About me and my therapy practice
Are you feeling lost, stuck or overwhelmed? Perhaps something has happened that has left you struggling to cope, or you've reached a point where the ways you've been managing things no longer seem to work. You may know what you think and feel, but find it difficult to understand why you keep getting caught in the same patterns. Or perhaps you simply have a sense that something needs to change, without knowing quite what.
I'm Becky, an integrative counsellor, and I offer a warm, accepting space where you can explore what's happening for you without judgement. I believe that counselling works best when we can develop a genuine, trusting relationship in which you feel able to be yourself.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw from different therapeutic approaches and adapt the way I work to you, rather than expecting you to fit a particular model. We might explore your present circumstances, relationships and emotions, or look at experiences from your past that may still be affecting you. We can also think together about what might help you move forward.
I don't see you simply as a collection of problems or symptoms. I'm interested in the whole person, including the things that give your life meaning and the parts of yourself that may have become lost, hidden or difficult to express.
Creativity and connection with nature can also have a place in our work if they feel helpful to you. I'm an artist, poet and singer, and I welcome creative ways of exploring experience alongside talking. I also offer walk-and-talk counselling when appropriate, once we've established our therapeutic relationship.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you come. We can start wherever you are.
Practice description
I offer individual counselling for adults from my peaceful wooden counselling cabin in my wildlife-friendly garden in Faversham, Kent, as well as online.
People seek counselling for many different reasons. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, grief, relationships, life changes, trauma or a difficult transition. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or simply unsure how to move forward. You may be living with neurodivergence, chronic illness or fatigue, or be exploring questions around identity, creativity, spirituality, meaning or purpose.
Whatever brings you, I aim to offer a space where you don't have to pretend that everything is okay. You can bring the difficult, complicated or confusing parts of your experience and we can explore them together, with curiosity and compassion.
My practice is deliberately warm and informal. I want the counselling room to feel like a place where you can breathe, think and be yourself. I welcome people of all faiths and beliefs, and people with no religious faith, and I aim to provide an inclusive and respectful space for people from all backgrounds and identities.
Sessions are 50 minutes and normally take place weekly. My fee is £50 per session. Online sessions are also available.
If you're unsure whether counselling, or whether I might be the right counsellor for you, I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute introductory call. There is no pressure to continue afterwards.
My first session
Your first session is a chance for us to begin getting to know each other and to talk about what has brought you to counselling. We can explore what has been difficult for you, what you might hope to get from counselling and what you feel you need at this point in your life.
We'll also talk through the practical side of working together, including confidentiality and its boundaries, the counselling agreement and how our sessions will work.
You don't need to arrive with a prepared explanation of your life, a clear diagnosis or a list of goals. You may not even know exactly why you're feeling the way you do. That's okay. Finding a starting point can be part of the work itself.
I won't expect you to tell me everything in the first session. We can take our time and allow the work to develop as trust grows.
Before we meet, I'll send you the information and forms you'll need. There is no formal assessment to complete beforehand.
The first session is charged at my usual rate of £50 for 50 minutes.
If you'd prefer to speak to me before committing to a first session, I offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute introductory call. This gives you an opportunity to tell me a little about what's bringing you to counselling, ask any questions you have and get a sense of whether I might be the right counsellor for you.
