Jon Sutton

I’m a qualified counsellor, registered with the British Association of Counselling Practitioners with over 30 years experience working with young people (ages 16 yrs - 17yrs) and adults, which includes working with UK emergency services and as a volunteer for a local community counselling service. You may be struggling with anxiety and depression impacting on relationships and daily life, wanting to change negative thoughts or resolve trauma, build confidence and self-esteem and figure out your life direction. You may be worried for a daughter, son, partner or friend. If this sounds familiar then please get in contact. I provide a calm, safe space physically in Canterbury, Kent where you will be listened to, heard, understood and kept safe, allowing you to explore your feelings at your own pace. I also work with clients effectively on-line through Zoom currently both nationally and internationally.

I am also trained in mentoring and coaching enabling me to help you figure out  next steps and goals to help you achieve your potential.

 I was diagnosed with dyslexia late in life so feel I have a strong understanding of neurodiversity and how challenging many situations can be in life and the impact of not feeling acknowledged and considered. This experience  has enabled me to support many neuro-diverse clients in not feeling alone and to help develop effective strategies to achieve their potential.   

 I am an experienced foster carer and have a good understanding of the challenges that foster care and adoption can evoke for both children and adults involved. I also volunteer for a community-based counselling charity alongside my  private practice

 My clients say that I am calm and approachable, providing the space and when appropriate humour, to help them achieve their counselling goals. That I am able to adapt my approach dependent on what you need; from listening through to helping  you gently challenge yourself.

 I provide ‘in-person’ counselling at my private practice in Canterbury and virtual counselling sessions via Zoom with availability including evenings and  weekends at a standard cost of £50 per session.

If you feel I am someone you might be able to work with you can contact me for an initial free session on 07498 839872 by text or call. Alternatively feel free to email me; jon@janeysuttoncounselling.co.uk or visit our website for more information; janeysuttoncounselling.co.uk. During this session you'll be able to tell me what you want from counselling and we can establish some objectives to work on. You'll be able to ask everything you need to feel comfortable and make a decision on us working together as choosing a counsellor who is right for you is so important. If you are happy to continue we'll arrange an appointment time for the second session. 

Free initial assessment to allow you the opportunity to assess whether you are comfortable with working with me and give you the chance to ask as many questions. This first session is advisable and available in-person, via telephone or on-line Zoom  

I provide ‘in-person’ , on-line and telephone counselling sessions. My counselling room is in the city centre and exceptionally quiet and discrete. Nearby parking is available.
