Biblical Counselling with Caroline Kent

Apply to Join the Counselling Waiting List

Demand for counselling is currently very high. A short application helps me establish, before adding someone to the active waiting list, whether my Biblical counselling approach, working hours and type of service are likely to be suitable.

Completing this form is an application rather than a guarantee that counselling will be offered. If another source of help appears more appropriate, I may suggest that instead.

Before you apply

Please check that these arrangements are suitable

Biblical counselling

I offer Biblical counselling from a Christian and Reformed Baptist understanding of Scripture. Counselling is shaped by the Bible, prayer, Christian doctrine, pastoral wisdom, careful listening and practical application to daily life.

This is not a religiously neutral counselling service. You remain free to ask questions or express disagreement, but the counselling itself is offered within this Biblical framework.

Working hours

Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 12 noon and 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm.

I do not offer appointments between 12 noon and 2.00 pm, after 6.00 pm, or at weekends.

Sessions normally last up to 50 minutes.

Online and telephone

Sessions are normally provided online or by telephone, using Zoom, WhatsApp video, WhatsApp call or telephone.

Sessions may be weekly, fortnightly, monthly or occasional, according to need and availability.

Fees

Current counselling fees

First assessment session

£30

Subsequent individual sessions

£40

Couples sessions

£50

A concessionary rate may sometimes be available according to need and by prior agreement.

Important

This is not an emergency or crisis service

I do not provide 24-hour support, crisis monitoring, emergency response or out-of-hours care, and messages may not be read immediately.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger or at serious risk of harm: call 999, attend A&E, contact your GP urgently, or use NHS 111 mental health support. Please do not wait for a counselling or waiting-list response.

Step one

Please confirm the essentials

I understand that Caroline offers explicitly Biblical counselling from a Christian and Reformed Baptist understanding of Scripture, and I am willing to receive counselling within this framework. I understand that appointments are offered Monday to Friday from 9.00 am to 12 noon and from 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm, with no appointments between 12 noon and 2.00 pm, after 6.00 pm, or at weekends. I have read the current fees above and believe that counselling on this basis would be practically possible for me if a place becomes available. I understand that this is not an emergency or crisis service and that Caroline may not be able to respond immediately. I understand that applying does not guarantee that counselling will be offered, and that Caroline may suggest another source of support if her service does not appear appropriate for my needs.

Step three

Practical availability

This is important because appointments outside my working hours are not available. I am not available between 12 noon and 2.00 pm.

Which times could usually work for you?

9.00 am to 12 noon 2.00 pm to 6.00 pm

12 noon to 2.00 pm is not available.

Can you normally attend during the working hours shown above? * If you select “No”, I may be unable to offer a counselling place.

How often would you realistically be able to attend?

Step four

Current support and urgency

Are you currently receiving professional or pastoral support for this difficulty?

Is there anything about your present circumstances that means you may need urgent help rather than being able to wait for counselling? *

Please seek immediate appropriate help rather than waiting for me to respond.
If there is immediate danger or serious risk, call 999, attend A&E, contact your GP urgently, or use NHS 111 mental health support. You may still submit this application if you wish, but the form is not monitored continuously and does not provide urgent support.

After acceptance

While you are waiting

If I confirm that you have been added to the active counselling waiting list, you are welcome to complete the Waiting List Support Questionnaire. It allows you to tell me more about the difficulties you are facing and may help me to suggest suitable Biblical resources or interim guidance while you wait.

Complete the support questionnaire

Please wait until your active waiting-list place has been confirmed before completing the support questionnaire.
