I attended counselling with Garry at Barham Court, Maidstone. I found Garry through Google and decided to contact him because i was severely depressed and didn't know who to turn to. I found talking to Garry very easy but at times I found it emotional. Garry used Grounding stones / semi-precious stones, Water jar and Cards during counselling. It made me feel comfortable and it gave me reassurance that I was being helped. I would recommend Garry to anyone looking for a professional, approachable and non-judgemental counsellor.

Thank you for your 5-star review Michael. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Reaching out for support when you're experiencing severe depression is often one of the hardest steps to take, and I'm grateful you trusted me to be part of your journey. I'm pleased you found it easy to talk during the sessions, even though some conversations were understandably emotional. Counselling often involves exploring difficult experiences, but doing so in a safe and supportive environment can help people better understand what they are going through.
I'm also pleased the therapeutic tools, including the grounding stones, water jar, and cards, helped you feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. Every person is different, so I aim to tailor sessions to the individual, using approaches that help make thoughts and emotions easier to explore and manage both during and between sessions.
Creating a calm, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where people feel heard and accepted is at the heart of how I work. I'm glad this helped you feel supported throughout your counselling.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for placing your trust in me. It has been a privilege to support you, and I wish you continued strength and wellbeing as you move forward.
