Profile

I am a professionally qualified and accredited counsellor, experienced in working with a wide range of emotional issues and psychological concerns. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and supportive counselling and psychotherapy practice in Beckenham, which facilitates the development of self awareness, supports the exploration of possible solutions to problems and helps challenge negative patterns of thinking and behaviour.  I work with an integrative approach and am influenced by psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centred values, and solution focussed brief therapy (SFBT).   I work with individual adults, young people, children and couples.

I have been accredited by the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and I adhere to their code of ethics, which ensures that I offer my clients a high standard of professional care at all times.  I offer counselling and psychotherapy in Beckenham, Kent which is within reach of West Wickham, Hayes, Shortlands, Bromley, Addiscombe, Croydon and Crystal Palace

Life is always presenting us with change and challenge and sometimes it is difficult to adapt to what life throws at us. Sometimes, talking to friends and family can give the support needed in times of difficulty but, at other times, you may need the support of an experienced counsellor who is objective, non-judgemental and professionally trained to support you. Counselling can be useful in many areas and can provide support through times of confusion, change or trauma.

I believe that counselling can be the stepping stone to change and can help clients move forward. I work with adults, couples, teenagers, children, individuals and groups. Some of the areas I work with are addiction, anger,nbereavement and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, health related issues, obsessive behaviour, OCD, abuse, work related issues, dealing with traumatic experiences, personal development, loss of direction and adapting to change. As well as face-to-face work, I also offer adults telephone and online counselling, when appropriate.

I understand that finding a counsellor who feels right for you can be a daunting experience therefore I am happy to answer any questions you may have via email or telephone in order to assist you in this process. The first step is often the hardest and yet it can be the biggest step you take towards changing your situation.
