Juliet Kingston

I am a pure Gestalt psychotherapist, working on a face to face basis from my office just on the outskirts of Romsey.  I offer spaces on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and sometimes have other times available on other days.  I am flexible on times to allow for shift workers.

I am a trained Gestalt psychotherapist although mostly work with people needing shorter term therapy.

I am a registered accredited and experienced counsellor and a pure Gestalt psychotherapist. My aim is to enhance your awareness of how you think, feel and make contact with others in your world. The word Gestalt means the 'whole' so my intention as a Gestalt therapist is to help facilitate your self understanding and therefore enable you to integrate parts that have become less 'integrated and whole'. There will also be an opportunity to explore what introjected values you have learnt and whether or not they are working for you in the present. More awareness leads to a feeling of being more in control of our lives. I qualified as a person centred counsellor in 1999 and then went on to do another four years Gestalt psychotherapy training to qualify as a Gestalt psychotherapist.  I really understand the value of offering a safe environment and a good relationship for the work to take place. I have worked with adults and young people since qualifying as a counsellor in 1999 and work differently with every client.  In the summer there is the opportunity to do walk and talk sessions where we find a place that feels safe enough to explore personal issues without the, sometimes intimidating, experience of sitting opposite a counsellor and talking. 

I am also an experienced supervisor and have worked with qualified therapists and trainees since 2001. I generally work from my purpose built converted garage in Romsey, and am available on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings although other times during the week may be available if that does not suit you.  I have a website: www.romsey-counsellor.co.uk I can also be available for online sessions for counselling or supervision. If I feel that I cannot help you personally I can certainly point you in the direction of someone who can. I look forward to hearing from you and can offer a fifteen minute free assessment session online at your convenience.

I am a Gestalt therapist working mostly in the here and now and we can look at how the past is replaying in the present and is problematic for you.  We can explore any part of your life that is difficult to talk to other people about, in a confidential and safe space just for you.  We can work at the same time each week or, where possible, be more flexible in our timings.  Weekly sessions are recommended at the early stages of counselling although some people also just appreciate a one off session to talk through or offload things that they cannot talk to anyone else about.

I offer a free 15 minutes assessment session online.  I can send you a link through your email address.  When you receive the email from me,  press on the link and it should automatically connect you to me and you will be placed in a 'waiting' position where you will stay until your allocated time when I can let you in.  If you decide to start therapy with me the normal sessions are up to 60 minutes including time to sort out our diaries for the following session.  

I have space to offer supervision on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday mornings but can look at other spaces available if needed.

I am a fully qualified and experienced supervisor, I use my experience of being a Gestalt psychotherapist to inform the way I work with supervisees.  I have worked for the last 23 years consistently with supervisees who are qualified and experienced or currently in training to become counsellors.  I have also worked within the local college as a tutor and supervisor of students who are working towards the Counselling Diploma.  I work from home in Romsey in a room separate from my house which is specifically designed for counselling and supervision. I also work with managers who need supervision for work with employees and have experience of supervising  domestic abuse support workers. 

I supervise collaboratively and offer 23 years of experience of looking at difficulties that may arise between clients and counsellors - my work is essentially looking at how to build and maintain these important relationships.  I also support managers in their managerial roles which may or may not be in the counselling context.

I offer a selection of sessions either face to face or on social media.  It is useful to have the option of internet supervision once we have met for the first time.  Working online offers more flexibility around time availability. 

I can be contacted for a free 15 minute zoom assessment to see whether my approach is what you are looking for in a supervisor.
