Counselling in Tunbridge Wells

As an experienced Accredited Counsellor, qualified since 2002, I am able to offer counselling that is tailored to your individual needs. As an Integrative Counsellor I use my knowledge of modalities including Humanistic, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, CBT and my experience to provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for people, in order to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences safely at their own pace.

Are you feeling angry, anxious, overwhelmed or suffering from low mood? Has something recently happened to you that you need to talk about with someone who won’t judge but who can help you make sense of things? Perhaps you’ve had a traumatic or difficult experience that you need to talk over? Maybe you wake up each day feeling unfulfilled and have a sense that there must be more to life than this? It may be that you are experiencing something new, such as parenthood, which is bringing up uncomfortable memories of your past? Whatever the presenting concern, I'm here to help.

I offer counselling and psychotherapy services to young people aged 14 and over and adults of all ages. I work with people who are undergoing a difficult time, have experienced major loss or trauma, and those for whom the very business of living seems a constant uphill struggle. I am concerned to find out what it feels like to be you, how you feel and experience the world and how your strengths can be used to overcome your difficulties so that you can achieve the greater emotional stability you need in order to feel hopeful and to look forward to new experiences in life.

If you are considering having counselling then the chances are you are experiencing some sort of difficulty. This could be in relation to a major loss or disappointment, your lifestyle, relationships or life changes. It is the internal experiences which follow these life situations that can make it so difficult. Anger, stress, grief, depression, shame and anxiety being a few examples. I offer care, acceptance, and an empathic environment where you can be deeply heard and understood; this therapeutic atmosphere creates conditions for effective counselling to happen. Often talking about what is inside can bring a tremendous release.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor, with a diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling, and a Registered Member of the BACP. I work in a very relational way with clients from all back grounds and with any issue they might need to bring. It's important to me that I can provide a safe space to be able to explore the past, present and future hopes, as well as what might be held unconsciously, through the mediums of dreams and imagery, bodily sensations and reflections. The aim is always to give the client the tools and understanding in order to live the life they want to the full.

There may be events which have occurred or are anticipated to occur which leave us feeling anxious, ill, overwhelmed, stressed, frightened, unsure, on the edge of burn out or like our very foundation has been shaken, and we need some help to process it all. Or we may not even know why we are feeling the way we do. Sometimes things can feel unmentionable to family and friends or events have occurred which no-one wants to talk about anymore or we need the skill, support and confidentiality of somebody who will understand what we are struggling with and who is equipped to help us. That’s when therapy can be really valuable.

A warm welcome. I offer individuals & couples counselling and have extensive experience working with a wide range of emotional difficulties & needs with clients of diverse cultures, backgrounds & abilities. Working with me will be a collaborative process & you will be at the heart of it. You are unique. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits all approach but I am committed to tailoring the work around your unique needs to support you in facilitating real change. Together, we can find your unique way of moving forward at a pace that suits you. I will be led by you, your choices & needs. The first step is the scariest but you are here!

I am a specialist in addiction and trauma counselling

I have been practicing for approximately 15 years working with many clients who usually need support when a crisis has occurred in their life. This can be a relationship breakdown/concerns, post trauma, career issues/retirement/progress/redundancy or feeling low and a wish to have some non-judgemental support. Often when we when we feel anxious, worried or frightened these feelings can come out in different ways. Sometimes we use coping mechanisms to manage our feelings/thoughts that may only give temporary relief. I offer a safe space to listen to my clients stories and explore what they need from me in order to recover.

I have a gentle manner but I am able to understand problems. I often work with things other therapists have not been able to help completely and have therapeutic solutions to the most challenging issues. I help you understand how the past impacted you. I use a structured approach so you create therapeutic goals which we work towards during the sessions. RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING involves having both partners spending time to express their point of view and a joint agreement on how to progress the therapy. I usually set “homework” for both individuals and couples to work on between sessions. DISCOUNTS available for block bookings

I work with you; your experiences, feelings, concerns, anxieties, challenges, hopes, and potential. My approach helps you to recognise when feelings are out of balance with experiences and make changes accordingly. My work aims to help you find a way that you can understand and use to navigate life's challenges through working relationally to better understand your own potential. Prior to qualifying as a counsellor I worked in executive and leadership positions helping me to understand the struggles and stress associated with a demanding and insecure workplace.

I provide therapeutic services for individuals, young people, as well as couples. I offer a safe and confidential space online and in Tunbridge Wells to work on a short or long term basis depending on your need. If you haven't had counselling before, the thought of talking to a stranger about something that's troubling you can seem frightening. You may have an idea of the changes you want to make, or simply be aware that you want something in your life to be different without being sure how to achieve this. I am qualified to practise Transactional Analysis psychotherapy and can support you to initiate the changes you seek to make.

Here at Sanae Mentis counselling you will be assured a safe space with which to explore your world without judgement. This is your time to bring whatever is troubling you and to know that you are not alone as I walk alongside you through what can sometimes feel painful. Counselling can at times be challenging as you delve a little deeper into your emotions but this is truly where growth can occur and therefore it is important to understand that the more you get out from this experience will largely depend on how open you can be.

I also conduct cognitive assessments to support individuals to understand their specific learning profile.

Through our sessions together I provide a space for you to be heard, for you to talk through the challenges that you face, and to support you in finding a way to be.

She has appeared in the Financial Times How to Spend it, The Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, Daily Mail and teaches a variety of celebrity and well known individuals (though you will never see their names in the press as she prefers ultimate confidentiality and does not seek press interest).
