What we can offer -
Counselling
Our compassionate team of therapists offer a safe space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions, promoting personal growth, resilience and improved well-being.
Warm and empathic in our approach, we specialize in helping people make sense of their problems, identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and stress.
In talking through your situation, sharing your thoughts & expressing your feelings, it can feel as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Helping you to come to have a better understanding of both how you feel and what to do, to heal and move forward.
Be supported from the comfort of your own safe space with our online counselling service or join us face to face at one of our clinics in Kent. Whether you are an individual looking for someone to turn to, an individual or couple seeking psychosexual therapy, or a therapist who requires professional supervision, you can find everything that you need right here with us.
Psychosexual Counselling
My aim is to help you improve the physical and relational intimacy between you and your partner and to overcome or manage any sexual difficulties you’re having. Whatever your gender, sexual orientation or relationship status, sex therapy can support you to feel more comfortable about getting intimate.
Having sexual difficulties can feel very isolating. You may feel self-conscious and unable to speak up about them, whether that’s having an honest conversation with your partner or reaching out to a professional. The truth is, sexual problems are very common and the best way to tackle them is to talk about them.
If the problem is affecting your relationship, being honest and open with your partner about what’s happening is a great first step. For some, this alone is enough to help work through the problem. For others, more support is needed. This is where psychosexual therapy comes in.
Supervision
Regular supervision is not only an ethical responsibility but also an important part of working to professional standards, protecting both the therapist and the client . As such, it is required by the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, published by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP):
‘We will keep skills and knowledge up to date by … reviewing our knowledge and skills in supervision or discussion with experienced practitioners’ (paragraph 14b).
As with therapy, a good supervisory relationship is central to the success of the work, it is a collegial process, where work is explored to ensure you are working ethically, within your competency and within professional boundaries in a safe and confidential space. Here you can reflect and discuss all aspects of your practice, without breaching client confidentiality. This allows you to reflect on the impact of your work on your personal practice and follow the highest professional standards.
Regular support with our work allows us to process and offload what’s happening for us in the room. It provides an opportunity to reflect honestly about our client work, exploring all aspects of your practice, discussing individual cases in depth and reviewing or adapting your practice to improve your effectiveness in the room. Supervision supports us to hone our instincts, to draw from our personal experiences and learn how we can care for ourselves and our clients in the most effective way.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing or EMDR is a powerful psychological treatment for traumatic memories but also many other psychological problems such as anxiety issues, depression, phobias, psychosexual issues amongst other things.
EMDR is a treatment that enables traumatic memories to be reprocessed so that they do not evoke such painful and distressing emotional reactions. Trauma memories can vary in severity, and whilst it isn't possible to completely erase these memories, the process of EMDR can alter the way these traumatic memories are stored within the brain - making them easier to manage and giving you more control over how you experience them, allowing you to gradually come to terms and move on from the experience, developing more healthy coping mechanisms.
