Roland Tolley

I work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I am a BACP Accredited  counsellor with over 17 years experience working with adults and sixth form students. I have specialised in trauma work for over 12 years.

I have worked as a lead counsellor in GP surgeries and in a general counselling service with those having more complex needs, both for over 5 years.

I have also worked in a specialist trauma service for over 4 years with survivors of childhood and adult sexual violence and abuse  and as a Barnardo's trained adoption counsellor for about two years .

My general counselling work includes anxiety, stress and depression, bereavement, relationship issues (including separation, divorce and affairs) and low self esteem and self-image. It includes workplace stress, bullying and harassment.

My trauma counselling work includes working with childhood and adult trauma whether or not it has resulted in  PTSD. However, I have worked with PTSD, CPTSD and most dissociative disorders and conditions and have considerable additional training and experience in this area.

I am an integrative counsellor combining CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred approaches to meet your specific needs. Where this involves trauma I provide trauma-informed therapy using a standard three stage trauma-informed model.

I am based in a comfortable room in the Beckenham Chiropractor Centre. Reception staff are available throughout the day if you need any assistance while waiting for your session.  My aim is to provide an environment which promotes recovery whether from anxiety, depression or trauma.

My online sessions are £50 where this is appropriate to your needs or £60 for sessions in person in my room, which may be more suitable if you require trauma counselling.

My initial counselling session allows space for you to ask any questions that you may have and for me to understand the background to your current concerns and to discover together how we might best proceed.  This initial session may last a little longer (60-70 minutes maximum), but will cost the same as my standard weekly counselling session of 50 minutes.
