Roland Tolley

I work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ Senior Accredited  counsellor with over 16 years experience working with adults and sixth form students. I have specialised in trauma work for over 10 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 for over four years in a specialist trauma service with survivors of childhood and domestic abuse and sexual violence and as a Barnardo's trained adoption counsellor for about two years .

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

My trauma counselling work includes working with PTSD, CPTSD and most dissociative disorders and conditions and I 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 combine the integrative approach with 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 will assist you in exploring your concerns. 

My initial counselling assessment session aims to provide time 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 assessment session may last a little longer (60-70 minutes maximum), but will cost the same as my standard weekly counselling session of 50 minutes.
