I identify as being a British Bangladeshi Muslim female and offer culturally sensitive counselling.
I am a Integrative Counsellor and have been practising since 2016. The approach I use means I work collaboratively, combining different therapeutic perspectives with the clients needs and experiences both past and present. The relationship between myself and a client will be one that is non judgemental, genuine, and a welcoming one, a space which is confidential and your voice can be heard and listened to. I have several years of experience of working with victims of domestic abuse, and hate crime. I offer a therapeutic space that is both sensitive and responsive to culture, religion, disability and sexuality.

I counsel both men and women of all ages, and have specialist knowledge in counselling people with depression, helping people connect with their true feelings and understand themselves better.
Are you looking for a safe space to explore sensitive issues? Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks or the effects of past trauma? Or perhaps you find it hard to open up and talk about yourself. I am a friendly, qualified and experienced counsellor who is passionate about helping people who have never had counselling before or who find it difficult to talk. I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore both past and present issues. I offer one to one counselling for adults either face to face or over the telephone.

Hello, thank you for stopping by my page! Many of us often face difficult times or may not feel supported by the people or systems around us. You may be struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement, relationship issues, self-harm, trauma, or abuse. Therapy is an opportunity to focus on immediate/past issues, whilst also strengthening your own identity and self-worth. I aim to offer a safe, non-judgmental, confidential, therapeutic space and encourage people of different ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds to enquire.

I work routinely with Addiction- both with individuals struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviours, but also with family members. I also work with trauma, and am an Advanced EMDR Practitioner and trained in Clinical Sexology. Struggles in relationships can often be a cause to come to therapy and all my training and experience encompasses both communication with others, but more importantly ourselves. My aim as a therapist is to help you work through what fears or beliefs keep you stuck, and bring your attention to what you hope for, identifying how your strengths can help you achieve the goal you are aiming for.

Hi, I’m Alanna. Starting therapy can be daunting and that's completely understandable. It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable, however in doing so you are already taking steps towards making changes inside you, that will begin to change things around you too. My approach is to help you unpack what is going on for you at present, how this has developed over time and any recurring patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I am never thinking "what is wrong with you?" but rather what strategies had to be adopted in response to life's circumstances. I provide a warm, non-judgemental space for you to truly feel heard and understood.

It can be difficult to talk about what is worrying you, and you might not even be able to explain all of your feelings. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and empathetic space for you to explore thoughts, feelings and emotions that make you unique. I believe that you will have your own solutions, so I do not offer advice but will work with you for you to gain an insight into yourself, increasing self-awareness, developing greater inner strength and furthering personal growth and development. This, in turn, supports with anxiety, depression and other issues.

I am a qualified Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My theoretical approach is integrative and relational. This means that I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to find what is most helpful for each client. It also means I am particularly interested in how a client relates to themselves and to others, including how we experience each other. By exploring this together in a safe and confidential environment, I hope we will be able to play with new ways of being which support the possibility for change and growth.

Perhaps you feel anxious, insecure and that you depend on your relationships to be happy. It might be that you worry because you feel too needy in relationships. Maybe you have difficulties maintaining relationships because you end up pushing others away. You always find yourself in the same unhealthy patterns of being and relating. You would like to break these cycles and understand why they occur. You wish to understand yourself better, heal emotional wounds, and find a new perspective in life and relationships.

Hello, my name is Michelle, As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I am all too aware of just how daunting taking that initial step towards counselling can be. The mere fact that you are reading this now means you are just a phone call away from putting that right. While we sometimes turn to a friend or family member in our hour of need, it is when the problem lies with our nearest and dearest that we should consult with a professional.

My name is Sally Spigner and I am a BACP registered counsellor working from a relaxing office between Bromley and Grove Park. I am passionate about helping clients make changes in life, from teenagers with social anxiety, to executives suffering with burnout. If your life needs to change, and the change has to come now, come along and have a chat. Counselling can help when you have issues which you prefer not to talk about with family and friends, or indeed when they might be part of the problem. There is no need for you to face your problems alone.

You have been feeling tense and overwhelmed for no apparent reason, although everything ‘seems fine’ on the surface and people often tell you that you were lucky in life. It might be that you don’t quite know where your emotional and physical reactions are coming from. As if your mind and body have a life of their own. It might seem you have it together all the time but it takes so much energy to keep things going. This never-ending sense of internal pressure feels exhausting but you are not quite sure how to get out of the cycle. You might be confused about who you really are, what is your true self.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
