Hi, if you thinking about starting therapy, I can help, I offer sessions online, face to face and by telephone. I can also provide walk and talk therapy. Availability now to see new clients at flexible times. I work with Adults, Children and Young People and also provide Supervision. When you feel weighed down by difficult thoughts and emotions, it's good to talk openly to in a safe space- I am here to support you. Maybe your child has been struggling for a long time, and needs help now- I'm here to provide talking and creative therapies. Sessions are available for as long as needed. Short term therapy too, you have a choice without being limited to limited time. I'm an experienced Psychotherapist and Supervisor working with Adults, Children, and Adolescents for a wide range of issues with you as client at the heart of my work. Talking and play therapy in settings including-NHS and healthcare, Schools, Children's Services, Bereavement and other agencies. I am a member of BACP and ACAMH, the leading organisation for working with children and adolescents. Flexible session times during the week in Sidcup town centre and virtually. Excellent transport links at the practice.  I offer a safe, non-judgemental therapy space to explore whatever is worrying you. Having someone to listen to and offload can really make a difference in life. I work from a Client Centred model, incorporating aspects of Integrative, CBT and Psychodynamic therapy. The therapeutic alliance between client and counsellor is of great value to our work. I'm a trained Bereavement Counsellor, School Counsellor , Supervisor and BACP Qualified Substance Misuse Counsellor Practitioner. I also work with looked after children and intersectionality. I provide Counselling for a wide spectrum of losses, having trained and worked in a Service in the largest London Borough. I have worked with extended family, partners, parents, siblings and carers. My work covers complex and traumatic bereavement, loss of a child, sudden death, suicide, loss from addiction, and multiple losses. I have extensive experience in loss and complex trauma across all ages. This includes PTSD and attachment issues. Exploring early attachments helps you to understand patterns in later life. Some of the issues I work with are Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Complex Mental Health Issues, Child Therapy, Relationship Issues, Work Place Issues, Neuro Diversity, Female Health including endometriosis and post natal depression Diversity and family issues. As humans I understand feelings of self-doubt, worry and difficult emotions. Therapy offers that safe space to talk and release those feelings and thoughts. My own therapy as a client means I can resonate with experiences explored. My service is fully accessible. I also work as a Clinical Supervisor, supporting client work with children, adolescents, adults and students in all settings. I provide Supervision to qualified and trainee counsellors, colleges, learning centres, agencies and allied healthcare professionals. Extensive experience in NHS, charities, community, schools, public sector, agencies and private healthcare settings. I use talking therapy, drawing and play therapy, creative tools and ideas. I encourage you as client to bring what you need to therapy. I'm a Diversity Specialist and I support access to therapy for all.
