Counselling in ME13

Welcome. My name is Mark Harlow and I shall be pleased to help you. When life gets tough it can be so hard to know just what to do to put things right. Feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, difficulties within our relationships - these things are not always easy to change on our own, especially for the longer-term. As a professional Counsellor and Therapist, I believe that counselling can help you to make sense of these often complex issues. It can make a real difference to how you see things, feel, how you act, and provide a big step forward. Simply put, counselling can be a very effective way to make your life better.

I’m an experienced therapist and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy [BACP]. I offer a supportive, safe and confidential space where clients are helped to explore and understand difficulties arising from past or present experiences. I am located in Faversham and work with all ages (including children and adolescents) carrying out short term and long term therapy. I offer a free initial telephone consultation and if you wish to proceed with therapy I can arrange a face to face appointment within a week. Day & evening appointments are available.

Welcome, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them" Maya Angelou. Are you thinking past experiences are impacting on your life now, your relationships, family, or your work, and feeling stuck. Perhaps there is trauma in the past: a childhood experience when no-one was there to understand, a single terrifying incident, bullying, boarding school, adults experiencing abusive relationships. Would you like to understand and find resolution and hope to face the future with confidence and resilience and improve your relationships. We all need help sometimes.

I am a qualified BACP Accredited Integrative Counsellor and EMDR Practitioner, warm, approachable and work in a collaborative and pragmatic way, with the aim to provide you with the space and opportunity to restore and develop new ways of coping.  I have been working with people for over 10 years within the NHS and privately, who have been experiencing difficulties in their lives, emotionally distressed or struggling in some way.  This may be with anxiety and depression, low self esteem following a relationship break up, or have gotten into the habit of thinking about themselves or the world negatively.

Contacting a counsellor can feel anything from scary and daunting to empowering or everything inbetween. I offer a safe space to support you explore your feelings either short term or long term depending on your needs. Counselling is about seeing you as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms or problems we are more than that. An important part of counselling is developing a trusting relationship providing a space to share without fear or judgement.

Hello - I am Dr Charis Green, a Clinical Psychologist and Equine Assisted Therapist with 10 years experience working within mental health in the NHS. I know how powerful therapy is, and I also know how animals can help in making therapy feel safer and easier to engage with. I have developed Beyond the Clinic Room to offer Equine and Canine Assisted Psychological Therapies, combining the therapeutic power of animals, in nature, with the high level of knowledge and experience of a Clinical Psychologist. At the heart of my approach is building safe relationships and trauma informed care, for both our clients and animals.

Through therapy you can find out things about yourself that will help you understand what is going on for you and help to develop your own understanding and gradually learn more about your innermost parts and lead the way to greater acceptance of yourself. This is awareness and will help you feel more empowered to choose to do things differently. I believe this work is about being true to yourself rather than being who you think you 'should' be and to reclaim those parts of you that have been denied. It is both challenging and rewarding work leading to emotional healing and growth.

I know these are really difficult times for everybody, there is very clear and understandable fear about what is happening around us & many are suffering directly or indirectly from exposure to Covid-19. Rightfully many of us have isolated ourselves yet this can also create problems triggering or increasing depression and anxiety. Online face-to-face Psychotherapy and Counselling is an effective way of helping to manage and resolve many of the problems created by this threat to our health and well-being as well as presenting the opportunity to help with older “stuff” that may have been triggered by the present crisis.

I’m an experienced clinical psychologist specialising in working with people who have been affected by trauma, depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. I also work with individuals who have issues of self-esteem, loss, adjustment difficulties and ambivalence.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unsure of how to navigate life right now? I offer talking, walking and creative therapy outdoors, indoors and by telephone so we can work together to explore and understand your feelings, underlying reasons and how, if at all, you would like life to change. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, stressed or challenged by life and your circumstances, talking your thoughts and feelings through can help provide emotional support and the space to explore how to cope. How we feel (or don't feel) is often a clue as to what is working well for us, or what might need to change to lead a fulfilling life.

Do you want to take charge and make positive change? Are you feeling anxious, stressed or overwhelmed with the challenges of life? Are you unsure where to turn? I offer a warm, confidential, and non judgmental environment to talk and truly be heard.

Life doesn't get any easier does it? Juggling work, relationships and family can be stressful and confusing, leaving us feeling emotionally drained. Sometimes the harder we work to please others, the tougher we are on ourselves. This can make us feel less than good enough. Deeper feelings of anxiety, sadness and anger can be painful and scary, so we become very good at burying them until they build up and overwhelm us. If you are experiencing feelings that are hard to manage I can help you.

It takes tremendous strength and courage to reach out and finally say - something's not working. It can be easy to put aside our doubts, worries, traumas and behaviours, and let our busy lives take the lead. Yet as you know, these feelings don't just disappear, and one day something builds up within us that makes us say - 'ENOUGH, I need to deal with this.' Naturally, our first step is to reach out to friends, family, or colleagues, and although we respect their opinions, do we truly allow ourselves to be vulnerable within these relationships?
