About TCH Counselling

My name is Gerri Creedon and my practice is based in West Malling and Gravesend, Kent.

The overall aim of counselling is to provide an opportunity for you to work towards living your life which is more satisfying for you. We are all unique and therefore the nature of counselling will differ from person to person. I work to an integrated model that incorporates many different techniques and strategies which I combine to suit your individual needs, your personality, cultural background and life experience.

My counselling experience includes Addictions where I worked for an agency which specialises in substance misuse, both in-patient and in the community, NHS Primary Care Trust, NHS Medical Practice, as well as Private Practice. I have worked with people experiencing many types of distress who wish to move forward with their lives.

In my experience, many people can find counselling to be ‘life-changing’, and it offers an opportunity to explore, discover and to be more accepting of ‘you’, consequently helping you to develop life skills for your future. I provide a confidential, friendly, accepting and safe environment, where you have time and space to share whatever is worrying you.

I also have had experience of Personal Therapy and can understand how it can help through difficult times.

All my work is supervised in accordance with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) guidelines. I attend regular clinical supervision, am fully insured and I am a member of the BACP and fully adhere to its code of ethics. I am committed to attending on-going training as part of my Professional Development which in turn benefits my clients.
