In Person Counselling in West Malling

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.

Hi I'm Alice, Does your anxiety or stress feel overwhelming and difficult to cope with? I specialise in helping clients to understand and manage their anxiety. Counselling empowers you and is life changing. I work with clients whose anxiety is a result of unresolved childhood issues, feeling' different', or have lost a sense of who they are. This impacts on relationships, self esteem, and health. I bring an experienced perspective to the difficulties clients have managing new situations or differences in culture, values, and beliefs. My clients express relief at releasing their shame, loss, or pain. As they heal, they move forward.

If you are suffering from symptoms related to PTSD or complex PTSD, EMDR therapy can help to alleviate your symptoms. Clients working with me using EMDR have found that their symptoms such as flashbacks and/or being unable to go to certain places can be alleviated or reduced to the point where they are manageable. This work is supported with self help techniques to manage new anxieties as and when they may present themselves, but from a new and more adaptive perspective.

I am a qualified counsellor based in Maidstone offering a warm, safe, friendly and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. You may looking to seek clarity, find contentment, talk about family issues or simply breath and talk about your day. You might be experiencing anxiety and need support to talk about how it impacts on your life and explore ways of challenging some of your thinking errors. Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, I am here to listen to you.

Have you been sad and feeling low for some time? Do you fight the urge to run away from your life? Feel angry, conflicted or tearful? Are you battling with repetitive intrusive thoughts? Feel overwhelmed and like you are struggling to hold it together? Counselling can help you to understand that you are not alone, that what you are feeling isn't wrong, bad or beyond help. You will not always feel like you do and with support and therapeutic input, you can restore balance and enjoy your life fully again. I specialise in counselling post natal depression, anxiety, depression, low self esteem and life challenges. Let me help you.

Welcome. Sometimes life presents challenges and the turbulence of these can be overwhelming and may impact negatively on our mental health and emotional well-being. Psychotherapy and counselling offer a safe space to explore your experiences of these difficulties. Seeking help from a professional may be the next step and psychotherapy or counselling gives you the opportunity to look at your life, your problems and concerns. I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with over 30 years experience. In my private practice I work with adults experiencing all aspects of mental ill health concerns, relationship and life issues.

I’m warm and friendly and work in a very person-centred way. This means that I don’t use lots of techniques or give you homework, but rather I work with you to help you understand yourself better, and make decisions or changes.

Find freedom from anxiety and take control of your life... Are you overwhelmed by stress or anxiety? Do you struggle with a fear or phobia? Is your lack of confidence holding you back? Do you dream of freedom to do the things which are important to you? Do you long to be more productive, to get more out of every day? Do you feel stuck in a rut, lacking direction or fulfilment in your day to day life? Are you just desperate to kick a bad habit or to find a way of sticking to your good intentions? Hypnotherapy can help you make the positive and sustainable change you need at a pace that works for you.

Are you feeling worried, stuck, or held back by something that happened in the past? Maybe you feel inadequate in some way, or self conscious. Whatever your problem I'm here to help you feel better about yourself, and more deserving of the life you really want. It's surprising what can be achieved by simply devoting time to talking about your problems with someone who is trained to help you reflect. I'm an integrative counsellor which means that while we mainly talk about the here and now, I sometimes invite you to talk about your past too, in order for you to identify patterns - Your unique experiences effect how you see life.
