At the Guildford Counselling and Wellbeing Clinic we believe everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.  Our counselling and psychotherapy services are a small select group of therapists so we are able to carefully facilitate and support our clients in all areas of mental health with a very personal and individualised service.  Our best practice ethos, guided by the BACP ethical framework, enables a safe and confidential space to explore difficult feelings with experienced practitioners and partners.

The Guildford Counselling and Wellbeing Clinic provide a high quality and confidential counselling and psychotherapy service to individuals and couples in Guilford and Surrey.

We offer a wide range of counselling services, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.  We take an integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy, as well as evidence based therapies, using: Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, CBT, DBT, Mentalisation Based Therapy, Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, Relationship Counselling using the TR model, and both long term and short term arrangements to suit the approach. 

In addition, we now offer an SST Service (single session therapy) a specialist intensive approach designed to support you in your time of need, with no obligation for ongoing therapy.  These sessions are arranged with a trained senior therapist, in this model.

The first session will always be an Assessment, arranged with a senior therapist.

I am an experienced, Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist practising in Guildford, Haslemere, Putney and West London, face to face and on-line. I have many years of training and experience and I am a Registered Member of the BACP,  a professional body with a strict code of ethics for professional practice, which I abide by.  I hold a valid, enhanced DBS Certificate for work with the very vulnerable. In addition to my degrees and diploma qualifications I am completing a further MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health. 

I offer short term or open-ended long term counselling and psychotherapy. Working together we can explore aspects of your life you feel you are struggling with and the underlying causes. As a qualified Integrative therapist, I am able to draw on skills from a variety of therapeutic models, so I can tailor my approach to your specific needs. Using Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, CBT, and Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy, a time limited version of psychodynamic therapy, I take the view that patterns of experiences, often formed early in life, and childhood, are dynamically and unconsciously repeated in adult life. I provide a safe space just for you to talk about difficult feelings and experiences.

The first session is treated as an assessment and an opportunity to meet and feel comfortable with each other.
