in your relationship with your child or motherhood itself; a couple in crisis; experiencing recurring relationship problems; or still searching for that elusive romantic relationship I’m keen to work with you. I work with both individuals and couples; and I can discuss with you which one of these may be the best fit for you. I find that by exploring your personal history we can often discover the root cause of your challenges so you can begin to enjoy intimacy and connection.

I specialise in helping with relationship issues of all types, working with individuals, couples and any other relationship or family grouping. I support people with a range of issues, such as infidelity, intimacy, communications, relationship anxiety, wider family dilemmas and many more. I will work with you to address your challenges in the here and now, whilst also helping to shed a light on the root causes. Together, we will also explore what a happy future may look like. No two people are the same and so my counselling offer is bespoke for you rather than an off the shelf model.

I’m a BACP registered Integrative Relationship Psychotherapist conducting online therapy with couples and individuals. I offer a safe, confidential and compassionate space in which you can explore and reflect on the difficulties which may be affecting your relationship. In our work together I facilitate an honest, mutual dialogue through which you and your partner can gain a deeper understanding of yourselves and your underlying issues and patterns of relating. This active co-created process can help you to find new ways of engaging with each other, opening up possibilities for enhanced well-being and satisfaction.

I am Dr Rebekah Dervley, a Chartered Psychologist registered with the Heath and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I am Clinical Lead for Sunstone Psychology - www.sunstonepsychology.co.uk - a psychological therapies service offering UK-wide psychological therapy and clinical supervision. I can offer you a safe and confidential listening space, and work with you to understand your difficulties and help you find a way forward. I specialise in working with trauma, PTSD, and people who exhibit a range of coping behaviours, such as self-harm, addiction, and other behavioural issues.

There are many reasons you might decide to seek counselling, at any stage of your life; each reason is valid and unique to you. There might be issues related to unresolved traumas in the past, or it might be that day-to-day pressures have become challenging and are affecting you. Whatever your reason, it can be helpful to have a therapist, working together with you, forming a professional and confidential relationship - unlike any of those you might share with family and friends - wherein you are welcome to explore your concerns; thereby offering you a deeper understanding of yourself - helping you move forward.

I think it's very brave to acknowledge when there are difficulties in your life and to embark on a journey of change. It is my privilege to accompany individuals on a therapeutic process which enables them to live a more meaningful life. Our journey together can sometimes be a brief stepping stone of goal focused support, or at other times the therapeutic process is longer term and more explorative. I am passionate about supporting neurodiverse individuals as well as individuals who have lived through adverse or traumatic life experiences. I welcome enquiries from all genders and sexualities.

Some issues I work with include anxiety, loneliness, joylessness & low self esteem; addictive/excessive behaviour; family & relationship/ affairs & divorce; anger/ emotional imbalances bereavement/loss. I have a particular focus on abuse/sexual abuse, trauma & PTSD. But whatever is troubling please do get in touch: working through current problems we may look back at childhood & unresolved past issues, making sense of how things have been for you & why behaviours have developed whilst being curious about what could be be different: what purpose is there in this challenging time? how do you want to live & what needs to change?

Welcome.. My name is Nicola, I am an accredited Psychotherapist and qualified EMDR therapist. I offer therapy to individuals and couples with a wide range of emotional challenges & difficulties.

At times we may experience difficult emotions which we struggle to control. We may know why, or it may be a mystery to us. Wrestling with these feelings may give rise to anxiety or feeling withdrawn and low. We may also have long-standing difficulties, stemming from past experiences, that constrain our lives and compromise our relationships. Abuse, bullying and neglect can have a deep and lasting impact on our emotional wellbeing. These emotional difficulties can affect many aspects of life including sexuality, relationships, family, work, diet and physical health.

My name is Amanda I am an accredited counselling member of the BACP and hold BUPA recognition. I work with both adults and adolescents and I am qualified to work with trauma. I have experience of working with people struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, loss/bereavement and relationship issues. My approach to counselling varies according to your need, because we all act, think and feel in our own individual ways. I will draw on my theoretical training to work with you, but it will be a collaborative process as we work together building a relationship towards tackling challenging issues you may be facing

Individual and Couples Counsellor - Are you looking for a confidential, non-judgmental space where you can truly be yourself? Where you can talk about your fears and anxieties with someone who can help you find the root of them and help you to start to challenge them? This is your journey. Is life a struggle? Have you suffered a bereavement or loss of a relationship or job? Are you feeling anxious, stressed or depressed or just feeling overwhelmed? Are you having issues in your relationship? These are some of the issues I can help you with.

Welcome. Whatever has brought you to scroll these profiles, the right therapeutic relationship can help you be heard, seen and understood. The journey often starts in a place of discomfort: anxiety, bereavement, feeling lost, stuck or frustrated with repeated patterns of behaviour (in life and relationships) that you can't seem to shift, physical or mental health problems or the pain of old wounds that haven't healed. These crisis moments are often a call to personal growth and development, and sometimes to find a new path in life. I can offer you a safe and non-judgemental space to explore your situation and begin to move forward.

I have a broad and in-depth experience of working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and rape, including those going through court proceedings, since 2008. I work through the therapy process, with the client, to understand how their experiences have shaped who they are today, to ultimately empower and make better choices seem more possible. I have supported many women who have experienced abortion, as well as miscarriage, stillbirth, fertility issues, IVF, egg donor through to adoption. Infidelity and sexuality are also areas where I can offer support and work towards acceptance and change.

I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience in private practice. I work with adults and specialise working with Anxiety, Stress and Depression. I create a safe, open and non-judgemental space for you to explore your worries and concerns. No matter what your personal struggle is, Counselling and Psychotherapy can help you to gain relief from your symptoms and many people find it an enriching experience. As an Integrative Therapist I believe that the best chance for creating sustained change is to have a variety of techniques to help me 'tailor' my approach to suit your needs.
