Gareth Walter

I currently have a therapy room in Sittingbourne and Rochester. I have flexible working hours.  

I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor with extensive experience working with adults, children, and couples. In addition to my counselling practice, I am a qualified clinical supervisor and an approved foster carer. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a non-judgemental attitude, offering a safe and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely.

I work from the belief that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to walk alongside you—to help you reconnect with yourself, understand your emotional world, and empower you to make meaningful changes that enhance your wellbeing and quality of life.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and we lose sight of who we are or where we’re going. Together, we can slow things down, find clarity, and take steps forward with renewed focus and confidence.

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Science, with my dissertation focusing on men's lack of engagement in talking therapy—an area I feel deeply passionate about. I believe in the transformative power of counselling and am committed to providing a space where you feel truly heard, accepted, and supported.

My areas of special interest include:

Inner child work

Attachment and identity

Developmental and relational trauma

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or simply feeling lost, I’m here to support you on your journey back to yourself.

All individual sessions are 50 minutes in duration and charged at £70 per session.

*Please note that Couples Counselling is charged at £80 per session*

Sessions are held on a weekly basis unless otherwise agreed from the outset.

Sessions are to be paid by direct bank transfer 48 hrs prior to the session taking place, or by cash at the end of the previous session. Please note there is no facility for payment by card.

Working on this 'pay per session basis' means there are no big invoices. Sessions are charged at a flat fee with no added VAT.

I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation prior to booking a session. This allows you to decide if you feel I would be the right individual for you to work with.

I offer face to face, telephone, or online counselling sessions. In your first session we will go through the contract agreement followed by a lifestyle and well being assessment. We will identify what you are hoping to achieve from our sessions and use this as the foundation of our work together. 

I am an accredited person centred therapeutic counsellor, relationship counsellor and clinical supervisor. I work in a non-directive and non-judgemental way. My aim is to empower my clients/supervisees to improve their emotional and psychological well being and unlock their optimum quality of life/work.

I believe that you are truly the expert in your own life and I work with my clients/supervisees with this principle in mind. Sometimes life can run away from us and we need to ground ourselves, refocus and move forwards. It is my purpose in life to improve the lives of others.

I am exceptionally passionate about the positive effects that therapeutic counselling/Supervision can offer and I provide a safe and confidential space where you will feel listened to without any criticism or judgement.
