I am an integrative psychotherapist with five years of experience, dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their emotions and challenges. I am an integrative psychotherapist, currently registered member with the British Counselling of Psychotherapy. As an integrative psychotherapist, I blend various therapeutic approaches to tailor my practice to each of your needs. I draw from techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), where I address negative though patterns and behaviours such as anxiety, to psychodynamic therapy, where we explore unconscious processes and past experiences. I also use humanistic methods, where we will emphasize on personal growth and self-fulfilment, to Transactional analysis where I examine social transactions and communications patterns to understand and improve interactions. My goal is to provide a safe trusting and non – judgmental environment, holistic, client-centred experience that supports your emotional well-being and personal growth, facilitating positive change, by working towards your goals, and improving coping strategies. Through a combination of these methods, I help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, aiming to foster healing, insight, and resilience. I have previously work with BCU Life Skills which offers counselling to men and women who are unemployment and have low-income who live in the Borough of Bexley bringing complex issues due such as stress, suicidal thoughts, depression, bereavement, low-self-esteem, trauma, chronic illnesses and disability. I have also worked as a teaching assistant in a special needs school as it has provided me with invaluable experience that directly links to the skills and insights required in counselling. Supporting students with special needs required me to practice active listening, clear communication, and the ability to respond to non-verbal cues. These skills are essential in counselling, where being attuned to a person’s emotions and behaviours is crucial for providing effective support. In my work with young people, I like to support adolescents, as this is a critical phase of their development. Teenagers often brings issues such as social and and psychological challenges, such as identity formation, peer pressure, academic stress, and family dynamics. I am a registered member of the BACP, and I hold an Advance Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling from CPPD Counselling School. I also hold a Certificate in Humanistic and Psychodynamic Counselling from Goldsmiths University. I have also completed my BSc in Psychology at University of Westminster, and I have completed short courses in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Time Limiting Counselling.

I am experienced in successfully supporting clients with anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma (including emotional, physical and sexual abuse), relationship issues and low self-esteem. I completed the work placement part of my training at Mid Kent Mind where I supported people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues and low self-esteem. I have continued working with these issues in the years after qualifying and have also developed an interest in trauma related work in which I have completed further training and gained considerable experience. I offer a friendly approach where whatever you bring to sessions will be accepted without judgment and with understanding. We are all individuals - with our own personalities, personal history and life experience and for this reason I select from a range of therapeutic approaches so suit your particular needs and goals. You won't be expected to talk about anything you find difficult until you feel ready - you get to move at your own pace. Although talking is an important part of the process, I will also help you to find practical therapeutic tools to support whatever change and personal growth you want to achieve within yourself and your life.

I accompany my clients in their sadness, chaos, depression, and confusion, and I help people to give a voice to their true feelings in a non-judgmental space. About Me: I am an accredited counsellor with over 5 years of experience supporting a diverse range of clients of all ages, with issues that include (but not limited to), anxiety, depression, panic disorder, bereavement (including bereavement by suicide), identity issues, low self-esteem, guilt, shame, self-harm, and PTSD / CPTSD. Even though I have a lot of experience with many issues over the years, trauma and bereavement have been my particular areas of focus. My primary way of working is person-centred / trauma – informed, though I have a variety of tools from different modalities that I use depending on your needs. Trauma counselling: My primary research as part of my MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy, investigated how creative interventions aid change when working with childhood trauma. When we are exposed to trauma at a young age for an extended time, overwhelming emotions have become the default way of being, and you may find that any survival strategies that helped you to survive a hostile situation back then, have ceased to serve you in the long-term. I work in a trauma-informed way which involves helping you to feel safe and resourced while we process what happened to you. I provide a safe and empathic base where you can explore your experiences Bereavement counselling: I have a diploma in Grief and Bereavement, and 2.5 years of experience working as a bereavement practitioner, helping clients to explore and process their loss. This can often mean processing other associated losses which reinforce the depth of their grief. I have been able to help my clients adjust to their loss in a way that honours the unique relationship that they have with their loved one.

MBACP Integrative counsellor, trauma specialist, holistic and spiritual therapist. Hi I'm Stephanie, a multidimensional therapist offering a variety of therapies to suit the individual needs of my clients. I am a qualified integrative counsellor with specialist training in trauma, amongst other areas of life events and complexities. I have worked in the health and social care sector for over 15 years and have experience with complex needs in children and adults. Using my skills, intuition, knowledge and above all else empathy, my passion is to support clients to find their way out of the 'Labyrinth' and live a more fulfilled life. I have a particular interest in creativity, journalling, spirituality, sound, vibration and frequency, but most importantly supporting people to become the best version of themselves. As well as being an empathic counsellor, I am also an artist, musician, Reiki healer and spiritual worker. Counselling offers a safe and confidential space to explore past and present experiences, challenges, thoughts and feelings that may be causing obstacles in your life at present. Counselling helps you to identify and realign yourself with who you truly are and live the life your soul truly longs for. Counselling can help you find your inner voice, stop people pleasing and trust the direction of your path with confidence and peace. Here are some of the areas that I can support you with. If the issue you are currently struggling with is not listed please don't hesitate to enquire further. *Anxiety and Fear *Depression *Trauma *Lack of meaning/purpose *Spiritual growth/ascendence *Pet Bereavement *Rape and Sexual Abuse *Domestic Violence *Lonliness *Family and Relationship issues *Frustration *Loss and Grief The first session is a great opportunity to meet and greet one another, whether this be online or by telephone. We will explore how counselling may help and if counselling is suitable for you at this time. It is important to find the right counsellor for you so you can really get the most from your sessions. I offer a free 15 minute consultation, where we can discuss how I may be able to help you and you can decide if you would like to continue with counselling. Many clients bring crafting activities such as crochet etc to their online and telephone counselling sessions which is welcomed. I have personally learnt how life changing it can be to become more heart centred and present in YOUR own life, rather than be driven by the mind, ego and negative beliefs and/or patterns, which often causes hurt, confusion and unwanted behaviours in our lives. I realised that living with the constant feeling of stress, fatigue and burn out, life was simply not working out for me anymore and therefore I decided to change that. Now my role is to help you do the same, it is achievable. Any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.

