Juliet Ryan

Trauma Counsellor, Bereavement Specialist & Clinical Supervisor located in Bearsted, Maidstone, Kent & Nationwide (online).



Welcome. I am Juliet, a Trauma-informed Counsellor and Bereavement/Loss specialist, supporting adults through some of the most painful and life-altering experiences—grief, illness, relationship struggles, and the changes that can turn life upside down.

When something significant happens, it can feel as though everything shifts. You might find yourself lying awake at night, replaying things, feeling anxious, lost, numb, or overwhelmed. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words—just a sense that something isn’t right, or that you’re not quite yourself anymore. You don’t have to carry that alone.


I offer a quiet, compassionate, comfortable space where you can begin to talk things through, at your own pace, in your own way. I’ll listen carefully, without judgement, and seek to understand your experience as it is for you. Together, we can gently explore what’s been happening, how it’s affecting you and what you might need to help you find your way through.


Our work may also include making sense of how your past  (your relationships, experiences, losses) continue to shape how you feel now. When life has forced a change you didn’t choose, it can take time to adjust, to grieve what was, and to begin to contemplate what comes next.

I know how difficult it can be to reach out, or to feel that you’re worth the time and financial investment, but when you begin to feel more steady, understood and more connected to yourself, it often touches (and improves) every part of your life.


Please email me to arrange a free 15-minute call. We can have a gentle, informal chat about what is happening for you and whether working together feels right for us both.


Sessions are £55 for the standard 'Counselling Hour' of 50 minutes.


 Working together

Face to Face


Our sessions are held in a warm, inviting cabin located within the privacy of my own garden located near Bearsted, just outside of Maidstone. 



Telephone


Telephone counselling can be equally as effective as face to face. Providing you the opportunity to talk openly and explore your worries and concerns at a time and place that is best for you.

Walk Talk Outdoors


Outdoor counselling offers a sense of space and wellbeing as you experience the ever changing seasons and weather our environment has to offer. We will walk or sit as we talk and explore the challenges & worries you are facing.

Online


Online counselling has enabled therapy to be accessed by more clients than ever. From the comfort & privacy of your own home, we will work using Zoom in a safe, confidential manner.

I offer a free 15 minute introductory telephone call.


All counselling sessions are 50 minutes in duration.


Sessions (regardless of type) are £55 payable at least 48 hours in advance, otherwise cancellation fees apply.


Discounted sessions may be available. Please feel comfortable to ask me about this. 


A working agreement will be emailed to you in advance of our first session for you to read and gain a better understanding of how we will work together. 


I look forward to hearing from you. Please see contact details below.
