Safe Space Counselling

Looking for someone to listen?

Hello! My name is Naomi O'Connor.

I'm a UK qualified psychotherapist. I offer counselling to adults in the UK and EU countries. I understand that it's not the easiest step to embark on a counselling journey, so thank you very much for clicking on my page.

Counselling can help you make sense of your past, re-assess your present and think about the direction you would like your future to be. As a therapist, I am able to provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space, to help you build a kinder relationship with yourself and in turn, be able to make sense of your concerns, facilitate your own insight, and explore solutions in a way which has meaning for you.

I provide a service that is uniquely tailored to you and your difficulties, no matter how big they may seem. My aim is to support you to explore challenges, painful situations, negative thoughts/behaviours and more, which may be preventing you from living your life to the fullest.

My specialism:

Working with recovery from abuse, trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety & depression, overthinking, low self-esteem, and emotional distress.

I also have extensive experience of working with bereavement and simply feeling stuck in life.

My approach:

I am aware that each person is unique so I work in an integrative and relational way where I am able to take from a variety of various counselling approaches and techniques to best fit your needs. These include person centred, attachment, CBT, and the psychodynamic approach.

I always work at the pace of my clients - ensuring that you feel safe to open up and to never push or pressure you, but instead to make you feel comfortable, safe and heard.

What To Expect

When speaking with me, I will offer a non-judgmental and confidential space for you to be able to explore your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviours so that you can develop a better understanding of yourself and others.

I offer a free 15-20 minute confidential consultation so that we can have an informal chat where you can ask any questions that you might have about how I work, and for me to understand why you are seeking counselling at this point in time.

You will have the option of doing short or long term sessions depending on your financial situation, and depending on what you aim to get out of counselling.

*I currently only offer a few face to face sessions in Tunbridge Wells, otherwise I do offer online video or phone call sessions which my clients and I have found to be as productive over many years.*

I offer short or long-term therapy depending on what you would like to work on, and depending on your financial situation. Each session takes place at the same agreed day and time each week, and sessions are 50 minutes long.

I am currently offering online sessions or telephone counselling.

Session Fees

Sessions are £55 per hour. Concessionary rates are available.
