People come to individual therapy for many reasons, like stress, anxiety, low mood, past trauma, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling stuck. Whatever brings you here, therapy offers a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences with a trained professional.
At ES Therapy Centre in Rainham, Medway, we recognise that there is no single approach that works for everyone. That is why individual therapy is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and preferences. Whether this is your first time seeking support or you are returning after a break, we take the time to understand what you are hoping for and work with you at your own pace.
Our approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic and relational approaches, and contemporary thinking around trauma, identity, and emotional development. This flexibility allows us to respond to your specific concerns and help you make meaningful, lasting changes.
Your therapy sessions are a space where you can speak openly and honestly, without fear of judgement. In the first few sessions, we will take time to understand what is bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it.
Some people come with a clear focus, while others need time to explore what is going on, and that is completely okay. You do not need to prepare. Therapy is not about having the right words, but about showing up as you are. Your therapist will listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and support you in making sense of your experiences at your own pace.
Sessions last 50 minutes and are held weekly. We see clients in person at our therapy rooms in Rainham, Gillingham. GreenShed Spaces is easily accessible from across Medway, including Chatham, Rochester, and Strood. Online sessions are also available via Google Meet for those who prefer to work from home or are based further afield in Kent or across the UK.


Therapy is not a quick fix, but it can be a powerful and lasting one. Our work together is based on trust, curiosity, and respect. As the therapeutic relationship develops, you may begin to notice patterns, gain new perspectives, or approach challenges with more clarity and confidence.
Depending on your needs, individual therapy may be shorter-term and focused on a particular issue, or more open-ended and exploratory. We will regularly check in on how things are going and adapt the approach as needed.
At ES Therapy Centre, therapy is not about advice-giving or being fixed. It is about helping you understand yourself more deeply, connect the dots, and move forward in a way that feels right for you. Whether you are in Gillingham, Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, or anywhere else in Kent, we are here to support you.

Psychotherapy can give people the opportunity to reflect, explore, and gain an understanding of their difficulties. It can open up conversations, bring clarity and help alleviate emotional distress. Through this process, clients can begin to form different perspectives, improve relationships and manage difficulties in a more balanced manner.
It depends entirely on yourself and the issues you bring to counselling. Some people come for just a few sessions and feel ready to stop, whilst others may feel they need longer. This is something we can talk about and agree on together.
We offer a safe, supportive and empathetic space where clients can explore issues without fear of judgement. Inclusivity is at the core of our practice. We recognise the unique difficulties faced by marginalised communities. Regardless of your age (18+), ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, or disability, you are warmly welcome here.
