Seren Mustafa

Hey! I'm Seren, a counsellor based in Kent, working across Bromley, Bickley and surrounding areas.

Alongside my work with Westmeria Counselling Charity in Bromley, I offer private counselling both face-to-face and online.

I work with adults and young people, supporting a range of emotional, personal and relationship challenges. I also have experience working with young people and individuals with ASD, ADHD and additional SEN needs. I recognise that everyone communicates and processes experiences differently, and take time to build understanding, find a mutual language and adapt my approach so each person feels heard, respected and valued.

My integrative approach draws on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), allowing me to tailor our work to your individual needs and experiences.

I believe meaningful counselling is built on trust, connection and collaboration. I see therapy as a shared journey, where we work together to explore your experiences, thoughts and feelings, understand patterns and develop greater self-awareness. Your perspective and voice are central to our work.

I aim to create a warm, supportive space where you can be yourself and speak openly without judgement. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, relationship difficulties, past experiences or life changes, we can explore these together at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer short-term and longer-term counselling, supporting you towards greater self-understanding, confidence and emotional wellbeing.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting, so I aim to make the process as welcoming and comfortable as possible. I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation, giving you an opportunity to meet me, talk briefly about what has brought you to counselling, ask any questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right for you. There is no pressure or obligation to continue.

Our first sessions provide an opportunity for us to get to know one another, explore what you would like to gain from counselling and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. There is no expectation to share everything straight away; we work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Sessions are guided by what feels important to you. Some days you may want to explore something that has been troubling you, while at other times you may need space to reflect, untangle your thoughts or simply be heard. We work collaboratively, checking in along the way to ensure that our sessions feel helpful and relevant to your needs.

I offer both face-to-face and online counselling, providing flexibility around how we work together. My aim is to create an accepting and supportive environment where you feel able to explore difficult experiences, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and consider positive changes at your own pace.

Choosing a counsellor is a personal decision. Finding someone you feel comfortable with and can build a trusting relationship with really matters. I hope to offer that connection, alongside a genuine commitment to understanding and supporting you throughout your therapeutic journey.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship. We will talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain from our sessions and any questions or concerns you may have.

We will also gently discuss an initial assessment, your personal circumstances and any relevant background, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There is no pressure to share everything straight away. This is your time, and we can work together to establish what feels most helpful for you.
