Looking for face-to-face counselling in Birchington, Thanet, East Kent?

My private, cosy counselling room in Birchington (CT7) is just a short drive from Westgate, Margate, Minster, Ramsgate, and beyond! With free parking nearby and easy access to public transport (bus stops and Birchington train station within a 5-10 min walk), getting here is simple.

Created to offer comfort and privacy, my therapy space is separate from the house and includes toilet and kitchenette facilities. It’s a calm and confidential environment where you can feel at ease. While there are three steps leading to the entrance, I also offer online video counselling for those who may find this more convenient.

I provide face-to-face counselling for adults on weekdays during the day, subject to availability. If you're interested or have any questions, let's arrange a free, no-obligation consultation call. WhatsApp me on 07841 954337 or visit my profile: https://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/counsellors/angela-wratten

Are you looking for a supervisor that offers more than supervision of your client work? I'm very down to earth and like to work in a supportive and flexible way with my supervisees to meet their business, personal development and their client needs.

I'm person centred/TA in my training background but I'm upfront and do share my experiences and thoughts during sessions. If you want a silent supervisor then that's not me 😜 I work collaboratively and like to support my supervisees to explore together - we often end up enjoying a good debate, back and forth as we learn about and explore their work. We are more than counsellors in PP, we are business owners and human beings as well.

One of the things I've enjoyed the most in setting up my own PP was the opportunity to learn, organise, plan and develop my business to suit my strengths and to use my transferable skills from previous careers. I especially like working with supervisees setting up or looking to build up their PPs.

Here's my website for a better sense of how I work: https://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/supervisor_76908.html

If you are interested in a free consultation/introductory call then send me a WhatsApp message/text on 07841 954337 or messenger and we can go from there. All the best in your search for a supervisor.

Hope you are all ok. I know it can be a tough time of the year for many, even before you factor in the impact that the cost of living etc is having on people and their relationships. If you are struggling please reach out to a friend, family or neighbour or the Samaritans 24/7.

In the New Year, if you decide that face to face or online video counselling could help you then feel free to reach out to me as I am taking bookings for January. Take care, Angela

Has your child/YP recently left for university or moved away from home? It’s normal to feel a mix of emotions—pride and excitement for their future, but also sadness, loneliness, and uncertainty for your present life. You've supported them through school and helped them gain independence, yet now that they’re gone, you might feel empty or even question your purpose a little. This transition can be challenging, but remember, it's just that—a transition. Take time to reconnect with yourself and discover what this new phase holds for you.

Whether you feel loss or relief, it’s okay to seek some support to discuss how you are feeling and potentially embrace the opportunities for growth and change…. until they (and their laundry) return home on their next term break. If you would like to arrange some in-person or online video counselling with me then please do send a message via WhatsApp to 07841 954337 or email me@angelawratten.com

Are you procrastinating on an important decision? Your friends and family may have already given you their opinions but have you given yourself the space and time to consider the full range of scenarios, options and/or risks ahead? The pros and cons? What is it that 'you' really want or need to do? How much weight are you giving to the consideration of the needs or wants of others? What are the potential consequences of your decision?

Hi, I'm Angela - your local counsellor. If you would like to talk through a big, or a small, decision then I would be happy to listen. I will give you the support and space to explore what it is that ‘you’ really want, what is causing you to hesitate to find a way forward so that you can move forwards. Contact me if you are interested in arranging either in-person or online video counselling with me.

We all know how important it is to take care of ourselves. But sometimes, it's hard to find the time or energy to do so.

Not only will ‘me time’ help you relax and de-stress, but it also allows us to regenerate so that we can continue caring in the best way for ourselves and our loved ones.

Self-care is not selfish. It is necessary.

Hi. I'm Angela, an online video counsellor. I thought I'd share some info about what to expect with online video counselling in case someone finds it helpful 😊.

Online video counselling with me can give you the opportunity to access counselling support at a time and in a place, which is convenient to you and with someone that wants to understand your situation and connect with your needs.

Whether you are a tech wizard or technophobe, once you have started online video counselling, I'm confident that you will appreciate the convenience and comfort of being in my " online counselling room" and forget any technological concerns.

As long as you have access to WiFi or mobile data, you can join your session from anywhere. It is important that you choose somewhere that you feel safe, have privacy and won't be overheard. I've worked with clients who have connected with me from their car, from their lounge, from a meeting room at work and even from their beach hut! As long as you are based in the UK then we can work together.

As long as your device - laptop, tablet or mobile phone - is charged and has a camera and audio then all you will need to do is to click on the link and follow the instructions that are provided in your booking confirmation email. It's simple.

Some clients prefer to wear headphones while others don't; as long as we can see and hear each other clearly then it's really down to personal preference.

If you are based in Thanet or East Kent and would prefer to meet for counselling face to face then I also have a counselling room available in Birchington CT7.

If you've read this far then I hope you have found it helpful but if you have any other questions about what to expect or would like to arrange a free consultation call to arrange counselling then feel free to message me on WhatsApp on 07841 954337 or email me@angelawratten.com.
