Individual counselling. Sevenoaks, Kent & via Zoom
Offering a space to talk, be heard and explore.
My name is Lorna Sharp, a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor, registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work face-to-face in a dedicated counselling room in Sevenoaks, Kent and also via Zoom.
My main approach is Humanistic, with a person-centred focus. This means that I put you, as the expert on yourself, at the centre of our work together. People come to counselling for different reasons and at different stages of their life and I make no assumptions about what you want and need from counselling. I will listen and let you tell me what is important for you and what you are looking to make sense of.
Creating a space where you can talk openly and honestly, with no judgement, I can support you in exploring any difficult feelings and how these are impacting on your life and relationships, gaining a better understanding of yourself as we walk the path together. Counselling offers you time dedicated to connecting with yourself and processing any challenging experiences and feelings.
I work with adults (16+) and am experienced in supporting individuals who are experiencing anxiety and depression, mental ill-health, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss, disordered eating, menopause, pregnancy and birth, transitional life periods and life-limiting and chronic physical health conditions.
“We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.”
— Carl R. Rogers
How does it work?
You may have been to counselling before or this may the first time you are looking to engage with a therapist. Either way, it can understandably be a difficult step to make. I believe that in order to have a positive experience of counselling, you need to find a counsellor who you feel safe and comfortable with. In the first instance, I offer a short phone call to answer any specific questions and, if you choose, an introductory session, where we can sit together and you can find out for yourself whether I could be the right counsellor for you. Introductory sessions and, if you chose to proceed, subsequent sessions are 50-minutes and are charged at £60.
In-person and remote options
I work with clients face-to-face in Sevenoaks, Kent from a dedicated therapeutic space. For those who prefer or who do not live locally, I offer sessions via Zoom.
