Jude Songhurst Counselling

Hello. My name is Jude and I'm a BACP registered counsellor based in West Kent

Counselling and you

You draw on life experiences to work through your every days, and you take those life experiences into the future. But sometimes, in the present, things don't feel right and those past experiences don't seem to be helpful at all. You might find yourself wondering why. Why do I feel anxious, sad or upset? Why do I feel the way the way I do when I am with a particular person or in a certain situation? If so, perhaps this has left you feeling stuck and unable to see a way forwards?

I work with people who experience that feeling of stuckness. With people whose daily stresses and worries become overwhelming and difficult to manage. With people where a personal or professional situation has taken root and it feels impossible to see how to it can be resolved.You will have space (where you can talk freely without worrying about being criticised or judged) to calm an overwhelmed mind, to look at why you're feeling the way you are and then together, we can find practical ways of moving forwards.
