Counselling in TN9
As a woman, do you put other people's needs above your own and find it difficult to say no? Maybe it's hard to say how you really feel or to ask for what you need? Do you find being nice all the time and avoiding upsetting anyone could be taking it’s toll, especially when you already feel stressed and overwhelmed by the many roles and relationships in your life? I wonder what life would look like if you felt calmer and more confident in yourself? How would it change your personal relationships and your life in general? What would it feel like to be able to voice what it is you want? It's certainly challenging being a woman today.

I see clients with a range of difficulties across the lifespan who find themselves in psychological distress and are looking for an understanding and solution to their difficulties. These difficulties may have been lifelong or more recently acquired. They may be showing clinical symptoms such as depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, or OCD as a result. They may want longer term therapy to work on themselves more deeply or they may want short term therapy that is focussed on resolving more specific issues.

You may be navigating a period of challenge, transition, or uncertainty. Perhaps you or your child are seeking a deeper understanding of autism, ADHD, trauma, displacement, or experiences that have shaped your sense of identity, belonging, or wellbeing. You may be looking for greater clarity, emotional balance, stronger relationships, or a space where your experiences can be understood with curiosity, respect, and care.

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, not only to reduce anxiety or low mood, but to make sense of who they are, their relationships, and how they want to live.
Often, this includes people who are already quite reflective, but find that thinking alone hasn’t led to the clarity or change they’re looking for. There may be a sense of feeling stuck, unsettled, or unsure of direction, even when things appear to be functioning on the surface.

I am an experienced and highly professional counselling psychologist working in Tonbridge. I provide a safe, warm and confidential space where you can explore and work through the issues that are bothering you.
At different times of our lives we can all experience difficulties – or we may describe it as ‘not feeling at peace’. Counselling psychology suggest that whatever the nature of the problem that is bothering you, it is always helpful and useful to talk to someone to seek resolution.

Most of my clients are neurodivergent and/or queer and want to explore what that means for them with someone who understands. Are you living with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or the impact of past experiences that still affect how safe you feel in relationships?
Maybe you struggle with low self-esteem, overthinking, trauma responses, or patterns linked to neurodivergence such as burnout or masking? Some clients come questioning their identity, sexuality, or sense of self; others feel stuck using coping behaviours that no longer help. You don’t need a diagnosis, just the sense that something needs understanding.

Some difficulties have obvious causes; others are harder to understand. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, low, stuck in familiar patterns, or sense that something isn’t quite right.
Perhaps you’re struggling with relationships, bereavement, low self-esteem, work-related stress, change, or the impact of earlier experiences. You may recognise patterns in how you feel or relate to others without understanding where they come from or why they’re hard to change.
Or perhaps there’s no single reason—just a sense that life has become harder than it needs to be.

Carrying the effects of trauma can often feel difficult to explain; feeling constantly on edge, emotionally numb, disconnected from yourself or stuck in patterns that feel frustrating.

My approach is warm, compassionate and trauma-informed, offering a safe, trusting space where we can gently explore your experiences together and help you reconnect with the person you truly are.

At times throughout our lives we can find ourselves struggling with certain issues that can come as part of every day life or around a specific event, whether that be a bereavement or loss, feelings of stress and anxiety, addiction, depression or low self-esteem. It is at these times that seeking support can help in working through whatever difficulties you are experiencing and to find a way forward. I am a qualified BACP registered counsellor working with both young people and adults. I have extensive experience in working with bereavement, loss and living with life limiting illness, along with stress, anxiety, and depression.

We all carry parts of our story that shape how we experience ourselves and others. Sometimes these patterns can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, or uncertain about who we are and what we need.
Psychodynamic counselling offers a space to explore these deeper layers — to make sense of the past, understand its influence on the present, and open up new possibilities for growth and meaningful connections.

Hi, I'm Liz. I have experience working with people undergoing life and identity transitions, including divorce, bereavement, midlife, education to work, career change, health challenges, and recent identification with autism and ADHD. I’ve lived, studied and worked in four different countries. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation of how change can shape our sense of identity, belonging and relationships. You might be facing unexpected challenges or feeling stuck in familiar patterns. You might be supporting someone else through a tough time and finding yourself in need of some support too

Website: rhodascantleburycounselling.co.uk Counselling gives you your own time and space to consider what is going on, who you are and who you want to be.

I think it's very brave to acknowledge when there are difficulties in your life and to embark on a journey of change. It is my privilege to accompany individuals on a therapeutic process which enables them to live a more meaningful life. Our journey together can sometimes be a brief stepping stone of goal focused support, or at other times the therapeutic process is longer term and more explorative. I am passionate about supporting neurodiverse individuals as well as individuals who have lived through adverse or traumatic life experiences. I welcome enquiries from all genders and sexualities.

H&N Psychology (Health and Neuro Psychology Services) is a private service offering psychological therapy and educational groups for individuals struggling with their mental health or adjusting to life after illness or injury, or for those with a diagnosis of ADHD/Autism/AuDHD.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
