Corinne Pollard

I am a MBACP & UKCP registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist adhering to a strict code of ethics which informs my practice for individuals and couples, located in Crofton Park, London SE4. I completed my five years training to diploma level in 2007 and I have been practicing as an integrative therapist since 2004 which means that I understand and have experience of applying a broad range of theoretical perspectives which allows us many choices in the ways in which we might work together.

I continue to undertake training, qualifying as a couples therapist in 2011, Focusing Oriented Therapist in 2015 and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in May 2016. Somatic Experiencing is a potent psychobiological method for resolving trauma symptoms and relieving chronic stress. Trauma does not rest in the event but in the individuals nervous system and by paying attention to that, the system can be helped to reset restoring inner balance and enhancing resilience to stress. As we learn to read the language the body speaks we gain access to a deeper understanding of how we have been shaped by events in our lives that continue to affect us in the present and use this knowledge to begin healing our wounded selves.

If you are in difficulty in your relationship with your partner have you considered whether you might both benefit from couples therapy? In my experience where both partners work together, progress can move at a faster rate and results can be longer lasting as we work towards a shared understanding of how the difficulties in the relationship arise.

I welcome calls if you are undecided about whether to see a therapist or not, come as an individual or with your partner and offer a chat to explore your way forward with no pressure to take things further.

I charge just £30 for an initial session for individuals and couples during which we will be able to decide whether I am the right therapist for you and if we will continue to meet after which the cost of sessions are on a sliding scale between £45 - £75 for individuals and £55 - £85 for couples according to how much you can afford to pay
