May is National Walking Month, which makes me think this is a great time to launch a new service: Walk & Talk therapy.

There's a ton of scientific evidence showing the benefits of spending time outdoors in nature – and throw in movement (always a feel-good win) plus talking therapy, and the pluses are multiple. I've written a blog about Walk & Talk therapy (7 Reasons Why Walk & Talk Therapy Is So Beneficial- link in comments, below) which explains more, but individual sessions will run Wednesday afternoons in Norman Park, Bromley from May 20. I currently have two slots remaining, so please get in touch at info@kaythomascounselling.com for more info.

🌳 Walk & Talk therapy - 1:1 sessions to ensure confidentiality
📍 Norman Park, Bromley
⏰ From midday
📅 Starting Wednesday 20 May

A handy tip for those living with high anxiety and/or panic attacks

19/04/2026

I'm very privileged to work with people living with a breast cancer diagnosis via my work with The Primrose Centre in Locksbottom, Orpington.
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for those undergoing treatment to also be experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause and the effects of this to show up in the counselling space, including exhaustion, rumination, anxiety and brain fog. It therefore feels important to spread the word about these free support sessions, bookable via the Centre.

Please feel free to share with anyone you know who might be living with breast cancer and struggling with symptoms of menopause - I'll certainly be signposting my clients to these events

A new blog and a bit of a personal one this week, with some professional insight because it's about a universal topic: grief.

Having sat with many clients as they come to terms with their loss (and it's not always much-loved people who have died: sometimes it's an abuser or someone they had a complicated relationship with) I've noted some common patterns of thinking, feeling and acting and created a list of what helps, and what doesn't when you're dealing with bereavement.

This blog also contains signposting to helplines, podcasts, drop-in bereavement events and other sources of suppport.

Please feel free to share with anyone who might benefit 🙏

Many of us have had enough of the incessant rain and gloom of winter this year - but is your low mood persistent and affecting your life and wellbeing? If so, there's a chance you might be living with Seasonal Affective Disorder - or SAD, for short.

I've written a blog about how to spot the signs and symptoms, and what you might do to help yourself if you think you might be suffering. Link in comments, below 👇

Always grateful to those who feel they want to leave a Google review. As a BACP registered member I work within their ethical framework, which has confidentiality at the heart of it. This means counselling isn’t the most obvious sector for garnering reviews - but I’m always truly touched when people take the time to leave one🙏🏻

Some of my clients have switched to fortnightly sessions so I have some availability coming up.

Please get in touch if you're interested to see how therapy could help you
