ALB Counselling
Integrative Counselling MBACP (Accred)
Welcome to ALB Counselling based in Faversham, Kent and online. My name is Anna Laslett-Borja, and I am a qualified and insured therapist primarily working with people who are vastly anxious or describe themselves as over-thinkers.
​
I welcome anyone who needs counselling, but I tend to attract people who are high achievers in work, or school. They are often shy, or introvert personalities. My clients are often climbing a career ladder or enduring a highly pressured working environment. They are typically at "the top of their game" but feeling uncomfortable on the inside.
They tend to feel crushed by pressure or perfectionism. They over-think the smallest interactions, struggle to set boundaries, or simply say how they feel when it's most important to them.
Often my clients experience a traumatic life event or loss that is the "last straw". This is when their anxiety takes over. Their qualitiy of life becomes deeply impacted and they need a helping hand from a qualified therapist. I am honoured to be that person.

Counselling That Embraces
All Versions Of "You"
​Have you had enough of feeling stressed, low or "not good enough"?
​
Do you want to speak your truth and not feel judged?
​
Are you longing to stop feeling lonely, and connect better with your friends and family?

I am here to help you.

Integrative therapy works with all parts of the individual, and incorporates self-love and kind practices.

I will help you to:

- Feel lighter, clearer in your thoughts, relieved and hopeful.

- Let yourself relax and turn down the noise of your internal critic.​​​

Gentle, Integrative Therapy
Friendly & Safe Space
-
You may feel totally overwhelmed and unsure where to turn with how you are feeling. It may feel really tough to "burden" others around you.
-
It can feel scary to be out of touch with yourself. You may be overwhelmed by jumbled thoughts and emotions. You may feel numb, spaced out. Or both.
-
​My therapy room is a safe and friendly space where you can say as much or as little as is comfortable.

Lose the fear of being judged. You may judge yourself harshly but I never will.
