Private Counselling
In Ashford, Kent | Counselling With Grace
Welcome!
I'm Grace
I’m really glad you’ve found your way here today.
Sometimes it helps to have a space where you don’t have to hold everything together or figure things out on your own. Hopefully you can find that here.
I offer one-to-one counselling for adults, including support with anxiety & grief.
Whenever you feel ready, I'd be happy to hear from you.
Maybe this sounds familiar...
Anxiety
Your mind won't switch off. You find yourself worrying about what might happen, going over conversations again and again, or feeling constantly on edge. Perhaps anxiety is affecting your sleep, relationships or everyday life.
Low Self-Esteem
You often doubt yourself or feel like you're not good enough. Maybe you put other people's needs first, find it difficult to say no, or spend a lot of time worrying about what others think of you.
Grief
Something has changed, or someone is no longer in your life, and you're finding it difficult to find a way through it. Grief can come with sadness, anger, confusion, relief, or a sense that you're not quite yourself anymore.
Stuckness
You know something isn't working, but you keep finding yourself in the same patterns. Perhaps past experiences are still affecting you, or you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start making things different.
Whatever challenges you're facing, you're warmly welcome to reach out.
Counselling is a supportive space, just for you.
You can book individual sessions as you need them, or choose regular sessions.
Single Sessions
This is your time to unpack whatever’s been sitting heavy on your mind, without pressure.
Appointments are pay-as-you-go, meaning that you don't have to commit to traditional weekly counselling sessions.
Available in-person, online or by telephone.
Session Package
If you’d like to commit to weekly counselling sessions, you can choose this package to benefit from a discount.
You'll book and pay for a block of four sessions in advance. The appointments will be on a weekly basis, but they don't have to be the same day/time each week.
Available in-person, online or by telephone.
Concessions
At times, Counselling With Grace may be able to offer concessionary spaces.
These are available to:
- Individuals experiencing financial difficulty, where the standard fee may not be manageable.
- Student counsellors completing mandatory personal therapy, as a package of sessions.
Feeling Unsure? Book an Introductory Appointment
You're welcome to book an introductory appointment before starting counselling. There’s no pressure to commit to ongoing sessions if you change your mind.
This informal chat gives you a chance to:
-
Talk about what you want from counselling
-
Ask any questions you may have
-
Get a feel for whether counselling, and working together, feels right for you
Frequently Asked Questions
1
What's counselling like?
Counselling sessions can feel a little different for everyone. It's a confidential space where you can explore whatever's on your mind, even the things that feel too big, too small, or just too difficult to share with others.
2
How long do sessions last?
Appointments can take up to an hour, with a standard session lasting 50 minutes. There's no set number of sessions, so we can work together for as long as counselling feels helpful to you.
3
What happens if I need to cancel an appointment?
Single sessions are paid 48-hours before each appointment. If you need to cancel, please give as much notice as you can. Cancellations within 48-hours incur a fee in line with my cancellation policy.
Payment packages are non-refundable and unused appointments cannot be carried forward.
4
Can you help me?
I hope so! There's no set criteria and I'll consider your needs individually. If I feel another service would be better for you, I'll share details of other support available. It's important to me that you find the right support for you, even if that isn't at Counselling With Grace.
Please note: I cannot offer counselling for couples or to anyone under 17.

How can I get started?
Simply get in touch with your name, contact details and preferred times for an appointment. You can choose to book an introductory appointment first, or if you feel ready, you can go straight into counselling sessions.
