About me
Bonnie Wood Counselling
Counselling and Clinical Supervision.
Canterbury, Whitstable and Online.
Hi, thank you so much for looking at my profile. I am based in Canterbury and I offer counselling to individuals on a short or long term basis. I am happy to work face to face or provide online sessions. I am also offering clinical supervision to counselling professionals.
I am mainly humanistic in approach. I currently work for East Kent College as a team leader, coordinator and clinical supervisor and I have extensive experience and a passion for working with young people as well as adults of all ages and backgrounds.
I can offer a safe and non - judgemental place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and support you with any life changes you might wish to make. I will work at your pace and my main aim is to improve your happiness, self acceptance and overall wellbeing.
I have a passion for building self esteem and confidence. I can work with anyone who might need support with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, low mood, loss, relationship issues, bereavement or just those who need to talk and might feel a bit stuck in their life's journey. I can also help with panic attacks, trauma, sexual abuse, gender identity and dysphoria and any pregnancy related issues.
I understand it can be scary to take the step into counselling and you might be feeling anxious. I will do my best to offer a confidential place in which you can feel comfortable and relaxed and able to freely talk and explore your emotional responses and thoughts. I will listen and be with you every step of the way.
I offer long and short term sessions but I am always happy to be guided by you as to how long you would like to attend.
On the first session, I will complete a brief well-being assessment and have a chat with you to establish your goals for the sessions.
Please see below for my fees and concessions and please feel free to contact me for extra information or to arrange a session.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
