More From Tim
My name is Dr Tim Burns MSc Psych, and I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) offering Counselling and Psychotherapy to clients in Whitstable and the surrounding areas.
I have worked within adult mental health for over 19 years, with much of my experience gained in primary care mental health services. This background has given me a deep understanding of the wide range of emotional and psychological challenges people face.
I am trained in Integrative Psychotherapy, which means I do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I tailor therapy to your individual needs by drawing on different therapeutic models, depending on what will work best for you. I also specialise in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an evidence-based approach commonly used to treat mood disorders, with a focus on improving relationships and resolving life events that may be contributing to emotional difficulties.
In addition, my MSc-level qualification in Psychology gives me a strong theoretical foundation and adds deeper psychological insight to my therapeutic work.
How I Can Help
I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment where you feel comfortable to explore your difficulties. My approach is compassionate, and I will work with you to make sense of the challenges you are facing, whether related to past experiences, current situations, or specific events.
I am experienced in helping people process complex or traumatic experiences, both from childhood and adulthood. I also work with a wide range of emotional concerns, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Relationship difficulties
- Loss and bereavement
We will work together to identify your goals and tailor the therapy to suit your specific needs. My training allows me to draw on both attachment theory and communication theory to help you understand how your difficulties may have developed. From there, we will focus on processing past experiences, improving emotional resilience, and developing practical strategies to manage any ongoing symptoms.
Ethical Standards
I work within the ethical codes of both the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I regularly engage in clinical supervision and professional development and hold full professional indemnity insurance.
