Louise Kemp

I use an integrative approach in my work as a Supervisor, offering a non-judgemental and collaborative space for other professionals to reflect upon their client work and explore how to support their clients effectively and ethically. 

I have experience of working both in general counselling; helping clients work through a variety of issues, experiences, feelings, difficulties etc, and also as a specialised palliative and bereavement counsellor at a hospice. My hospice role has taught me so much about working as part of a team, offering support to colleagues as well as the patients and families that we support. I bring this experience as a supervisor, understanding how important it is for professionals to be well supported in order to provide the best care possible. This role has also provided me with a deeper understanding and training in safe ethical practice. 

I offer supervisees a collaborative space to reflect on their client work and resolve ethical dilemmas together. I offer a clinical will as part of the supervision agreement, ensuring that your clients will be sensitively notified if you became too unwell to work with them or in the event of death. 

I work remotely, using Zoom as my platform for video meetings. 

I can offer monthly supervision, either on a Wednesday or an evening. 

I do not currently have capacity to take on student counsellors. 

I can offer a discounted rate for our first session of £45 1hr/ £67.50 1.5hrs.

I work remotely, offering video and telephone counselling sessions to anyone in the UK. Please call or email me to enquire about availability. 

I offer an initial free 20-minute assessment call to see if my methods of counselling will be appropriate for your needs. I work in a mostly holistic and person centred way, with integrated mindfulness, CBT and Gestalt techniques, depending on the individual's needs. I offer both short-term and open ended sessions, which can be decided during our assessment call. Discounts available for student counsellors.

I can also offer Walk and Talk sessions locally in Kent. These are subject to client fitness and weather conditions, and can be used alongside remote sessions. 

I have worked with charities since 2019, both as a bereavement group facilitator and as a counsellor. I specialise in palliative and bereavement counselling, but I also have much experience in working with many varied issues, including:

Anxiety

Depression

Bereavement 

Illness

Abuse (physical/emotional)

Sexual abuse (current/historic)

Couples therapy 

Relationship issues 

Family issues 

Financial worries 

Lack of confidence 

Trauma

Psychosomatic symptoms

Plus more.

I offer a free 20 minute assessment call, in which I will ask you for personal data (name, DOB, address etc) as well as a brief outline of the issue that you wish to explore or offload and a risk assessment. We will decide at this point whether short or long term sessions are required. It is important that we both feel comfortable with eachother, in order for Counselling to be most effective. 

Following this assessment, with your agreement, we will arrange an initial 60 minute session, priced at £50 and payable via bank transfer on the day of the session.
