Welcome. I am an integrative Counsellor offering a warm, non-judgemental and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace, offering my clients a space to reflect. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, my role as the therapist is to walk alongside you - supporting you to reconnect with your inner strengths, to make sense of what is going on for you, and move towards greater self-understanding and emotional well-being.

Hi, I'm Rebecca, a qualified counsellor, BACP registered and founder of Serene Skies Counselling. I understand it is such an enormous step to take when recognising you may need counselling, and it can seem a daunting task to find the right person to turn to. I aim to try to make this process as clear and accessible as I can. I believe that by building a foundation of warmth and trust, this therapeutic relationship we form enables you to share your difficulties. My intention is that by offering an accepting, safe, and containing environment for you, we can work towards lasting change.

My Approach

My work is client-led and collaborative, placing you at the centre of my work. I prioritise building a trusting therapeutic relationship, as I believe this forms the foundation for meaningful and lasting change. As an integrative counsellor, I am able to draw upon a range of different modalities, tailoring the work to each individual and your needs, offering my clients a space to reflect. looking at patterns of behaviour which could be linked to your past and how this could be playing out in your current relationships, at your own pace. Supporting you to reconnect with your inner strengths, to make sense of what is going on for you, and move towards greater self understanding and emotional well - being.

I have experience working with young people age 15 onwards who have struggled with anxiety, low mood, friendship difficulties, family changes or social pressures. Emotional distress can present differently in adolescents, which can show up in withdrawal, anger, tearfulness, or a loss of confidence. I aim to provide a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship, allowing young individuals a better understanding of their emotions, finding new ways to strengthen their overall wellbeing, often weaving creative work into the room.

Face-to-face sessions take place within the warm setting of my home. The space is calming and non-clinical. An inviting environment with parking available. Although based in the Medway towns, online counselling makes therapy accessible for people outside of these areas or to those who simply prefer the comfort of their own home.

Holistic Treatments

I also offer Reiki sessions as part of my private practice, promoting overall wellbeing to calm the mind.

It can feel daunting contacting a counsellor for the first time, and for me it is crucial that you pick the right therapist for you, for this reason I offer a free 30-minute telephone consultation. This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to counselling, answer any questions you may have, and see whether we feel we can work together.

If you decide to book an appointment, our first session will be an opportunity for us to explore your needs and discuss what you would like to achieve from therapy, and begin building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, and understanding at a pace set by you.
