Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Maidstone
Hello, my name is Amanda Drury and I’m a highly experienced Counsellor and CBT therapist. I offer both face to face and online sessions at CBT and Counselling Kent’s Maidstone practice.
I have Masters degree in ‘Social Psychology’ a Bachelor’s degree in ‘Counselling & Psychotherapy’ and a level 5 certification in Counselling. I’m also accredited by the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
When we first meet
Starting therapy can be daunting for anyone, whether you’ve had prior experience of counselling or not. Our first meeting is about getting to know each other and building a rapport. I will take time to understanding your unique needs and expectations. Together, we will establish a relationship based on openness, trust and respect. There’s no rush, we will work at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The way I work
Prior to me training to become a psychotherapist, my background was in Neurology. This greatly influenced my approach to working with clients. today. I believe it’s essential to comprehend not just what you think or feel but also how these processes occur. By understanding the “how,” we can employ proven strategies for lasting change and a more fulfilling life. Therapy is not a ‘one size fits all’ process and while I primarily focus on CBT, I recognise the importance of integrating methods from other therapies to support your journey.
Common reasons people seek therapy
Over the course of my 13-year career, I’ve encountered diverse challenges, and no two problems are ever the same. My expertise encompasses working with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, OCD, addiction and more. I firmly believe that each problem is unique to the individual and as a result, the solutions are tailored accordingly. My specialisation lies in trauma, as it touches everyone’s life in some form or another. Addressing the root of trauma and reprocessing it through CBT is highly effective for anxiety and depression stemming from traumatic experiences.
Ethical Standards
As an accredited member of BACP, I uphold their ethical standards in my practice. I prioritise the well-being of my clients and engage in bi-weekly clinical supervision while also maintaining professional indemnity insurance. Your trust and welfare are of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to providing ethical and responsible therapy services.
