Counselling in Sevenoaks

No two people are the same, so my priority when working with you will be trying to understand what it feels like to walk in your shoes. Rather than following a rigid model, I will then look to tailor the therapy to your needs. Perhaps, for example, you are coming to counselling mainly to explore thoughts and feelings or perhaps your priority is to find some tools to help with a specific problem. Whilst, I will be there to guide you, I believe therapy works best when it is a collaborative process and your voice is truly heard. As well as being a rewarding experience, I will also look to make our sessions informative and enjoyable.

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.

CJK Counselling
Psychotherapist, DCounsPsych
My ideal client is an adult unsure of where they are in life. They have reached a point where they do not know what lies ahead. They may be unhappy in their current relationship/job/marriage and are uncertain of which way to turn. They want to feel alive again and look forward to each and every day rather than finding life a tedious merry go round of work and chores. In short they want to get back to what they love. Life is uncertain, but there are areas of your life that you CAN control even if the world appears to be chaotic.
