About us

THE PRACTITIONERS AT CANNONGATE COUNSELLING

Penny Graham MBACP and Jonathan Freilich MBACP hold a diploma in individual counselling as well as in couple counselling. Together we have been in professional practice for 25 years and have worked in several organisations such as Kent County Council, Kent Police etc. We maintain a private practice in Hythe Kent and have worked for several organisations such as Kent County Council, Kent Police, NHS, Borough of Enfield etc.

Both adhere to a common fundamental philosophy that most of us have the potential to find solutions to life's difficulties. We may need a little help from time to time.

OUR APPROACH

Penny and Jonathan work in what is called an integrative approach that combines several ideas:

• everyone is in a state of change and development
• most people live their lives in a framework of relationships
• everyone has a past and what we do in the present has been shaped by what has occured previously
• the success of any therapeutic work is dependent on a safe, confidential and respectful setting

These ideas shape what we do, how we do it, and inform us about the difficulties that clients bring.

In addition Penny and Jonathan have completed a diploma in Couple Counselling with the Centre for Gender Psychology. We work separately or together depending on what is best for the couple.