By being on this website, you have taken the first step in accessing support, which is often the hardest. If you find yourself struggling with overwhelm, overthinking, and difficult emotions; then you are in the right place. None of us were born with a manual on how to navigate this life & sometimes when things get difficult, our mind can give us a hard time. Therapy can help you understand your difficulties and involves us working together as a team to work towards your goals. As a therapist, I can provide a space to reflect together on your difficulties and provide evidence-based techniques on how to manage them moving forward. I work holistically and adapt my approach based on the client I have in front of me. When experiencing a number of difficult life experiences a few years ago, I found myself in a pit of anxiety and accessed CBT which helped me get through. I can appreciate how scary it might feel to reach out for support from a complete stranger. If you would like to see if we will be a good fit to work together, email me to arrange a free 20 minute consultation!

Life can be overwhelming, even exhausting at times, but I’m here to offer a supportive ear and guide you towards finding your own solutions. My aim is to help you gain a deeper self-understanding Hi :) I'm Polly. I believe that being light hearted as well as understanding and being able to empathise when needed is important to allow us to build a solid therapeutic relationship so we can work together to try and help you with any issues you might be experiencing. I am passionate about listening to people and facilitating them feeling heard and not dismissed or judged. Sometimes all someone needs is to be heard and listened to in a supportive environment where you can truly say how you feel. However, sometimes that's just the first step and if you need more and want to understand yourself more deeply I can also help with that. I think that the way significant adults interacted with us as children can shape our worldview, often without us even noticing it. I would like to work with you to find and explore the connection between your childhood experiences and your current life. By understanding why we have reacted in a certain way we can become more aware of when we are doing it and then decide if its something we want to change or we are ok with.

As a compassionate and warm integrative counsellor, I work therapeutically and collaboratively to help you live a more fulfilling life. My approach supports you in embracing a more authentic you. Hello, my name is Nese Djouma, and a warm welcome to you. I believe it takes courage and strength to reach out for support in finding a therapist and it can be a daunting process. I am a professional qualified integrative counsellor, offering you a confidential space to talk about issues concerning you. They can be attributed to a particular life event, either past or present, such as loss, grief, or any other reason, resulting in distress, and in turn, depression/anxiety and feeling sad. These feelings can be overwhelmingly intense, often leaving a person feeling isolated, confused, or stuck. I will, Godwilling, be there to support you on the journey, as a secure base, short-term or long-term, helping improve your mental health, including, confidence and self-esteem to live a more fulfilling life. My focus in therapy is to facilitate an accepting environment where you can open up without feeling judged. I appreciate each person is unique, thus taking into consideration their whole being, which is the central principle of my work. I believe one glove size does not fit all, and I will utilise techniques and key concepts, drawn from different approaches, including psychodynamic and person-centred, that best suit your needs. I will do my upmost to create a warm, empathic, nurturing, and non-judgmental space. I believe our therapeutic relationship, as client and therapist, is essential in making change possible.

As a person-centred therapist, I offer a caring, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe to explore what is troubling you. Together, we will find ways to heal and move forward as your true self It can be very daunting to reach out to someone for help and I am happy that you have found the courage to do so. When you get to a point where you no longer feel able to to cope with life or a situation, you can feel stuck, overwhelmed and lost. It can be difficult to reach out to family and friends and life starts to seem very lonely. I have been in this position myself and counselling provided me with the space to be heard, understood and accepted without me feeling like a burden. This changed my life and created a passion within me to help others in the same way. I believe that you are the expert of yourself and deep down, you have the power to become the best that you can possibly be. I can help you to get to know yourself better and to untangle all the conflict that is getting in the way. Throughout life, people pass their own values, judgements and advice onto us, which we begin to take on as our own without realising. We believe things about ourselves that are not true and this can create confusion and uncertainty. I want to help you to learn who you really are so that you can begin to live a happy and fulfilled life. I'm a BACP Registered Counsellor working with adults both in-person and online who may be experiencing issues around anxiety, bereavement, depression, feeling sad/low mood, loneliness, low self-confidence and low self-esteem, relationship problems and family issues. I specialise in helping individuals who feel stuck in difficult relationships (partners, family, friends) or are trying to navigate life after leaving one of these relationships. These issues can create feelings of hopelessness, isolation and a fear of the future. I will sit beside you and help you to process what is going on so that you can begin to rebuild your strength and find a way forward.
