“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hello! I’m Charanjit and I have worked in the local community in Medway since 2002. I qualified as a Person Centred Counsellor in 2009. I work with children, adolescents and adults employing a range of creative strategies such as art, writing, sandplay and play therapy.

Further training and professional development led me to a qualify as a Transpersonal Psychotherapist. I foster an integrative approach in my work as I draw from a range of theoretical approaches. As a transpersonal therapist I aim to facilitate the client’s discovery of themselves – their true essence. This stems from my belief that we can only live a fulfilled life if we are able to be our ‘real self’. My work involves identifying and challenging the barriers in this process as clients work towards healthy ego development and personal fulfilment.

I have extensive experience of counselling work with adults, children and adolescents in schools, fostering agencies, pupil referral units, IAPT/NHS services and privately.

I am an experienced group facilitator having facilitated parenting, self-esteem, social skills and relationships groups.

I am currently working in private practice, with Employee Assistance Programmes, Fostering Agencies, schools and Health Insurance Providers. I also see private clients at our practice in Rochester in Kent.  I work both face to face and online.

I am a Recognised Provider for Bupa, Axa, Aviva, Vitality and WPA.
