Stephen McQueenie

At the moment I have some face to face availability at my private practice in Bletchingley in Surrey on Wednesdays. I work mainly afternoons and evenings but can be flexible.

Please contact me for up to date availability fo online counselling sessions and for my walk and talk service. 

If you let me know what hours you can do I'll do my best to work around you.

I'm trained in an integrative approach to counselling. This means I can use different types of therapy such as Person Centred, CBT, Psychodynamic and Solution Focussed Brief Therapy. We can discuss this when we have a chat.

I always make the sessions yours to speak about what you want. Previous clients have found this works really well.

Having previously spent 30 years working for one of Londons' emergency services, I have a wealth of experience of the anxieties, day-to-day struggles, hardships, and pressures life can bring and I really do know how difficult it can become sometimes. I have lived through trauma, stress, multiple bereavements and divorce and these life events have given me a huge skill set I can utilise to help you.

I know only too well the effects of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, , eating disorders, bereavement, and low self-esteem. I have worked as a counsellor within the NHS so I have also helped clients with a wide spectrum of other problems.

By using the right approach, and by giving you space, time and support,   recovery and forward progress are not only possible but likely.

You shouldn't be feeling anxious, stuck, alone, scared, unhappy or confused. I'm here to help and to listen so please just get in touch and we can have a free half hour chat and take it from there.

I believe the key to all therapy is being listened to and feeling safe to share what's on your mind. I'm friendly and open and I will do everything I can to get you to where you want to be.

I'll give you all the support you need. I will never judge you and I will always give you the space to speak freely about how you feel and from this we can start to work things out .

My promise to you is that we'll always work as a team and together we'll work towards getting you to where you want be.

My practice room is in a very discreet private location and is easily accessible from the M25, M23 and A25 in Surrey.   

I offer a free half hour consultation when we first speak and this can be done by phone or online via Zoom.  The choice is yours.  

During this you can tell me what it is you would like help with and I can explain a little of how I work and what you can expect in future sessions.

In our first full session you will discover that there's no need to be nervous as my counselling style is very informal and designed to put you at ease. 

During this session we can discuss how we review and assess your progress and begin to explore what will work for you.
