Terry | Integrative counsellor, EMDR therapist

Counselling Whitstable

We can all lose sight of who we really are and what we want from life. Counselling can provide an opportunity to explore and make sense of your experiences, thoughts and feelings so you can reconnect with your inner resources to live life more fully. I offer a space to share whatever is on your mind knowing you will be met with warmth and acceptance.

I take the view there is no single approach to therapy so I draw on a number of therapeutic methods and tailor these to meet your individual circumstances. 

I have a strong background of managing mental health services for over 25 years and extensive experience of a wide range of issues. I’ve worked as a Service Manager in IAPT NHS counselling services, private practice (for seven years) and counselling charities. I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a trained EMDR accredited practitioner and member of the EMDR UK Association.

Specialist work

I offer EMDR psychotherapy. I use this therapy as standalone approach or in conjunction with other therapies. EMDR therapy can help people to recover from the symptoms and emotional distresses that are the result of adverse life experiences.

It is a very effective therapy and benefits anyone feeling stressed or not functioning at their best. It is especially helpful for people who have experienced trauma or disturbing life experiences for example, bullying, crime victims, phobias, self-esteem issues, addictions. abuse, anxiety, depression, panic, accidents and PTSD.
