Vivienne Pettman

I currently have availability

Wednesday 8-5 

Friday 8-5

 either face to face or Via Zoom.

 I do have some evening appointments available which we can discuss via our initial phone call .  

I am trained in person centred therapy which is at the heart of my practice but use a integrative approach. This means I draw from other approaches to best support my clients as I do not believe there is a one size fits all type of therapy , I adapt my approach to each client to ensure they are receiving the best of care for their individual needs .

The relationship between a counsellor and client is extremely important and is at the heart of the client being able to engage in therapy thus feeling safe and eventually able to make the changes necessary in which to achieve a happier fulfilled life .   

I have a small office in Herne Bay that is nature based , it is a calm safe space filled with plants to bring the soothing nature of them to the room , I have found this to really help my clients to feel relaxed when we are engaged in our sessions . 

I practice Meditation and Breathwork , Mindfulness based CBT therapy and Mindfulness based stress reduction  with my clients who require tools to manage stress , pain management and addictions .

I also work with trainee counsellors who require their personal counselling hours .

I offer via a colleague young person counselling 13 years plus . 

I offer a free  phone call to establish what the client would like from therapy  then if client is happy to continue  I will book an assessment  session which the client pays for at the normal rate .
