Camelia Burn

I accept new clients and can see you online of face-to-face. 

I offer a blend of different modalities, to suit you and your unique personality. Most importantly, I offer a confidential, warm, non-judgmental and empathetic environment so that you can feel safe while exploring whatever brings you to therapy. Our work together can be time limited or open-ended, meaning that you remain in charge of setting a comfortable pace for the work we do together. We will review our sessions regularly to see how you feel you are progressing and decide on any adjustments you feel that you need. 

My approach is holistic, meaning that I may invite you to explore how certain emotions feel in your body, or where they are located, or we may use the expressive arts (e.g. clay) to convey more difficult emotions that you struggle to verbalise. I am also likely to encourage you to develop your wellbeing routine by suggesting meditation or breathing techniques. 

I believe that you are the expert in your own lived experience, therefore I will follow your lead and adopt a collaborative rather than directive approach. 

My training is in Integrative therapeutic counselling, placing the therapeutic relationship at the core. I draw from humanistic, existential, psychodynamic and CBT theory. I am currently deepening my understanding of Transactional Analysis theory. Additionally, I am training as a clay therapist and bring with into my practice previous experiences as a creative practitioner and  educator and an interest in the person as a whole.   

I have a particular interest in working with grief, loss and bereavement and have been developing my expertise by volunteering with a local bereavement support charity. I am further interested in relationships and relationship breakdown. 

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so we can see if we are the right match, and from there we can organise a first session together.

After the phone consultation and before our first meeting, I will send you a copy of a therapy agreement so you can familiarise yourself with it and you can ask me any questions before you sign it. 

I provide therapy online, or in person at a clinic in Kingston or in Guildford.
