Eastgate (Kent) Ltd
About us
Eastgate Counselling Service is a community counselling service, based in Gravesend, Kent. We offer professional support for those struggling with emotional difficulties. We understand that it is not always easy to come and talk about difficult experiences, so we aim to provide a safe and confidential space where you can be supported by people who are trained to help you. All our counselling is provided by counsellors who hold professional qualifications and are registered with national accrediting bodies. All our counsellors are Christians and we are motivated by our faith to provide a professional, ethical service to the whole community, those of all faiths and none.
Training, qualifications & experience
All our counsellors are qualified to at least Level 4 diploma level and are registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). We have experience of working with individuals and couples. We have individual counsellors who specialise in working with those on the autistic spectrum and their families, bereavement and end of life counselling, work place trauma and stress, disordered eating, mindfulness and CBT.
