We are a small counselling practice in a comfortable, location just outside Tunbridge Wells with private parking. We work online and face-to-face with people struggling to tolerate what life is asking them to deal with. All our counsellors share the view that any problem is legitimate and that every person is worthy of help.
We have a range of counselling skills and will adapt to the nature of the problems we encounter. Kerry is a BACP Integrative counsellor and artist. Currently working online and doing select home visits with those over 18, she is available to discuss any issue.

Choosing a therapist can be one of the biggest blocks when we start therapy, and so it can also become first steps in learning to trust yourself and in taking responsibility for yourself. How do I know if I'm choosing the right person? What if something doesn't feel right?.I wonder if anyone can truly know that beforehand, and perhaps it's ok to try and then to change your mind.
I will welcome you from first contact with warmth and respect and listen to you without judgement. There are no expectations of you to be anything other than yourself. Together we will develop a therapeutic relationship which will offer you a safe and calm environment to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are impacting your present and safely reflect and examine past experiences that may be impacting you in your life today.
Change can be daunting, especially if our best efforts no longer seem to work. No one likes to feel stuck, or lost or out of options as to how to move forward. Grief wears many faces. Relationships can become challenging, worn down or simply no longer viable. Our self-talk can be unhealthy and we can't fathom the true cause.
Anger is often thought of as a bad and negative, wild and violent, but it can be a normal, every day, even useful human emotion and many of us feel it frequently and on different scales. Imagine that door that always sticks that is so annoying, when you pull harder it might be your anger that motivates you and you successfully open it (but maybe not fix it!).
Anxiety and panic Attacks affect at least 1 in 10 of us at some point in our lives and can occur only once or reoccur for years. Although panic attacks can feel overwhelming and as though something worryingly bad is happening to us they are not dangerous and we do not need to go to hospital and usually pass within 5-20 minutes.

I would highly recommend Ben – a real down to earth guy who made me feel very comfortable talking about anything. He was able to help me understand problems from my past by just asking a couple of questions – I did most of the talking and he listened in a very caring manner. Ben will absolutely be my first choice if I need to see someone again in the future.

I worked with Kerry over many months. I found her to be kind, caring and compassionate. She gave me the space to explore my problems without having an agenda of her own - where I led she came alongside supporting me all the way. She was strong enough to hear things I would be worried to tell other people in my life. She encouraged me to work creatively when I was feeling stuck and had a ready sense of humour which I appreciated. Kerry helped me to find parts of myself that I thought I had lost forever. I got a lot out of seeing her.

Having been in regular therapy with a counsellor I am wary of someone new and was surprised by how comfortable I felt working with Ben. I was made to feel through his calm nature and gentle counselling at ease.
Having Ben listen to me was an experience, I felt I was accepted for being myself. I didn't have to wear one of of my masks and act in front of him.
I was given the opportunity to bring anything into the room to discuss. Respect is often given but rarely I accept and believe when people say things to me. Ben to me was genuine, warm and I felt cared for.
