Anna Laslett-Borja

I am based in Faversham, Kent and online.

My sessions are 50 minutes long. I am available for face-to-face sessions in my private practice room, online counselling sessions via Zoom and telephone sessions (or a mixture of these depending on what you need). 

My availability is flexible and I work from Monday to Friday. 

I would be happy for you to leave a phone message for me or contact me by email if you'd like to find out more. You could also contact me through my Facebook page ALB Counselling. 

I aim to get back to you within 24 hours.

Welcome to ALB Counselling based in Faversham, Kent and online. 

I welcome anyone who needs counselling and work with adults and teenagers who are often vastly anxious or describe themselves as overthinkers. 

I tend to attract people who are high achievers in work or in school, often shy or introvert personalities. My clients tend to be climbing a career ladder or enduring a highly pressured working environment. They are typically "at the top of their game" but feeling uncomfortable on the inside.

They tend to feel crushed by pressure or perfectionism. They overthink the smallest interactions, struggle to set boundaries or simply say how they feel when its most important to them.

Often my clients experience a traumatic life event or loss that is the "last straw". Thus is when their anxiety takes over. Their quality of life becomes deeply impacted and they need a helping hand from a qualified therapist. 

I am honoured to be that person.

I offer counselling that embraces all versions of "you".

Have you had enough of feeling stressed, low or "not good enough"?

Do you want to speak your truth and not feel judged?

Are you longing to stop feeling lonely and connect better with your friends and family?

I am here to help you.

I offer integrative therapy that works with all parts of the individual and incorporates self-love and kind practices.

I will help you to:

- Feel lighter and clearer in your thoughts, relieved and hopeful.

- Become connected to those you love and more motivated to live the life you want.

- Let yourself relax and turn down the noise of your internal critic.

I have a wealth of experience in counselling adults and teenagers.

I regularly work with people who are struggling with pressures from work, family or school, body image, obsessive thoughts or struggling to communicate effectively with friends, family or colleagues.

My specialist areas are:

- Anxiety and panic disorders

- Low mood, lack of motivation and low self-worth

- Strained family relationships

- Depression

- The experience of neurodiversity

- Traumatic memories

- Bereavement and loss

- Therapy for trainee counsellors

I work with AXA, Aviva, BUPA, Vita Health Group and Care first EAP.  You can refer yourself through these organisations or contact me first to get help with doing this.

This is a space for us to talk through what is affecting you and how we might work together. 

We discuss what your expectations are and what I can offer. Our first session is a really valuable time for exploring what you'd like to achieve with my help and together we set realistic goals for how this can happen.

I feel it is so important to be honest with each other and I'd like you to feel confident to ask me anything you're unsure about or would like more information on in this session.

This is our chance to get to know each other and your opportunity to see whether you feel comfortable to work with me. 

It is our basis for starting what can potentially be a profound and life-changing experience for you. I value your hopes and where you'd like to be so I take time at this stage to explore this with you.

I have availability for both face-to-face and online Supervision and offer sessions from Monday to Friday.

I am an Integrative Therapist (MBACP Accred), Supervisor and Counselling Trainer with over ten years' experience in this field. Having broad expertise in supervising trainee counsellors and helping professionals, I am currently formalising my Supervision training with CSTD Bath. 

I offer Supervision to people who work in the helping professions and this includes counsellors, psychotherapists, coaches, educationalists, social workers and healthcare professionals. I bring a depth of knowledge and experience as a helping professional myself and value the opportunity to offer this to others in the field. As a qualified Counsellor of Children and Young People, I am glad to be able to offer Supervision to professionals working with young people.

I work with counsellors at all stages of their professional therapist journey whether in training, in placement or based within organisations or in private practice. My Supervision practice puts your relationship with your client at the forefront and is informed by the Seven-Eyed Model of Supervision, which explores the various factors that can impact the helping relationship. 

I believe that effective Supervision is collaborative, supportive, encouraging and empowers therapists and helping professionals to take ownership of their own work with confidence. My Supervision supports helping professionals to grow and develop as practitioners, maintain career longevity, avoid burnout and stay accountable to professional and ethical standards. 

My aim is to offer you a space safe enough to explore all corners of yourself as a helping professional and of your work without fear or shame. I am proud to bring a unique approach to my Supervision, combining warmth and professionalism with a wealth of experience both in the UK and abroad.

I offer face-to-face supervision at my practice in Faversham, Kent and online supervision, depending on your requirements. 

Please contact me to discuss what you are looking for and I will arrange a brief phone call with you.

To find out about my Therapy Practice, please see my separate Therapist Listing or view my website www.albcounselling.com.

I can also be found on social media.

Our first session is a great opportunity to find out about each other's professional expertise and experience and lay the foundation for a productive and collaborative working relationship. We discuss your professional needs, working environment and client base and seek to match my experience with what you specifically require.

I look forward to meeting you.
