Patricia Balompapueng

I currently have some availability on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.

I am a registered member of BACP and adhere to its code of practice and ethical framework. I have come from a business background, and therefore, I experienced first-hand the demand and stress a workplace can bring. After nearly 20 years working in the corporate world and running my own business, I have decided to retrain as a Counsellor. I have completed my training at the Tunbridge Wells Counselling Centre, which was historically affiliated with WPF.

I also completed training to volunteer as a mentor for secondary school children aged 11+, and gained hands-on mentoring experience at one of the secondary schools in Tunbridge Wells.

I offer counselling to those who need help navigating difficult life events or everyday challenges that seem hard to shake. It may be a loss, a change in life circumstances, or a desire to make a change or cope with a certain issue. Talking about it may give some relief from the pressure and help manage the anxiety to move on in life.

I work with the unconscious process, why we do what we do, how it affects our relationship with others, and what our understanding is about ourselves and others.

I provide a warm and safe space for us to talk about your feelings, thoughts and experiences, with the hope of helping you find a better way to move forward. 

Sessions can be online and in person.

I offer a free 10-15 minutes telephone consultations and at the end you may book an assessment session.

The assessment lasts for 50 minutes, during which I get to know more about what it is that you are looking for from counselling, and if you wish to continue.

Each session last for 50 minutes and starts promptly at the agreed time.

I offer a block of 6 sessions, with an opportunity to review the therapy in the 4th session. You may choose to end therapy on the 6th session or choose to move to open-ended sessions, in which you will decide when to end therapy.

It is important to give some time for an ending, and therefore, a minimum of 2 weeks' notice is required.
