Nini Leaver MSc, Accredited MBACP Registered Psychotherapist

For some, the love and support offered by family and friends is enough to get them through difficult times. But for others, this may not be enough. A problem may persist over a long time, perhaps advice is given that is well meant but not wanted, sometimes it can feel like others just don't understand your inner experiences, or it may be too difficult to talk to people who are themselves affected. In those instances it may come as a relief for you to talk to a therapist who has no personal involvement, is able to offer a nuanced understanding of what you are going through and can help you to find a way through troubled times. And this support is offered in the safety of the therapeutic relationship (the unique relationship between the therapist and the client).

Areas covered: Canterbury; Herne Bay, Whitstable and surrounding areas.

Special Interests: Grief and Loss; Parenting (including issues around special needs children); Cancer; Infertility; Palliative care (those with life-limiting illness and their carers); Mental Health (treatments and diagnosis); Carers; Loneliness; Persistent depression.

Although I have specialist interests and have had extra training in these areas, my broad training and experience means that I am able to treat clients in my private practice with a wide range of presenting issues.

If therapy is of interest to you, on other pages I introduce myself, explain what therapy entails and provide information about my private practice.
