Counselling in Guildford

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.

I provide a safe space for Talking Therapy and EMDR Therapy sessions. EMDR Therapy can be helpful for PTSD and Trauma, whether a one off incident or chronic trauma such as childhood abuse or neglect and many other mental health presentations, such as body dysmorphia, grief, self-esteem, chronic pain, anxiety, sexual assault, childhood neglect, domestic abuse and more. Many of these presentations can leave you feeling isolated, frustrated and helpless, by processing these via bilateral stimulation to a resolution, life can become more manageable and less triggering, allowing you to achieve your goals.

How can I help? Are you longing for change or dreading it? Therapy is a space to explore, what is dominating your thoughts and keeping you awake at night - a time just for you. Working at your pace, I can help you reflect on the things that are holding you back, why you are where you are, and if and how you want to bring about change. I am a warm, highly engaged, and calm therapist, known for tackling the difficult conversations others shy away from. I believe that gaining a greater understanding of your story can change your perspective, enabling you to live more authentically and so be more at ease with yourself.

Life brings many challenges and it could be that one of the reasons you have come to this site is to find support or a safe port in what can often feel like a storm. I offer a safe, supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore a wide range of challenges that can feel unsettling to discuss with the outside world. Finding the exact words to best communicate what is troubling you might feel hard or you might feel under pressure from others to attend therapy. We would work in a consulting room located close to the centre of Guildford.

Do you feel like no matter how hard you try you just can’t shake the feeling that life is a daily battle you must fight? You may feel like you’ve had enough of being overwhelmed, stressed and tired. Perhaps relationships are difficult to create or maintain, or you may be tired of fighting unhelpful behaviours, pain and distress. I just want to let you know that you are not alone and that there is hope. I can provide you with a safe space where you can understand where those issues are arising from and find ways to stop and prevent them. Life is difficult in so many ways, but you can find ways to free yourself and start living fully!

Hello. I am NHS trained and experienced in working with broad range of symptoms, behaviours, mental health and emotional problems. You may be looking to understand extremely strong and exhausting feelings, or why it is you seem to feel little about anything. It may be that you are experiencing troubling negative thoughts and beliefs about yourself, others, or both. Or it may be you have noticed that some of the things you do in personal or work relationships, or to yourself, are destructive and unhelpful. And it may be all of the above, or just repeated sense that something just isn’t right - but your not sure what.

Over the years, I've come to appreciate that everyone, regardless of their background, has a unique story that is worthy of being heard and understood. Life, with its unpredictable turns, presents challenges that can sometimes feel insurmountable. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, respect, and evidence-based practice. I combine both Psychodynamic Therapy, where I look to understand your childhood to where you are today, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an integrative approach.

My main aim in life has and always will be to help people find peace and joy in their lives. This can be very difficult to source when life today is so challenging. Whether it is financial worries, loss of a loved one, disability, illness, family issues, bullying, work pressure, trauma, (amongst others) all can induce stress, depression and anxiety. Besides a wealth of life experience, I have a degree in Integrative relationship counselling, which enables me to work in a way to suit each individual and their issues. We will work together at your pace to find a healing path.

Hi. You're probably here because you are finding life tough. Life can be so hard, and it can feel even harder finding help. After years of working in Education and the NHS, I know how tricky it can be to access support. I aim to fill that gap.

I also specialise in eating disorders, self harm, body image, anxiety, OCD, trauma. Maybe I can help?
