Lesley Foster

Thank you for visiting my profile.  I see clients face to face in Whitstable or alternatively I can work with you online wherever you live.  I enjoy working with adults of all ages and, this includes students.   

I am an experienced BACP registered counsellor.  My flexible approach provides you with a safe and non-judgemental environment in which we can work together in a way that is suited to you and your preferences. I work with both short and long-term clients either face to face, on the telephone, or online. We can work together for an agreed period on an open-ended basis.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to share your feelings and thoughts with people you know. I am an integrative counsellor, meaning I use a variety of approaches to meet your individual needs. I offer you a safe and confidential space to explore your difficulties and find ways for you to achieve clarity, and a better understanding of self, including your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour, helping you to work towards a better way of living. My private practice is Aspects for Wellbeing, and I am based in Whitstable, I have recently extended my hours to include evenings and Saturday afternoons. This is to help those that struggle with childcare or are juggling work with finding the help that they need at this point in their life. Parking is available onsite. My therapy room offers a confidential space for face-to-face sessions.

I understand how much courage it has taken you to reach out for help to get through a difficult time or to help you better understand yourself. So that you can be confident that I am the right counsellor for you, I offer a free 15 minute online or phone consultation before you commit to sessions. In our first 50-minute session, we will go through the counselling contract and talk through some initial questions about your past and your presenting issues. I will also explore with you what your hope is for the future.
