Who We Are

Self Horizons is a well-established counselling and therapy service dedicated to supporting emotional wellbeing and mental health throughout Hythe, Folkestone and the wider Kent community.

Our team consists of qualified and experienced therapists who are committed to providing professional, ethical and compassionate support.

We understand that seeking counselling can feel like a significant step. Our aim is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel respected, heard and understood.

Every individual who comes to Self Horizons brings their own experiences, challenges and goals. We believe therapy should reflect this individuality rather than follow a one-size-fits-all model.

Our Therapeutic Philosophy

At Self Horizons, our work is grounded in a humanistic and integrative approach to therapy.

Humanistic therapy recognises that every person has the potential for growth, healing and positive change when provided with the right conditions and support.

We believe that each person is the expert on their own life. Our role as therapists is not to tell you what to do, but to work collaboratively with you as you develop greater understanding, self-awareness and confidence.

An integrative approach means that we draw upon a range of therapeutic models and techniques, tailoring our work to meet your individual needs and circumstances.

This flexibility allows us to provide therapy that feels relevant, personalised and effective.

Our Services

Self Horizons offers a range of therapeutic services designed to meet the needs of individuals and couples at different stages of life.

Our goal is to provide accessible therapeutic support that responds to the diverse needs of the communities we serve.

What To Expect From Counselling

Beginning counselling can feel unfamiliar, particularly if it is your first experience of therapy.

Your initial session provides an opportunity to discuss your current concerns, explore your goals and consider the most appropriate way forward.

We will work together to develop an understanding of your needs and identify how therapy may help.

Sessions are confidential, supportive and non-judgemental, allowing you to explore thoughts, emotions and experiences at your own pace.

Most counselling sessions last approximately 50 minutes and are typically scheduled weekly, although arrangements can be tailored where appropriate.

Face-to-Face and Online Therapy

We understand that flexibility is important.

In addition to face-to-face counselling in Hythe, we also provide online counselling and remote therapy via Zoom and Microsoft Teams.

Online therapy allows clients to access professional support from home, making counselling more accessible for those with busy schedules, mobility difficulties or who live outside the local area.

Professional Standards and Ethics

Professional integrity, confidentiality and client wellbeing are central to everything we do.

Our therapists are committed to maintaining high professional standards and undertaking ongoing professional development to ensure that clients receive safe, ethical and effective support.

We are committed to creating a therapeutic environment that is respectful, inclusive and supportive for all individuals regardless of background or circumstance.
