Jon Sutton

Director

Integrative Counsellor

EMDR Therapist 

I’m an accredited counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, an EMDR (Europe) therapist, and an IMRs therapist specialising in childhood trauma (Imagery Re-scripting). I have over 30 years of experience helping young people (ages 13–17) and adults, particularly those working in or affected by emergency services and first-response exposure to traumatic and distressing incidents.

This background gives me a unique empathy and understanding of what it's like to suffer in silence—whether as an adult or from unresolved experiences carried forward from childhood.

I believe our present struggles are often shaped by unprocessed distressing or traumatic events from the past. These may quietly manifest as lack of confidence, panic attacks, chronic anxiety, sleep difficulties, emotional numbness, eating disorders, low libido, or coping mechanisms such as OCD, addiction, phobias, and intrusive thoughts.

I am trained integratively, which means I draw from a variety of modalities to create a therapy approach that works best for you.

I offer a personalised health and wellbeing programme alongside therapy, designed to help you manage stress, anxiety, and depression while also addressing the root causes.

Having been diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, I understand how isolating neurodiversity can be. This lived experience enables me to support clients facing a range of neurodiverse challenges with empathy and clarity.

Clients often describe me as calm and unphased, providing a relaxed and safe space. I adapt to your needs—whether you require space to talk or prefer a more direct, goal-oriented approach.

I offer in-person counselling at my private practice in Canterbury and virtual sessions via Zoom, with evening and weekend availability. Sessions are priced at £70.
