Professional counselling and psychotherapy in Croydon, Caterham, Sevenoaks,West Wickham,Surrey and Kent

Pamela E. Roper BA (Hons)
MBACP,Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling

Welcome to my website. I hope you find it informative and useful.

I aim to provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental environment where differences are valued and respected. These may relate to culture, religion, age, social background, sexual orientation and gender.

I offer all prospective clients an initial interview, which takes two sessions. This gives both of us the opportunity to consider whether we wish to work together.

If we decide to work together, all future sessions will be for 50 minutes. I generally leave 10 minutes between sessions to protect each client's confidentiality.

I am a trained and experienced psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist, who has been working for 15 years. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offer counselling and psychotherapy to adult individuals, both long-term and short-term. As such I subscribe to their Code of Ethics and Practice.

Some of the issues that I have experience in addressing are:

Depression

Anxiety

Stress

Relationship difficulties

Life transitions and life crises

Bereavement

Loss

Anger

Self-esteem

Counselling tends to be of shorter duration than psychotherapy and usually focusses on one specific issue. For example you might be experiencing anxiety and want to work on ways of managing and decreasing it. Or you might have been bereaved and want to explore grief in a supportive environment.

Psychotherapy tends to be of longer duration and looks at wider issues of how you are in the world, patterns that may be preventing you from being fulfilled, relationship difficulties, feelings of general dissatisfaction with life and lack of purpose. Longer term work allows you to explore a range of issues more deeply and address the underlying causes of repetitive frustration and unhappiness.
