Mid Kent Mind provide a Low Cost Counselling service which is available to people aged 18+ who are registered with a GP. It can be accessed via self-referral.



Our service aims to give you a safe time and place to talk to someone who won’t judge you, help you make sense of things and understand yourself better, help you resolve complicated feelings, or find ways to live with them and help you recognise unhelpful patterns in the way you think or act, and find ways to change them (if you want to).



A large number of our Counsellors are trainees that are BACP registered and are undertaking a BACP recognised counselling qualification. As part of their training they have all been assessed and have proved capable of practice within a counselling service. With ongoing training and supervision, the trainee counsellors must usually practice 100 hours of counselling in order to become qualified. It is within these hours that your counselling sessions will take place if you are counselled by a trainee counsellor.



Because the majority of our counsellors are trainees we are able to offer this affordable `Low Cost’ Counselling service to people with lower level mental health problems such as mild to moderate depression or anxiety.
