How can I help you?
I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor based near Canterbury in Kent with experience of dealing successfully with a wide variety of client issues.
I
provide my clients with a warm, non-judgmental and empathic environment
in which I use a broad spectrum of proven techniques, well established
strategies and a wide variety of skills including C.B.T. (Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy), Psychoanalysis, R.E.B.T. (Rational and Emotional
Behaviour Therapy) T.A. (Transactional Analysis) and Person-Centred
Counselling.
Being able to incorporate a range of skills can help to
reduce therapy time and improves the chances of a successful outcome.
You
do not require a referral from a doctor to see me. Our first session is
an hour in which we have an opportunity to meet, discuss your concerns,
and take the first steps along the road to addressing them.
Some
may have a very real and natural nervousness and reluctance before
starting a course of counselling. For many this prevents them from using
a well established and proven solution to a wide range of issues which
may be impacting on their quality of life. My experience so far is that
clients feel much more at ease by the end of our first session together.
After
this initial session you will be under no obligation to take further
counselling with me if for any reason you decide against it.
If
you are concerned that you may not be able to fit counselling sessions
into your working day I can make appointments from Monday to Saturday
from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm.
I am a member of both the British
Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and an accredited
member of the National Counselling Society (MNCS). I practice in
accordance with their guidelines and ethical standards.
I am based near Chilham in Kent, about 8 miles from Ashford, Canterbury and Faversham with convenient parking.
For price details please see the costs page. Please note that you can pay for any session by credit card if you wish.

me" page on this website to send me an e-mail if that would be more
convenient for you.Christine Bartholomew
