Counselling in Bexleyheath

Hi my name is Helen, I am passionate about counselling and the positive change it can bring. Together we can explore difficulties and challenges you may be experiencing in a safe, supportive, non-judgemental, confidential way. My training allows me to access different interventions which can be tailored to benefit and support each unique client. Sharing your feelings may be the first step. My aim is to help gain emotional strength to affect change in your life.

If you are experiencing anxiety and depression whether it is due to events in your life or if you simply don't know why you are feeling like this, it can be very difficult to reach down within yourself and seek out your own resources to manage these feelings. Imagine being able to manage your own anxiety or depression in a way that gives you more control over these emotions rather than them having control over you, how liberating that would be. I feel that everyone has the power to do this but struggle to find their own resources for this. Taking that first step in reaching out for counselling could be your first step towards this.

Have you ever said you were fine and you wasn't because someone wouldn't understand? Have you ever wondered if Counselling could be for you? Maybe I can help. Have you found yourself struggling to cope with difficult emotions such as anxiety, depression or low self esteem, feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope?

Hello, my name is Jamie and I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered). I currently work full time for the NHS as a Senior Clinical Psychologist, and in the evenings I run a small private psychological therapy practice in Bexleyheath, Kent. I have specialised in delivering evidence based therapy to adults experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, relationship problems and to those with a history of trauma. Adopting an integrative approach to therapy, I draw on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Psychodynamic approaches to tailor each intervention to the needs of the individual.

I'm here to support client's who have challenging lives which are affected by anxiety disorders, depression, bereavement or who feels stuck in their relationship patterns. We build our attachment styles from a young age. We can find ourselves stuck in the same attachment patterns as we get older. I have supported clients to face their own attachment fears that impact their personal relationships. Also worked with clients who have self-harm and suicidal ideation and supported them to face their missing voids.

Are you feeling exhausted, stressed and overwhelmed? Are you in physical or emotional pain, working relentlessly in different areas of your life: at work, home or study, in relationships, caring or parental roles? Do you need to make sense of and overcome trauma, feelings of sadness, low-self esteem or burnout? As a third generation British Jamaican Psychologist, managing long-term conditions whilst being a mother of three, I warmly welcome clients from all walks of life, and have a passion for supporting people living alongside mental, physical or neurological difficulties and trauma.

I am a professional, empathic, and friendly BACP accredited Integrative Counsellor, working with both individuals and couples. With over 16 years experience, I provide a safe, confidential environment in which you can discuss your feelings and concerns without judgement. People may seek therapy because they have reached a crisis point in their life and are struggling to cope alone. Others make contact because they feel stuck or have become aware that they keep falling into unhelpful behaviour or thought patterns which prevent them from living life to the full.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost or confused? Do you lack a sense of purpose? Is something holding you back from living the life you want to live? Life can be full of challenges and sometimes we need help to make sense of what is going on. Perhaps your past experiences are having an impact on you and are stopping you from being the person you want to be. I understand that life can be difficult at times. Having been through my own life struggles, I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help. Counselling has been a huge part of my own journey and after noticing how it helped me, I wanted to help others in the same way.

I am a qualified counsellor with 25 years experience working in GP surgeries and 7 years in private practice. I embrace the integrative approach meaning that I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques to suit the individual. Counselling can be a short or long term intervention and will help to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe place. Many different things can bring you to counselling and I work with a wide range of issues. I aim to provide a compassionate, empathetic but down to earth approach which takes account of personal history and yet be focused and goal orientated.

I have been practising as a Counsellor for over 18 years and I am a Registered Member of the BACP. There are times in our lives when we feel unable to cope. Problems may arise and we may need help and space to think through ways of moving forward. It may be painful memories from the past, events in the present or worries about the future. I can help you to make sense of how you're feeling in a safe, confidential and non judgemental environment.

We may use different words to describe what's going on for us when we are looking for therapy: unsure, fed up, low, empty, frustrated, anxious, panicky, over-thinking, unable to sleep, too sensitive, or like can't carry on... Perhaps feeling not in control, not belonging, invisible or wanting to escape, or lost. It can be overwhelming, taking too much from us. So starting therapy is right. We can use therapy space, free of judgement, expectation or failure, to talk it all through and work things out.

Have you noticed the pressure of life bearing down on you? Did you start the new year looking ti make a change? As a human givens therapist my aim is to help you get your needs met in balance. Sometimes it can be helpful to just share your story and unburden yourself. We all need tools to help us navigate the challenges of life. I love to listen, talk and share ideas. I will work with you as an individual, because variation is the norm and no two people will ever fit the same mould. My life experience has given me a particukar interest in working with young people.

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” — Rumi Therapy is a tool to resolve the challenges in your life, to help you feel more confident and more in control, providing insight and showing you a path through the experiences that are part of being human. Life can put you in a lonely place, maybe too hard to cope with, complicated,challenging or confusing. I offer you the space for your story to be told, heard and understood in a confidential, non-judgmental safe space. There is nothing that cannot be "worked with and worked through".

Most of us will struggle with something at one point in our lives or another, some times this can be an illness or lack of support, others can be triggered by a life changing event, a relationship breakdown, a loss of career, or maybe a bereavement or a past trauma, all of which can lead to us feeling overwhelmed and leave us struggling with day to day tasks. Sometimes we just need a sounding board, someone to listen to help us process and untangle the thoughts and feelings we are experiencing. I myself know how hard this admission and acknowledgment can be and seeking help is not always easy.

I carry out appropriate assessments for transsexuals plus letters of recommendation for hormones and surgery etc. I follow the standards of Care. The object of my service, as well as accepting all clients equally, regardless of whether they are male or female. Is to provide a respectful, supportive and beneficial online experience for all. One that provides relevant and up to date information which enables clients to understand, benefit and further develop their sense of self-worth/inner strength all to tolerate the ongoing fears that accompany Gender Dysphoria a birth condition experienced by many.

Do you constantly have anxious thoughts circling around your mind, that just wont stop? Does your anxiety stop you living life as you want to? Maybe you have experienced a trauma and are tormented by flashbacks and nightmares? Anxiety attacks can be overwhelming and leave you unable to cope with everyday life. If you have suffered a trauma reliving the event over and over with no control can be terrifying. I understand the dark place that Anxiety and PTSD can leave you in and the feeling of loneliness and isolation that may go with it. As horrible as it is to suffer from either of these the good news is that both can be overcome!

I work with clients who are experiencing any of the anxiety disorders; Generalised Anxiety Disorder (ie, worrying a lot of the time about different things), OCD, Panic Attacks, PTSD, Body Dismorphic Disorder and Health Anxiety. I also work with Depression and low self esteem. In addition, I offer a space to explore life issues and relationship difficulties although I do not offer couples' counselling. I generally work with clients on a medium term basis so around about 12-15 sessions per difficulty.

Hello and welcome to all of you who are taking the courageous step to find a therapist to help you. My clients have often commented on how relaxed and empowered they feel when working with me. This enables the exploration of emotions, behaviour and thought processes to help overcome concerns and issues. My work ethos is that successful counselling comes from a safe and trusting relationship, guided by professional principles. If you are struggling to cope with challenging situations your self-care starts here. You have nothing to lose by giving me a call because I believe everyone is capable of change with the right support.
