Barbara Lowden Psychotherapy

Counselling, Psychotherapy and Counselling Supervision: South East & Central London and Rochester, Medway, Kent

Welcome to my website. I hope the following information will be helpful to you, and if you have any questions, please call me on 07854 724502 or email me using the link below, and I will do my best to answer you, as soon as I can.


Counselling and psychotherapy provide a confidential space in which the counsellor or psychotherapist listens to you without judgement and can help you to gain insights into your problems, and ways of dealing with them, to help you live as you would wish. You may find a few sessions sufficient, or you may wish to work in greater depth on yourself over a number of months or longer.

I have been in private practice working with mostly adult clients for 18 years, and am a fully qualified, registered and insured counsellor and psychotherapist.


Issues that I have most experience in dealing with include:

relationship difficulties

anxiety states, including social anxiety/phobia, stress, panic

procrastination

hoarding

inner critic

dwelling on the past and/or worrying overly about the future

difficulty in accepting yourself, and trusting your own judgement and instincts

lacking direction and feeling that life is meaningless

feeling blocked, unable to be creative and not fulfilling your potential

loss, of people close to you, or internal loss of energy and joy.


We can meet for a no-obligation initial consultation to see if we can work together, and this will involve establishing what you want to work on and what you hope to gain from counselling/psychotherapy. This lasts up to 50 minutes and costs £30 in Medway/Rochester and Plumstead, South East London, and £40 in central London.

Once we have agreed to work together, subsequent sessions cost from £35 to £65 – depending on location and your ability to pay. I do understand that the recession, higher prices, frozen or reduced salaries and job insecurity can make you hesitate in committing to spending money on therapy at this time, but it is an investment in yourself and your future. Sessions last 50 minutes, preferably at the same time and day each week, and fees are payable for all sessions unless I cancel or when I am on a break.


I am also a qualified Supervisor for qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists - please see my Supervision page for more information.


In addition, I offer help with essay writing for student counsellors/psychotherapists, from getting started to editing and proof-reading.
