Counselling in Tonbridge

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.

My clients like the informal, friendly approach, tailored to their individual needs. My work is informed by the highly effective Human Givens framework, embodying thorough scientific but holistic understandings of how to help people make good changes.

For the past four decades, I've also been a professional storyteller, chaired the Society for Storytelling in the 'nineties, often tell appropriate stories as part of therapy sessions with both adults and children.. Clients work with me to achieve specific goals.

Who am I: First of all, "welcome" and thank you for taking some time to read about me and my way of helping and supporting you in a therapeutic journey of self development and change, whether that be for yourself, 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.

Any of us can feel stuck, sad, lost and seemingly unable to move forward. Making sense of these feelings is critical to our both physical and emotional wellbeing. Impact Wellbeing works with you :an individual, a group, a team to explore ways to positively impact your world. Something small can appear to have led to a spiralling out of control by you /someone you care for /work with; you may feel unable to understand why someone self harms ; making sense of why someone took or tried to take their life by suicide, and there are few places to go to; we are here to help you make sense. What impacts your wellbeing matters.

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.
