Profile
Hello and welcome. My name is Paula and I am aware through my own personal experience of finding a counsellor during my training, how difficult it can be to find someone that you can feel comfortable with.
I am a fully qualified, caring and experienced counsellor. I have several years of counselling experience and am currently working in a GP practice. I am trained to work using different approaches which enables me to look at the past in peoples life's, the present and indeed exploring a preferred future that includes changes that have been explored and hopefully made during the counselling. I feel working this way helps me be able to offer a more flexible counselling service. Some individuals want to focus solely on their past. Some only the present and others are concerned about what the future may bring. I am able to work in all of these areas.
I offer short term and long term, face to face counselling in a safe and confidential enviroment in Orpington. I do appreciate just how difficult it can be to choose a counsellor to explore your difficulties and concerns with. My aim is to listen and support you through difficulties and concerns that you may be experiencing, remaining accepting, respectful and unjudgemental of you and your situation throughout your therapy.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I have recently expanded on my knowledge and understanding by studying and completing a BA Honours Degree in Counselling. I am a member of the BACP and hold my own indemnity insurance. I have gained a Higher National Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Certificate in person centred Counselling Skills. I also have experience in problem solution focused therapy. My experience also includes working short and long term with people experiencing issues including, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety and addictions. I have experience of working with individuals, couples, young people and facilitating groups. I have also gained recent training in confidence building.
