Mide Beaumont

I am currently available to see clients for weekly sessions from my therapy room in central Tunbridge Wells and via phone or Zoom.  I'm available on weekdays during the day and may also have some evening sessions available. 

Deciding to start counselling might feel like a significant step. You may find it helpful to have a short conversation with me to find out more about me and what I offer, and ask any questions. I am very happy to talk with you by telephone - there is no charge for this and no obligation to proceed any further after we speak.

As a counsellor, I'm committed to providing my clients with the opportunity to talk about their experiences and feelings. If you decide to work with me, I will give you a safe, compassionate and confidential space to feel heard and understood.

There are times in our lives when things just don’t feel right. You  might be struggling to work out who you are and what you want from life.  You may be feeling dissatisfied and stuck but not know what or how to change.

Are you finding it hard to cope with life’s challenges – feeling stressed, unfulfilled or lonely? Maybe you've been deeply affected by specific events and loss – perhaps the death of a loved one, relationship breakdown, redundancy or illness?

Life’s events and what we experience can impact us in many ways. Is what you're experiencing affecting your relationships and leading to behaviour that you're neither happy nor comfortable with? Are you experiencing painful feelings, including anger, sadness, vulnerability, guilt and shame – sometimes causing anxiety and depression? 

Having a counsellor to turn to can help.  

An experienced counsellor, I work with adults of all ages on wide ranging concerns - see below.  I can support you on these and other issues.   

It is important that you feel able to trust me as your counsellor. I am fully committed to working confidentially and ethically with my clients and I work in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

I apply the values and principles of the Framework in all aspects of my work, including my counselling sessions with clients, how I store and manage information and in my communications by email and phone. I am required by law to comply with the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation under the Data Protection Act 2018. I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (reference no: ZB294094).

If you are interested in starting counselling we will have one or more introductory meetings, at a mutually convenient time, to talk about the issues that have brought you to seek counselling. Then you can decide if you feel comfortable working with me and I can assess whether I can be helpful to you. There is no obligation to proceed beyond this point.

If we agree to proceed, I offer open-ended counselling where we would meet for 50 minute sessions on the same day and time every week. I also offer time-limited counselling (for example 6 or 8 sessions) for people who wish to focus on and explore a specific issue.

My fee for introductory meetings and counselling sessions is £60.00.  Concessionary rates may be available in some circumstances.
