About Me

---

Kate Tong MBACP

I am a registered member of the British Association of Councillors and Psychotherapists (BACP).

I am an Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist. This relatively new approach views you as an individual. By focusing on you, rather than the counsellor being an expert of on yourself, it allows me to tailor my approach specifically to you. I work using a combination of different therapeutic approaches, I can help you explore your present-day problems without judgement and by looking at past event, you will gain understanding of your deep-rooted feelings and past traumas and there lasting effect on you in the present. This insight makes it possible to identify unhelpful thinking patterns or behaviours that, overtime have become automatic. Then learn new strategies to change or manage you feelings, behaviours and thinking.

  ”The curious paradox is that 

when I accept myself just as I am, 

then I can change.”  

Carl Rogers
