Psychotherapy and counselling
I am extremely passionate about the work I do and I believe in the life-changing difference that psychotherapy and counselling can make to peoples’ lives. Not only have I seen my clients change and find new meaning in their lives, but I have also experienced both the hard work and the reward of being a client in psychotherapy myself. My working hours are flexible Monday – Friday. I see clients during the day or in the evening if you need to arrange appointments around work or childcare. Alternatively, I offer online sessions via V-See (an alternative to Skype) if you are unable to travel to Tunbridge Wells. Individual sessions last 50 minutes and information regarding payment and other practicalities can be found on the Fees page at www.michellebowman.co.uk Sometimes taking the first step to talk to someone can be very daunting. Choosing the right person to work with is therefore an extremely important part of the process. I am not here to judge you or to give you advice. Rather, I am here to work with you, using my knowledge and training to support you emotionally in gaining personal insight and self-awareness. In this way, you can break away from unhelpful ways of thinking about yourself and others, and discover new ways of being in the world. Change itself can be an incredibly challenging and uncomfortable process, as well as an empowering and exhilarating one. I therefore place great emphasis on creating a holding space in which you can work in a way that is safe, therapeutic and beneficial for you.
