Having overcome many traumas and upsetting life incidents from an early age in life to adulthood and from my job, I have always believed myself to be a strong, resilient and a logical person, picking myself up after each fall and just getting on with it. That’s what us guys do. Or so I thought…
When I first went to Anna I felt really anxious. I was worrying for some time about the Kent test /grammar test. Not believing in myself and worrying in the test that I would have a panic attack. (That was my biggest fear! )
I was fortunate enough to be referred to Beth West through Mid-Kent Mind in May 2020. She introduced me to the concepts of REBT. I was sceptical at first having never heard of it. Beth took a great deal of time and care, explaining and steering me…
I went to Anna when I was feeling extremely overwhelmed with life and struggling to deal with past experiences and traumatic situations. Anna is extremely professional yet kind, caring, compassionate and…
Beth never promised a “cure” and taught me that the only way to get better is to continually work on recognising irrational beliefs, disputing them and changing “musts”, transforming negative emotions into more positive ones. It’s…
I was lost but now I’m found … is the only way I can describe my experience of working with Beth. I found her manner calming and professional and she taught me the tools to manage my anxiety.

Beth brought intelligence, creativity, pragmatism and perspective to our valuable and insightful sessions. She also provided a range of useful tools and methods…
I would just like to say thank you very much Anna but thank you does not seem enough. I was in a very bad place and if it wasn't for you, your kindness, support and guidance, I would not be where I am now. You made me realise…
We sought help for our daughter around anxiety with the Kent test. She had over the years had ‘peaks’ where she would worry. We had supported her throughout, but felt after Covid and with the Kent test, she needed extra support that as a parent I could not give. Anna has truly been amazing. Working with her on a one to one basis where she felt heard and understood…
I was recommended Beth through a colleague of mine who couldn’t praise the help she had provided her, enough. I was new to REBT and at first I found it quite challenging but with Beth’s skilful guidance and incredible patience and…
When I started this journey I wasn't sure what to expect or whether it was for me. These fears were put to rest immediately through the assurance of Beth and her understanding of the way I think. It was like someone had been in my head for a day. As we progressed…
