About me and my therapy practice
My name is Kat and I offer hypnotherapy, NLP and counselling. In counselling my main way of working is person-centred, bringing in other methods such as CBT based interventions and Gesthalt as needed.
Using hypnotherapy and NLP it is possible to make changes quickly and effectively, identifying what is going on for you, to find the difference that makes the difference, then using techniques to work with your mind to reset your mind.
What would it be like to have peace and quiet in your head, have less pain, sleep better, be more confident or less fearful?
The goal of your unconscious mind is to keep you safe and sometimes it can be protective and get in your way, limiting areas of your life.
There are a number of techniques than can help to reset you mind. The techniques work fast and make a difference fast meaning you don't need long term sessions.
During counsellling you lead the way with your therapy.
We work together to build a therapeutic relationship which envelopes trust in a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment. It is important that you feel you can be accepted and heard. I will be your guide and encourage you to trust in the process. I am able to offer an integrative approach and can adapt to your requirements
We all have our own perspective of the world and people around us and I want you to tell me your story. In return I can support you to explore whatever comes up for you. I will offer respect, honesty, care and empathy, and the space to allow you to process and explore your own thoughts and feelings.
We all want to feel connected, and this need for connection can lead us to form unhealthy attachments from a young age, which we continue in later life. You can learn about your own attachments and identify recurring cycles. Or you may want to focus on a specific area like anxiety, depression, phobias, pain or confidence.
Change doesn't have to take a long time!
Hypnotherapy and NLP - £95/session
Counselling - £70/50 min session
Practice description
I offer face to face in Maidstone and online sessions.
We will work together to create a focus for your work with you leading the way, whether this is to deal with a current issue that you wish to tackle, to allow you to move forward, a historic life events that still impacts today or a phobia or anxiety that stops you being able to manage everyday life events.
As a professional counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP 391928) your well-being and safety are my priority, and I will always be honest and open with you along your journey and hope that in return you will develop trust and we can build a therapeutic relationship where you feel supported on your journey of self-discovery and change.
My first session
I offer a free initial 30 minute virtual call where you have the opportunity to ask any questions. This call will give me the chance to understand what you are looking for and to ensure that I am able to meet your needs.
This call will allow you to decide whether you feel comfortable and have a sense that I can meet your needs. You can then decide to:
- book a first session
- have a think and contact me later
- or if you feel we are not the right fit just let me know
Hypnotherapy and NLP -
There is no exact time for these sessions, it depends on the work we do together but they would generally not be longer than 1 hour, but could be 10 minutes.
These techniques work quickly and effectively meaning you should not need to access sessions for a long time to notice a change and shift.
Counselling -
At your first session, which will be 50 minutes long either face to face, virtually or by telephone, we will:
- Go into further depth about your expectations and requirements
- Go through a counselling agreement and discuss and agree/ sign
- Discuss areas around confidentiality and when this may be broken.
- Discuss sessions, length, cancellations, fees, payments and contact details
- I will take some personal details that will be kept in line with GDPR and never share your details without consent unless in the case of keeping you or someone else safe.
- Set goals or expectations for your sessions.
I work Online and Face to Face so if you can't get to sessions you can still access support.
I may be able to come to your home in some circumstances, this will depend on factors that we can discuss and there may be a cost for travel.
I would consider doing work in the outdoors which some people find helpful.
