"Listening is not waiting to be heard ...
... but total focus on what is being said." - Beverley Chambers
Counsellor for couples & individuals in Bromley
As a qualified Person Centred and Integrative Counsellor I am an impartial listener who is professionally trained to help you deal with and make positive changes when suffering from stress, anxiety or depression which may be due to work, relationships, pass trauma and other issues in your life that have not been dealt with so that you can heal, off-load and move forward.
My name is Beverley Chambers and I have been a practising counsellor in Bromley for over 20 years. As a registered member of BACP, I provide counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I work with individuals, couples and families.
I've studied various counselling methods including couples counselling, brief solution focused therapy, life coaching, motivational interviewing, family therapy, alcohol addiction counselling etc, which makes me an integrative counsellor, whilst using the mentioned approaches I implement the person-centred philosophy of Carl Rogers. He teaches that:
"For a person to grow, they need an environment that provides them with genuineness, acceptance (being seen with unconditional positive regard) and empathy (being listened to and understood)."
You will experience this in our sessions becoming more aware and understanding of your issues, you will develop a strong self-worth and learn skills to address the issues that have affected you.
As a therapist I understand how relationships such as couples, work related, families, domestic abuse, domestic violence, bullying, sexual abuse will have an impacted on your environment and emotions. Majority of counselling is due to these relationships and if we can take time to address these problems this would enrich your lives instead of remaining stagnate and move forward.
Other area that I have experience with :
- Stress
- Marital Problems
- Low Self-Esteem
- Anxiety
- Bereavement
- Depression
- Addiction
As a Counsellor located in Bromley I am easily accessible for clients from Beckenham, Chislehurst, West Wickham, Petts Wood, Croydon, South London and Central London as there is good transport links and no restrictive parking.
How we can work together
We are all unique and work in different ways, so I use various counselling skills determined by the individual, simply because "one size does not fit all". Still I maintain the philosophy of Carl Rogers' teachings, as mentioned above.
If you feel you need or would benefit from counselling, you can contact me for a no-obligation initial assessment via this website, email baccounselling@gmail.com or call me on 07525656505.
Nothing is better than being able to overcome difficult times, and we work together to bring about positive change. When you take the first step in seeking counselling, what you're saying is "I am now ready to do something to help myself". My practice is in Bromley, easily accessible from Beckenham, Chistlehurst, Orpington, Sidcup, Kent and South London. For clients unable to attend my practice in Bromley I offer Zoom, Skype, FaceTime and Telephone Counselling.
