Counselling in Orpington

Talking is a healing process. Having a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings could help you get your life back to where you want it to be. I offer you that space free from judgement - giving you time and offering a trained listening ear to help you to explore your feelings, grow in confidence and develop self-awareness that you can take forward with you and use in all areas of your life. I work with adults on a wide range of emotional and relational issues including anxiety and depression. I offer face-to-face sessions, telephone counselling or online counselling via Zoom, Teams or Whatsapp.

Counselling changed my life 11 years ago and I believe it can change yours too. Life can feel really hard at times and sometimes we might feel guilty or unreasonable for feeling this way because of a belief that there are always other people in a worse postition. All people's problems and difficulties are extremely unique and personal to them and I am passionate about helping people to understand why they think, feel and behave the way they do. Armed with this knowledge, people are able to start to take back control of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours and in turn, lead a happier, more content life.

As an individual or within a relationship, sometimes life can feel really difficult. Whether it's a temporary phase, distress in overcoming a difficult experience or unresolved problems from the past, we have all, at some point in our lives and relationships, experienced difficulty in understanding and making sense of our lives. This can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, angry or frustrated and questioning our ability or our confidence to cope. Counselling has many benefits and over time can help you make sense of feelings and difficulties leading to greater self awareness.

Do you need space and time to talk? If so, I am here to offer you the time and space to explore your worries and concerns in a confidential and safe environment. In a busy world full of judgements and rules, I can offer you a space where your thoughts and worries will be heard, acknowledged and respected. I can provide you with a place where you will not feel judged and where you can feel free to express your deepest concerns. I can appreciate that making the first step can be incredibly challenging. If you have not experienced any counselling or psychotherapy before it is understandable that you may be nervous about what to expect.

I just want to be happy! How often have you found yourself uttering these words? It's a simple yet powerful statement that captures the universal desire for genuine happiness. Sometimes, depression and anxiety can unexpectedly enter our lives, manifesting in various ways. Some feel immobilised by it and others experience a constant sense of unease throughout their daily routines. Regardless of where you find yourself on this spectrum, therapy can offer you a pathway towards healing and reclaiming that much-deserved happiness

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.
