Polly Singer

I am a qualified, experienced counsellor (Registered Member MBACP; Prof. Dip. Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy) currently working with Cruse Bereavement Care as well as in private practice. I see the therapeutic relationship as being at the heart of our work together. Whatever brings you to counselling I will aim to help you feel heard, valued and understood. I can help you identify the challenges you are experiencing and to empower you to discover ways to cope.

I see my role as empowering you to heal, to rediscover your strengths and to increase your ability to trust yourself.

I enjoy my counselling work immensely and find it a privilege to help empower the people I work with towards growth and change.
