In Person Counselling in Chilworth

Many thanks for reaching out to to me. I am a qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist and offer telephone, online and face to face sessions. I have been very privileged and humbled in recent years working with individuals like yourself, in appreciating the issues and problems that you have to contend with, especially during these current trying times. I will embark on a journey with you in a supportive, safe and confidential manner. There will be times when we will share tears, laughter, silence, challenging situations and so on. Whatever happens during our developing therapeutic relationship, I will be there for you.

My passion is to help people overcome issues they feel limit them, enabling them to live more satisfying, fulfilled lives. We all have times when life just doesn’t seem to work how we would like it to. I provide a professional space where your concerns can be safely explored, facilitating you to come to a greater understanding of yourself, so you can make more informed choices going forward, bringing a greater sense of well-being. I am experienced in supporting issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, panic attacks and the legacy of trauma. I have worked with many students, young adults and adults.

I am a person centred, systemic, psychodynamic counsellor and Relate trained in relationship counselling. I help people with anxiety, depression, low mood and loneliness, self harm, eating issues, retirement, parenting, separation and the way they relate to others. Couples come to me to work through their underlying issues, patterns of conflict, communication challenges, parental differences, feelings about roles and responsibilities, beliefs from childhood or difficult life obstacles. Individuals face these issues too and also seek support on how to stay or if it is time to leave.

Life will always present us with challenges and difficult situations. Sometimes these challenges can get on top of us and we stop living and enjoying our lives as fully as we would like. This is where counselling can be of help. Counselling is about offering a supportive relationship in a safe and confidential environment to talk through whatever is concerning them. Counselling is not about giving advice and counsellors can never be experts in other people’s lives. Counselling is about helping people find their unique strengths to work through a particular issue in the best way for them so that they can live a happy life.

Have you stopped doing the things you used to enjoy? Do you spend more time looking after others than yourself? Are you feeling resentful and or under appreciated? I can help you to find the time to reconnect to the things that fulfill you and to feel more appreciated and connected in your relationships.

Do you feel anxious or worried most of the time, with that feeling of dread or panic? Perhaps you have started withdrawing from social things or avoiding certain situations, that cause overthinking, racing heart and churning in the stomach? Do you feel tense, nervous or unable to relax, or have a sense of dread, fearing the worst? Is the world speeding up or slowing down? Does it Feel like other people can notice and see your anxiety making you feel vulnerable? When we feel like this something needs to change.

Hi. My name is Krystyna. I am a counsellor who helps people who have experienced traumatic life events to break free from fear (anxiety) and build happy, full of contentment lives. I am fluent in English and Polish and I am confident to work in either language. As a fully qualified and experienced counsellor I can work effectively in a short-term solution-based therapy, (up to twelve sessions) or open-ended counselling, whereby the sessions are paced in line with clients' need and readiness to embrace positive change.

I'm an experienced psychotherapist having worked in both private practice and NHS . I have dealt with a broad range of issues, including but not limited to: anxiety and depression, loneliness, relationship issues, sadness, loss, stress, self harm, sexual identity/gender, bereavement, redundancy, trauma, PTSD and disassociation. I have also worked with and set up a Post-Natal Depression Support Group for parents in collaboration with Surestart and a Doctor's Surgery in Surrey. I am also a member of the Guildford Centre for Psychotherapy.

I can help with various difficulties such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, addictions, low self-esteem, ADHD, narcissistic abuse, panic attacks, OCD, trauma, bereavement, PTSD, anger management, social anxiety, relationship issues, sexuality, disordered eating, body image, body appreciation, parenthood, abortion, career change, lack of motivation and many others. As an integrative therapist I use various therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT),

Hi there, I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist, trained to understand the different ways in which psychological distress can present itself and impact upon people’s lives. The breadth of my training and clinical experience enables me to draw upon different therapeutic approaches, thus allowing for a flexible approach, tailored to a person's needs and own set of circumstances. I will aim to help you better understand the underlying causes of your difficulties, supporting you along the way to make meaningful changes in the way you approach difficult situations in your work, with your partner or family, and in your social life.

I offer a safe, gentle and honest space for you to express and explore your life, from your past, your present circumstance, or aspirations for your future, to help you find and coalesce your choices and your potency. I have worked with a broad range of people over the years, and I work towards helping you face your challenges and pain and stuckness; consider new perspectives; realise your potential, and making true choices and transformation in your life.

Having spent over a decade working in the health and fitness industry prior to training as a psychologist, I have a particular interest in issues relating to the body, including weight, eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, and pain. I have extensive experience working with people in larger bodies and am an advocate of health at every size and body diversity. I also have a strong interest in LGBTQ+ issues and am experienced in working with clients who struggle with a range of other difficulties including anxiety, depression, loneliness, bereavement and life transitions. I am able to support adults and young people aged sixteen +.

If you seeking to feel safe with a therapist, my goal is to provide you with a feeling of trust and security. You may feel this sense of safety in our first session, or it may take many sessions to build. I believe that when you are relaxed, open and comfortable, that is when the most fruitful work can take place. You may be struggling with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, childhood issues, self-harm or suicidal thoughts; or perhaps you aren't sure how to put into words what you're going through, you just know that you need to speak to someone.

Does saying “no” to people feel painfully hard? Do you judge yourself more harshly than you judge others? Do you often feel like you’re not good enough or failing somehow? Is constantly trying to please people, or trying to get everything right, wearing you out? Are you tired of feeling anxious, depressed or angry all the time? If so, therapy with Thea Psychology can help. Thea Psychology specialises in helping women struggling with: self-esteem, self-criticism & self-confidence; anxiety, depression, stress & anger; people pleasing and perfectionism; relationship difficulties and boundary setting.
