Oliver Trestain

I am a qualified BACP registered counsellor, experienced in working with adults, young people and children. I work in the Woking/Weybridge area but am also happy to offer online counselling and walking therapy.

Maybe you, or your child, are experiencing intense anxiety or your thoughts and emotions feel too much to handle. Perhaps you feel depressed, lost or stuck, or your relationships are causing you a lot of suffering. Life might just seem totally overwhelming.

I offer a safe and confidential space for adults, young people and children to explore their issues. Sometimes we just need someone to listen to us and to help us develop new perspectives on life’s many challenges. Therapy can also help us to look at ourselves in new ways and to investigate how our ways of dealing with life, and other people in our lives, might be holding us back or causing us pain.

I can also help you to develop a greater understanding of your own anxiety, to look at what's triggering it, how anxiety works in your body and mind, and to give you some simple, but very effective ways of reducing it.

With children and young people I have worked in several primary and secondary schools across the area, as well as working for the charity The Matthew Hackney Foundation which provides free counselling in schools and low cost counselling outside of school hours. I have worked with a wide range of issues, from ADHD and Autism, to trauma, self-esteem and anxiety.

I work in a lovely counselling room in Byfleet and also on Zoom and outdoors using walking therapy.

Finding the right counsellor is so important and so I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation, where you can explain why you are looking for counselling for yourself or your child, find out more about how I work and ask any questions you may have.
