As an Accredited Member of BACP, British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, Counselling Southeast offers counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples, young people and schools in Kent, East Sussex and South East London, including Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sidcup. Counselling Southeast is able to offer counselling when you want it, without the added stress of months of waiting for help and for as long as you need it.

Counselling and psychotherapy is a strictly confidential, non-judgemental therapy and can help with many kinds of mental health problems, in all age ranges. A client may be feeling they can't cope for some reason, experiencing a crisis in their lives such as a relationship or work related problem or a bereavement; they may be feeling anxious or depressed or simply that they are unable to get on with their lives in a happy and fulfilling way.

Present circumstances, personal or work related, health problems, changes in our lives, past traumas or loss, can all cause us to find it difficult to cope in the present.
Services
During twenty years teaching and training in schools and commerce I had always been a firm supporter of complimentary therapies.
My interest grew further still with my studies in yoga and meditation and I went on to complete a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling, a further two years training in Couple Counselling, as well as training in CBT, (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).
I am currently extending my professional qualifications to include Adoption Counselling.
MY work includes a private counselling practice, clients for the NHS, counselling students in school and teaching and training.
Resolving difficult issues which may be holding you back can lead to a healthier, happier more successful life.
Life has a habit of presenting us with challenges, often in the form of problems or crises.
We can experience these as painful and confusing thoughts and feelings.
Most of the time we can manage to cope with these difficulties in our lives, however, sometimes we can experience them as anxiety, depression or a sense of hopelessness.
We can feel thoughts that seem to go round and round in our minds without ever being resolved.
If counselling is something you have never experienced before you may wonder what to expect.
Clients usually come along with a difficulty that is troubling them which they want to discuss; others may not know what it is about but are just feeling anxious or unable to cope with life.
Often a client may come along with a presenting problem and then find there are other things they would like to talk about.
Sometimes people find it difficult talking about their problems at first as it may be the first time.
Sometimes painful emotions can be overwhelming.
Feelings of being powerless to change things or unable to cope with such strong feelings leads some people to self-harm as it seems the only way of expressing and dealing with very difficult feelings.
It often feels like the pain of self-harm can, for a short time, take away the other pain.
We often think of self-harm as cutting, but it includes all ways in which a person may abuse, hurt, injure or harm themselves.
Research tends to suggest that although one in 12 young people self-harm, the real figure is probably greater than that.
One in Ten children in the Great Britain aged 5 - 16 had a clinically recognisable mental disorder in 2004, Source: Office of National Statistics.
The scale of mental distress and suffering amongst young people is alarming.
More than 4,000 children under 14 have attempted to take their own lives in the past year according to NHS figures.
Recent research by the NCH reveals that as many as 1 in 17 adolescents may be self-harming.
Suicides by young people is second only to road accidents.
The problem of mental ill-health is now realised as so serious the government have set up a review body to look into the provision of mental health services for young people.
