About me
My name is Mide (pronounced Mee-da). As an experienced BACP Accredited Counsellor, I offer weekly counselling to adults of all ages. I work in person in central Tunbridge Wells and by phone and on Zoom. I'm available on weekdays and some evenings. I'd be very happy to have an initial conversation by phone to talk about what I offer, hear about you and answer any questions.
Alongside my private practice I am a senior counsellor in a non-profit making counselling service working with men and women of all ages experiencing a wide variety of issues and concerns. I also provide counselling for trainees who are working towards a qualification in Counselling.
Before becoming a counsellor I worked in public and private sector corporate environments. I bring an understanding of the challenges that can arise at work and the pressures of trying to maintain a healthy balance between the demands of work and other responsibilities as part of a healthy and fulfilled life.
How can I support you?
There are times in our lives when things just don't feel right. You might be struggling to work out who you are and what you want or finding it hard to cope with life's challenges - feeling stressed, unfulfilled or lonely. Maybe you've been deeply affected by specific events and loss - perhaps the death of a loved one, relationship breakdown, redundancy or illness. Perhaps what you're experiencing is affecting your relationships and behaviour causing painful feelings including anger, sadness, vulnerability, guilt and shame, sometimes leaving you anxious and depressed. With my experience as a counsellor, I can work with you on these and other issues and concerns.
I am committed to providing my clients with the opportunity to talk about their experiences and feelings. If you decide to work with me, I will give you a safe, compassionate and confidential space to feel heard and understood.
As we work together, I will use my training, skills and experience to help you describe your thoughts and feelings. Respecting you and your experiences, I will encourage, challenge and support you to look at your personal difficulties from different angles. I will support you as you explore how your early experiences might be impacting life and relationships today. This will help you get a better understanding about your current situation.
I will work with you as you identify and implement changes that feel possible to make. I believe, and have seen in my practice, that this is the first and vital step to making long lasting positive change, helping to live a life that feels more fulfilled.

Training, qualifications & experience
Registered member of the BACP - 377811. MBACP (Accred).
Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (accredited by the BACP) 2019
Member organisations
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
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.

Additional information
If you are interested in starting counselling we will have one or more introductory meetings, at a mutually convenient time, to talk about the issues that have brought you here. Then you can decide if you feel comfortable working with me and I can assess whether I can be helpful to you. There is no obligation to proceed beyond this point.
If we agree to proceed, I offer open-ended counselling where we would meet for 50 minute sessions on the same day and time every week. I also offer time-limited counselling (6, 8 or 12 sessions) for people who wish to focus on and explore a specific issue.
My fee for introductory meetings and counselling sessions is £60.00.
