Hello, my name is Jamie and I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered). I currently work full time for the NHS as a Principal Clinical Psychologist, and in the evenings I run a small private psychological therapy practice in Bexleyheath. 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), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), and Psychodynamic approaches to tailor each intervention to the needs of the individual.

I offer a no-obligation assessment initially, which is opportunity for us to discuss your situation and determine better if therapy with me could meet your needs; only if you are happy to do we then proceed to an ongoing therapy, be it on a short or long term basis. I incorporate psychodynamic, existential, cognitive behavioural and person centred approaches to offer a therapy suited to your unique needs. Whilst we all know something of suffering anxiety, depression, bereavement, or other issues, your particular experience is entirely your own. I believe in a therapy that accomodates your individuality.

Does life feel quite overwhelming? Are you struggling with your identity? Are you finding it difficult to cope? You may be struggling to make sense of your world and your place in the world and trying to answer the 'who am I?, why am I here?' questions. You may have experienced childhood trauma which you are trying to make sense of. Life can feel challenging with ups and downs. We face unexpected situations that test our resilience and ability to cope. These challenges can impact on relationships, self esteem, work. family etc. We are not equipped to figure it all out alone.

Life can sometimes becomes overwhelming, what you thought you had a handle on can suddenly feel incredibly unbearable. Conflicting emotions or unhealthy behaviours can arise from self-expectations, family or peer pressure and the never ending demands of a 24/7 world. Whatever your age, background, race or culture, being heard and talking freely in a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space can be incredibly empowering in understanding who you are and making sense of the thoughts and feelings that arise. As an integrative counsellor, I am flexible in working with the best possible approach to achieve the best outcome for you.

It often takes courage to come to counselling. Sometimes one knows that things aren’t quite right, that one might need help in a particular aspect of life. It can be hard to sift through things alone, perhaps being in a muddle, unsure or confused. I offer a welcoming, restful, calm space where clients can feel free to be themselves and explore what’s important to them. I follow an integrative approach, using whatever therapeutic modality is needed, whether humanistic, person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT or existential. Fundamentally, my relational style is at the core of who I am and how I practice, working in partnership together.

I am a BACP Registered counsellor, who works an integrative manner which means I can adapt how I work to meet your needs. That may be Person Centered Therapy Psychodynamic Therapy or CBT.

Do you have days where you are able to function with your struggles and days you find it too hard to function? Hi I'm Denika and I would love to help! We'll think about everything that makes you, you! Including cultural and social aspects which are not typically considered in traditional therapeutic models. There's many versions of you, and together we can discover the version you want to be most present. I also offer private Neurodevelopmental assessments (starting from £1900).

People struggle to talk frankly about their sexual lives and relationships. Although difficulties arising from sex and relationships are much more prevalent than most people think, only a few people can still share their struggles with others. Therefore, psychosexual and relationship therapy and psychotherapy offer a unique and confidential space to have those conversations with me, which means you can reach out for support in these areas regardless of your sexual preferences and relationship experiences.

I have worked within fostering and adoption, Couple and family Counselling, Bereavement and Youth Counselling. My experience comes from having worked within a variety of family and child settings, a counselling service for young people, a hospice as a bereavement counsellor, and supporting couples in their relationships. I work with families who foster and the secondary trauma that they can also experience. Although I have been trained in the psychodynamic approach, I work using other models to best suit and help individuals explore and become aware of blocks in their lives, working towards making changes.

I work in collaboration with my clients, using a solution focussed approach. The aim is to identify the problem along with causal factors and to develop a unique, person centred treatment plan. I have many years experience and very good outcome rates - many of my clients come from personal recommendation. I have worked in both the NHS and private settings since 2000 and am also a registered mental health nurse. I have worked with people from all backgrounds. My approach is open, non-judgemental and and down-to-earth.

I have worked as a therapist for many years and enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences. I value hearing each person's story and supporting them to find inner calm, understanding, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking, behaving and relating to others. There are many reasons why people seek therapy and would like someone to talk to. I have specialist interest and experience in working with a variety of difficulties, primarily depression, anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, stress &burnout, relationship issues and insecure attachment styles.
