ALB Counselling
Integrative Counselling MBACP (Accred)
Welcome to ALB Counselling based in Faversham, Kent. 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 tend to be climbing a career ladder such as earning a PHD, accolade 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.
- Become connected to those you love and more motivated to live the life you want.
- 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.
