Kelly Chater

Hello and welcome. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.

I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever may be troubling you.

I currently have availability for new clients, offering face-to-face counselling from my offices in Bromley and Bexley, as well as online and telephone counselling.

Appointments are available Tuesday to Saturday, with some evening availability.

Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually arranged for the same time on the same day each week, providing consistency and continuity. Fortnightly sessions may also be possible in some circumstances.

If you would like to enquire about availability or discuss whether counselling may be suitable for you, I would be very happy to hear from you.

Concessionary rates may be available for people on low incomes, those who are unemployed or experiencing financial hardship.

I offer a reduced rate for student counsellors attending online sessions, recognising the value of having support during training.

My own life experiences have shaped who I am today. I bring warmth, empathy and a genuine curiosity about each person's unique story and experiences.

I recognise that reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step, and that finding the right counsellor is an important and personal decision. I value the trust involved in sharing something of yourself with another person.

I believe the relationship between counsellor and client is an important part of the counselling process. I aim to meet each person where they are, working together at a pace that feels right for them.

I work with a range of issues and life experiences, including bereavement and loss, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and times of change or uncertainty. I welcome anyone who feels they could benefit from counselling.

I am a qualified and registered counsellor, and my years of working closely with people have given me valuable experience in listening, understanding and building relationships. These experiences have stayed with me and are an important part of who I am as a counsellor today.

I take a neuro-affirming approach, recognising and respecting that everyone experiences the world differently.

Alongside face-to-face, telephone and online counselling, I also offer Walk and Talk sessions, giving you the option of choosing the setting that feels most comfortable for you.

I offer an optional, free 20-minute telephone call before your first session. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have and see whether you feel I am the right counsellor for you.

If you decide to go ahead, your first and subsequent sessions will be 50 minutes and charged at the agreed session rate.
