Therapy Practice

“Psychotherapist & Counsellor. 30 years experience with the NHS & as a Private Practitioner. From London, recently moved practice to Kent.”

About Us

We are a registered mental health service in Folkestone, Kent serving adults and families. We offer trauma counselling, family therapy, coaching, and stress management in one-to-one and group formats. Our clinicians include Chartered Psychologists and Senior-Accredited Psychotherapists.

Approach

Having worked across NHS and private settings, we bring a pragmatic, client-led rhythm to each session that balances careful listening with gentle challenge. Sessions, offered in Folkestone and remotely in English, move at a pace you set — some weeks focus on holding difficult emotions, others on short, practical steps to ease stress or shift family patterns between meetings. We use clear, collaborative reflection and simple tools so change feels manageable day-to-day. People seeking thoughtful, steady support often find this approach helps them build lasting confidence.
