Counselling in TN1

I am an experienced, Humanistic counsellor, practising from a central location in Tunbridge Wells. There may be a number of reasons why you are looking for counselling. You might be feeling anxious or depressed, having relationship issues, trying to process a loss or change or simply be struggling to cope. Whatever the issues you are facing, I provide a warm. supportive and confidential relationship in which you can explore your feelings and current difficulties, look at any unhelpful patterns of thought or behaviour and find better ways to manage the issues that you are facing.

We are a small group of therapists led by Tim Potter. Working from therapy rooms in Tunbridge Wells and Harley Street. For over 22 years we have worked to help people with anxiety, addiction, depression, and other areas of specialism such as post-natal depression, bereavement, and OCD. We receive most of our referrals through word of mouth. You can expect us to look for a therapist who best suits your needs, and if for some reason we cannot, we can recommend trusted others that are not a part of the practice.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, sometimes in crisis, sometimes tired from carrying around the effects from their past and often exhausted from the pressures within their everyday lives. Whatever has brought you to a place where you are seeking help I believe that given a non-judgemental, safe space, in which to sift through everything, we all posess an inherent ability to heal. Deep down we know what is good for us and what isn't working for us and given the opportunity to peel off all of those defenses that we wrongly assume protect us from something, we have the potential to not only heal but to grow.

Are you pregnant or a new parent? Are you struggling with sickness, anxiety, depression or symptoms of trauma after a difficult birth? There are many reasons that pregnancy and birth may not feel like the magical experiences we have been told to expect. If you are finding it hard to enjoy pregnancy or parenthood our team of specialist Clinical Psychologists can help. If you are struggling you may believe there is something "wrong" with you but the truth is all mental health problems happen for a reason. We will help you work out why your difficulties began in the first place so we can offer you the most effective therapy.

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.

There are times in our lives when things just don’t feel right. We might be struggling to work out who we are and what we want or finding it hard to cope with life’s challenges – feeling stressed, unfulfilled or lonely. At other times we can be deeply affected by specific events and loss – perhaps the death of a loved one, relationship breakdown, redundancy or illness. What we experience can impact us in many ways, affecting our relationships and behaviour and bringing on painful feelings, including anger, sadness, vulnerability, guilt and shame, sometimes leaving us anxious and depressed. Having a counsellor to turn to can help.

Hello, and welcome to my profile! Counselling can change lives, and if you are looking to change yours, I might be able to support you through the journey. Maybe you feel the need to talk or have been feeling anxious for some time. Or experience family problems or bereavement. Difficult feelings could be overwhelming, you may feel that you would like to change something and you don’t know where to start. Engaging in therapy can help you to explore where you are now, where you would like to be and how you can get there.

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.

We can often feel as if things have got too much, that we are struggling to understand why we feel so worried or unhappy, or feel disconnected to those around us. Often, what helps is talking about our difficult feelings with someone who will listen without judging us, and help us to feel confident enough to explore our problems, hopes and fears. I specialize in helping people think through their difficult feelings, understand what has driven them in the past and present, and to make changes in the way they think and act so that life feels enjoyable again. When it works well, psychological therapy can be life changing.

I have a diploma in Transactional Analysis in Psychotherapy and I work with adults and young people age 13+. I specialise in working with people’s relationship with food, which includes supporting those with eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and night eating disorder, amongst others. I also work with loved ones of those struggling with an eating disorder. I offer coaching for those who would like to explore their eating patterns or to manage their obesity which involves supporting you to make lifestyle changes as well as promoting healthful behaviours.

I work with adults and teenagers in Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding areas. My style of counselling is built using the foundation of the Humanistic approach. This uses my genuine, empathic, non-judgemental qualities to create a secure, supportive relationship with my clients. Within this safe framework, I am able to assist my clients in working through painful emotions, anxious or destructive behaviours, inner child healing, survival patterns and fears that cause blocks that keep us from living & experiencing life in a way that allows the happiness and serenity you deserve.

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.

Creative psychotherapy helps people think, feel and express themselves in a less guarded way. I see individuals, couples, children and families and run retreats in the south of France. I am based near Chiddingfold, Haselmere and Godalming. Through a more playful approach you are helped to feel more at ease. When facing problems it is often difficult to express ourselves in a solely verbal way as unconscious defences can inhibit real engagement with therapy and therefore can fall short of reflecting our true feelings. Psychotherapy has adapted by integrating techniques that draw on creativity.

A crisis is often a call to personal growth and development, to find a new path through life. The drive of the unconscious part of our nature is towards wholeness. In analysis we listen to the compensatory, complementary and sometimes prospective communication from the unconscious....hearing the voices of the soul balancing the relationship of conscious and unconscious. Individuation is the process of coming into psychic balance. In analysis you can learn to listen and understand your inner voice, gain a deeper sense of self, meaning and purpose in life, to become the person you are meant to be.

I'm an accredited Psychotherapist and Mindfulness Teacher. I offer short-term and open-ended therapy using a holistic approach to treatment and each individual client. My training includes: Psychodynamic & Integrative approach, CBT, Clinical Psychology, Understanding Your Eating & Mindfulness. My work with clients focuses on taking a compassionate approach which seeks to increase insight, self-esteem & self-care. I believe that cultivating self-compassion is a key to promoting and sustaining long-term behaviour change. Overall, I offer a safe, trusting, reliable and consistent therapeutic relationship in which clients can explore their difficulties, and enjoy their life, work and relationships.

I am a fully qualified Counsellor and accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I offer face to face, online or outdoor sessions and am experienced in working both short and long term. I'm down to earth and aim to create a relaxed, safe and confidential environment in which you feel able to be yourself and talk freely. You might be struggling with anxiety, feeling uncertain about your life choices or having relationship difficulties. Whatever you want to talk about, counselling can help to build greater self-awareness and in turn more clarity and choice in how you move forward.
