Abbi Bradford

I offer counselling sessions on a Wednesday evening from 5pm until 8pm.  Please get in touch with me to check availability.

I can offer listening, validation and support when you need it most. My relational style of counselling provides the space for you to explore and make sense of your experience, while fostering the resilience you need to meet life's challenges.

I am a BACP registered counsellor offering support with all forms of emotional difficulty and distress including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self-esteem issues and loss. My approach is integrative, bringing together elements of several different psychotherapy approaches: person-centred; cognitive; psychodynamic and existential.

Working integratively enables me to counsel in a way that is uniquely tailored to you and your situation. It allows me look at the bigger picture with you: to explore how your present has been impacted by your past, and to utilise this awareness to help you to find a way forward.

I have a relational approach to counselling, using the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship to impact on the work itself. My warm and empathic listening style provides an environment in which the you can explore your thoughts feelings and behaviours in complete confidence and without judgement.

I work from a spacious and comfortable therapy room in the historic Pantiles area of Tunbridge Wells.

My counselling sessions are 50 minutes long; allowing you the time and space to explore whatever is most present for you in the moment.  

I am able to offer both long and short-term therapy to clients on a weekly basis.

At your first session I will complete a short assessment with you to give me an understanding of what has brought you to counselling. I will ask about your current situation, the support network that you have around you, and what you want the outcome of your counselling to be. This will provide a starting point for your therapy.

If you would like to find out more about how I can help you before committing to counselling, I am able to offer a free 20 minute 'getting to know me' telephone call.
