Trusted Counselling Services in Woking
With over 25 years of dedicated experience in counselling, I have established a private practice rooted in a humanistic, person-centred approach. My sessions, conducted in a tranquil garden room in Old Woking, prioritise compassionate understanding and evidence-based theoretical frameworks. I specialise in supporting individuals, couples, and young people through challenges such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life crises, integrating techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Gestalt. My practice is guided by the belief that clients are the experts of their own lives, requiring a trusting environment to foster growth.I maintain rigorous professional standards through continuous education, regular supervision, and adherence to the BACP Code of Ethics. My flexible availability includes daytimes, evenings, and Saturday mornings, with options for home visits to accommodate accessibility needs. I am committed to providing a confidential, client-focused service that empowers individuals to harness their own resources for meaningful change.
