Female Counselling in Canterbury, ENG

Hi there and welcome to Jenny Blain Counselling. I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor & clinical supervisor based in Canterbury. The core of my counselling practise is humanistic but I work in an integrative way, drawing from many different counselling theories to meet my clients' needs. I have experience working in educational settings such as colleges and special educational needs schools as well as in private practise. My clients are teenagers, young adults, adults and couples.

If you are struggling with making sense of the challenges and shifts going on in your life and need some support to make sense of things or if you would like to learn some techniques to support you in grounding, calming your nervous system or to make life feel a little smoother then reach out. I would be happy to support you with this. If you would also like to explore challenges within a spiritual context or thinking in terms of energy, we can absolutely make this a significant part of the therapy.

Hello, I am a qualified and experienced therapist working with adults and adolescents. I have over 5 years experience working with survivors of sexual assault. I am a therapist who is committed to supporting your emotional wellbeing and development. I tailor our sessions to support your unique journey, providing a safe and supportive space to inspire growth, healing and transformation.

I understand that this could be an extremely hard decision to make, to talk to a stranger about how you are feeling, but you have found the strength and taken a big step already reaching out. Working together in a non-judgemental way we can explore whatever brings you to therapy in a safe, confidential way. I believe that building a good rapport, allowing me to work alongside you, will help you gain a deeper awareness of yourself and what brought you to counselling. Discovering inner strength that you have, will support you in your journey moving forwards, if you choose, for you to have autonomy.

Hi. How are you? How are you coping? Do you wish for contentment and vibrancy in life? Do you wonder who you are? Would you like to be seen? Listened to? Do you long to be understood? My name is Alex and I endeavour to provide you with a slice of time that is all about you. I will hold space for your worries, doubts, your joys, and your sorrows. Anything you bring here is welcome.

Have you ever felt that nobody really gets you? Have you ever been thinking I just do not fit in? If only someone would understand you! I know how lonely that can feel. When we find ourselves making the same mistakes over and over again despite following advice from our family or friends, its time to reach out to someone who can give you a better understanding why do we make the choices we make and how can we break the cycle of bad decisions.

Recent times may have had a negative impact on your mental wellbeing or your self-esteem. Existing issues may feel harder to manage, or you may feel an increase in stress or anxiety? Your relationships with your partner, family or friends may have suffered, or you may feel lonely or isolated? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed or stuck? Do you want to make changes in your life but feel unsure how to start? Whatever is happening for you, our counselling sessions will be a safe, supportive space for you to process your feelings, make sense of things and begin to move forward again. I’m here for you and will be with you each step of the way.

Given the latest government advice all sessions will be offered online. I have ten years of experience of working in this way and I am happy to give you guidance to set this up. You will need an internet connection (preferably high speed), a headset and microphone. I can also offer telephone sessions but face to face via an online platform is preferable. Psychotherapy is about being listened to and seen in a particular way. There is nowhere else in life that offers a time and space to focus on your 'self' - your body and your mind. My Kent practice is in the village of Bridge near Canterbury and is easy to reach.

I offer assessment and psychological therapy to individuals and couples across the adult lifespan. I have particular expertise in PTSD, complex trauma, bereavement and grief, anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, health issues, work related stress and burnout, ADHD, eating issues, interpersonal, attachment and relationship difficulties. I am trained in and can offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches. I tailor therapy to your individual needs helping you to make sense of your difficulties and to find new ways of being that help you thrive. I predominantly use CAT, EMDR, CBT and neuroscience based mind-body approaches.

Hi, I'm Nettie and welcome to my practice called My Safe Space Therapy. I'm a fully qualified psycho-therapeutic counsellor with over 9 years experience. I'm a trauma-informed counsellor and I work in an integrative way. Based on my clients' needs, I draw on different counselling theories, such as humanistic, psychodynamic and CBT (and its derivatives). I may also do inner child work, use sand play and props, eg stones and shells, Playdoh and other sensory toys to help the client. I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and I abide by its Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals.

Therapy can be a catalyst for change helping us to regain a sense of control in our lives and begin to live life more towards our true potential. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues that impact on clients' wellbeing, offering support, empathy and a safe space to share their concerns. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, young people on short and long-term contracts in Canterbury and Waltham. I use different approaches and techniques that are tailored to clients' needs, believing that we are all individual and that ‘one size does not fit all’. I have also lived and worked extensively overseas.

Welcome to my profile page. I appreciate that taking those first steps to see a therapist can be scary. We may have fears of being judged, concerns that it might not work out, and with so many therapists out there how do we pick the right one?! These are all perfectly normal thoughts and feelings to have. I will provide a non judgmental, safe space to help you explore the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, to help you reach your goals. I have over 15 years experience working in mental health and substance misuse services and am fully accredited with the BABCP.

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist fully accredited with the BABCP. I am also a training Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist in advanced clinical studies with the Association for Group and Individual Psychotherapy (a UKCP accredited course). My experience has varied from working with child, adolescent and adult trauma, neurodiversity’s such as ADHD, Autism and Sensory Difficulties, to a number of psychological disorders in the NHS and IAPT services. I have worked with a range of ages and diverse backgrounds and my work focus often being related to trauma and self-identity.

I provide ADHD and ASD (Autism) assessments and screenings both face-to-face and remote in the UK using psychometric questionnaires and interviews. Obtaining a diagnosis helps doctors and mental health clinicians tailor treatment plans to meet client needs and make the necessary change in the workplace and educational environments. This ensures individuals receive the necessary support and accommodations to enhance productivity and well-being. An accurate diagnosis opens access to resources and interventions, promoting better outcomes in both personal and professional life.

I have a particular interest and extensive knowledge regarding supporting those who have experienced early life developmental and complex trauma, separation and loss. Often these experiences continue to impact on our lives and abilities to make and sustain healthy and emotionally secure relationships in adulthood. Although psychoanalytically trained my clinical practice uses a range of therapeutic approaches and is predominately informed by attachment based theory. I can offer both short and longer term therapeutic support to individuals, couples and groups.

I am a highly experienced Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I currently work for NHS Talking Therapies and a Community Compassion Service alongside Private Practice. I have spent years studying and many hours listening; this has equipped me to address a wide range of moderate to severe mental health issues, including Trauma presentations. With a deep understanding of the human mind and emotions, I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for individuals seeking support and guidance.

Struggling with stress, anxiety, work-related issues, relationships, discrimination or situations affecting your emotional well-being. These issues could evoke worry, feelings of isolation or fear. You are not alone, by starting your journey with me, it ends with you. Creating the right space allows you to explore what has happened in the past and/or continues to affect you. With support you may be able gain some insight as to why these issues leave you feeling stuck, or repeating the same behaviour. Change is achievable, by developing yourself and building confidence, resilience which may create a happier you.

Relationships can at times be a great source of distress and anxiety; sometimes it’s easy to feel stuck and unable to move forwards. You may be having difficulties with communication, infidelity, intimacy, sexual difficulties, or perhaps you just can’t seem to get along anymore and you’re not sure why. Whether you are experiencing difficulties within your relationship, or find it difficult to form lasting relationships, counselling can give you the space you need to explore and understand these issues. I offer sex therapy and relationship/couple counselling from my base in Canterbury (Kent) and online.

I have extensive experience working with as a therapist online. I work with client´s with specific issues like anxiety and PTSD but also with client who struggle to feel empty as if life lacks moments of happiness or fulfilment. Often it is helpful to understand our current difficulties through exploring past experiences and how they may have impacted upon us. Some people prefer not to think too much about the past, rather focus on managing the day to day. Everyone is different and part of the process is working out what feels most helpful for you.
