Dominic Wise

The fact is that we all encounter things in our lives which cause us suffering and pain. Many of us will reach a point where we feel a sense of impass or something which challenges our sense of who we are, particularly as we develop outside of the families we grew up in. 

We aren't born with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts. We aren't born with unhealthy behavious or a sense of low self esteem or shame about who we are. They're the symptoms of how we feel, our life experiences, and how they influence our concept of who we are.

Talking about our thoughts and feeling is difficult, but it can help us develop a better understanding of our true selves and make sense and meaning of our lives, our history, and the things that create the distress we feel. 

I appreciate it can be very difficult to make the first contact, so please feel free to text "Therapy" to 07908722459 and I'll aim to get back to you within 24 hours (Monday to Friday). 

I am based in Shadoxhurst near Ashford, and also offer walk and talk therapy within the grounds of my home. 

My practice is integrative, combining humanistic, cognitive, relational, and psychodynamic theories in order to tailor the therapeutic experience to the needs of my clients. 

I believe the relationship between client and therapist can bring about the most powerful experience for clients, and this is the cornerstone of my practice. 

Having sat in the client's chair, I can understand the magnitude of feelings that the first session with a stranger can bring about. 

Often in life, we're unable to be our authentic selves and speak our truth, so the first session is an opportunity for you to not only speak your truth, but to express any concerns or worries you have, as well as asking the questions you might have about me.
