Juliet Priest

I am an integrative counsellor offering in-person counselling in the Maidstone area, and also online. As an integrative counselling I offer a range of counselling approaches, including person-centred, cognitive, existential & psychodynamic counselling techniques, so sessions can be tailored to your needs.  I offer a warm, empathic service, and have worked in a wide range of settings including young people's services, addiction, and long term mental health care.

Making the decision to come to counselling is often not an easy one.  My aim is to make you feel safe and comfortable to talk openly and honestly.  I offer a warm, confidential space for you to talk through whatever you wish to explore.  

Initial sessions are tailored towards creating a personalised plan, focussing on what your goals from counselling are, and possibly the time frame you are hoping to achieve those goals; some people are looking for a one off session for a specific reason, but many look for longer term counselling. We can work together to make a realistic plan to meet your needs.

My counselling sessions are 50 minutes long and take place in counselling in a well located counselling room in Maidstone. Parking is available and there are good transport links to the practice.

Counselling sessions are non-judgemental and focussed entirely on your best outcomes.  They are confidential, allowing you to feel safe to share whatever it is that you need to explore.

I offer a short initial consultation by phone free of charge, to discuss a little about what is bringing you to counselling. I can then arrange an initial 50 minute session to discuss in more detail what you are hoping for from therapy and the confidentiality agreement.  I work from a counselling room in Maidstone for face o face sessions, and via zoom or WhatsApp for online sessions.  The counselling process starts from this first full session, and we refer back to your requirements and needs from counselling in regular reviews throughout the ongoing counselling.
