Avenues Therapy & Counselling Centre Bexleyheath
Supporting each step towards your mental & emotional wellbeing.
Therapy & Counselling Services
Welcome to Avenues
I'm so pleased that you have found our site, my name is Sehar and as the Founder and Director of Avenues, let me offer you a warm welcome.
Avenues was born out of a desire to provide high quality therapy, in an easily accessible location with fully qualified therapists. It was important to me to create a therapeutic space that welcomes diversity and inclusivity from all members of our community, particularly for people who may feel marginalised.
With the variety of experience and specialist interests on offer, there will be a therapist to suit your individual needs. Please take a look at the therapists profile pages to see who you might like to work with.
I'm always available if you have any questions or need any further information.
What we offer
We can all have times in our lives that are difficult to navigate. It can be hard to know where or who to turn to. Our therapists will be alongside you to work through the challenges you are facing.
It can be daunting to take the first step to get support. You may not know exactly what you need or how to find the right therapist for your needs. Please take a look around our site which will hopefully answer any questions you may have about counselling and about our therapists.
Next steps
Have a look at the therapist's profiles to see who you may like to work with. Contact us and we will put you in contact with your chosen therapist. If you are unsure who might be a good fit, get in touch and we can arrange a call to discuss your needs and refer you to the appropriate therapist. All our therapists work independently so charge their own fees which are displayed in their profile page.

We can help with
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural reaction when we feel fear or worry but sometimes it can feel overwhelming and out of control. Click the link to read more about anxiety.
Bereavement
Bereavement can affect us all differently. Alongside the sense of loss, we can sometimes feel quite isolated and alone with our feelings. Taking to someone may help. Click on the link to read more about bereavement.
Depression
Depression is a persistent feeling of sadness, often with a lack of interest or motivation. The impact of depression can affect your daily life as you may struggle to function with everyday activities. Click the link to read more about depression.
Relationships
When our significant relationships are struggling, it can affect other aspects of our lives. It can help to talk to someone about your relationship either as a couple or individually.
Loss
Loss is the feeling of missing something/someone that was once a significant part of your life but is no longer available or present. There are many different types of loss, some of which may not be acknowledged or recognised by ourselves or others.
Trauma
Trauma is the result of an event or situation that threatens your safety or security and can leave you feeling helpless and overwhelmed.
Children & Young People
Children & Young People sometimes need support too. If you are looking for support for your child or adolescent, we have some therapists who will be able to help.
