Online Counselling for Croydon South

Working from a trauma-informed basis, Kate prioritises a safe, confidential and empathic therapy space. It is in such an environment that a collaborative therapeutic relationship may be developed to facilitate client goals. These goals may consist of developing emotional regulation, recovering from childhood trauma, establishing communication skills, enhancing self-care practices or any other number of goals. Individuals may engage with short-term counselling or longer therapeutic work to address issues such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship conflict and personal development.

Hello! I am Paulina. As an integrative counsellor, I am passionate about helping individuals overcome a variety of psychological and emotional issues. My background in humanities and psychology, as well as my experience of living in multiple countries, has given me a unique perspective on the importance of addressing not only the mind but also the body and lifestyle habits in the healing process. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours, and work towards achieving a greater sense of self-awareness and well-being.

Lisa is a Counselling Psychologist who is warm, approachable and has worked with people facing all kinds of difficulties. Lisa enjoys assisting people to close the gap between where they are now and the life they really want. This may involve fostering self-compassion, dismantling a sneaky inner critic or exploring long-held family patterns contributing to people-pleasing and self sacrifice. Lisa assists people who are feeling 'blah' and 'meh' to move towards fulfilled and thriving. This occurs through reconnection to self, sometimes after years of conditioning and "shoulds" from others and society.

My name is Karen, I decided to pursue a career in psychology due to a strong interest in human behaviour and helping individuals improve their mental health and wellbeing. I have always been fascinated with the connection between mind and body, and how our emotional state effects our physical wellbeing.

I am dedicated to providing clients with a trauma-informed and person centred approach to clients experiencing mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, post traumatic and complex trauma. I believe that "change can be hard at first, seems messy in the middle, but gorgeous in the end". I see my role is to listen, to provide a non-judgemental space, to provide empathy and build a strong therapeutic relationship to assist clients to overcome life's challenges. I work with clients collaboratively and therapeutically to establish personalised goals and develop strategies to assist in overcoming obstacles.
