Counselling in Tunbridge Wells

When you’re struggling with your mental health, reaching out to find the right person who will listen as you share your innermost feelings is a big step.

My name is Katya, and I’m a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, a mindfulness instructor and a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I’m passionate about working with women and men who are depressed and anxious, or have experienced trauma.

I offer a safe and welcoming place to process your experiences, helping you to gently come to terms with the feelings you are facing.

I am qualified to help with issues such as sexual abuse, childhood trauma, domestic abuse, relationships, work stress, bereavement, suicide, gender identity and sexuality. My aim is for you to feel heard and accepted. This may be the first time you've spoken to anyone about your experiences, or perhaps you'd like to find new ways of coping - whatever you are going through, together we can find a way to regain your balance.

Tailored counselling in Tunbridge Wells

Having been trained in a range of therapies, I tailor the therapy individually to you. If you need a friendly, listening ear and a person to share feelings in a non-judgemental space, I can provide that for you.

If you’re looking for a more practical way to cope with feelings, I can offer CBT and mindfulness (see my blog post What is Mindfulness? for more information).  For those who want to look deeper, I work using psychodynamic methods, which can include transactional analysis, narrative and creative therapies. For those who are dealing with trauma, please take a look at the Trauma Therapy page for more information on how I can help you specifically in coping with trauma.

However you’re feeling, I will walk with you on your journey to recovering your peace of mind. Situated in a stately home, our therapy rooms provide a calm and relaxing setting to begin your recovery. If you’d feel more comfortable walking and talking, the beautiful grounds at the estate can also be used for walking therapy.

Location

My therapy rooms are based in the Salomons Estate in Tunbridge Wells, a Victorian mansion with over 30 acres of tranquil gardens, parklands and woodland. The estate is easily accessible by road from Tunbridge Wells and nearby towns and villages.
