Kaleidoscope Counselling

A Therapeutic Setting to Serve You

 

It takes huge effort and courage to have sometimes difficult and uncomfortable conversations. Based in the Surrey Hills, I offer face to face therapy in a tranquil, private and confidential space at either the Eves in Farnham or Godalming. Alternatively, if you prefer, we can schedule Zoom sessions whereby you can remain in the comfort and security of your home. It may be you'd rather 'talk and walk' in which case the stunning countryside awaits.

Either way, the choice is yours.

 

Getting Started

 

As part of an initial assessment, we will explore the ways in which you may like to access therapy.  We will also consider the type and

length dependent upon your needs and tailor our approach to accommodate your best interests and availability.  

As a member of the professional governing body the BACP, I abide by their ethical guidelines to support your safety and confidentiality.

I am professionally insured.

Sessions are £85 for individuals, £150 for couples or families and last 50 minutes.

A Practice Founded on a Pluralistic Approach

 

This means we will work in a way suited to you. As an integrative counsellor I draw upon humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, existential and contemporary theories.

A love of learning means I remain research invigorated, ensuring I continue to work at the cutting edge of psychotherapeutic practice. 
Most importantly you will be seen, heard and valued.

​

Experience

 

I work with a range of complex and less complex issues within a variety of different therapeutic settings such as  offering long term therapy at a London Women's Centre as well as both short and long term counselling for a youth and young adult charity. 

There is no hierarchy of human suffering within my practice.  You may be a senior manager struggling with the loneliness of your role, a menopausal mum grieving for university bound children or the survivor of abuse suffering in silence.

Every client presents uniquely and as such is approached accordingly.

 

About Mental Health

 

One in four of us is affected by our mental health. Maybe it’s you, a family member, a friend or colleague? 

It is said depression doesn’t discriminate against those it inflicts but I challenge this. Developments in neuroscience and associated disciplines evidence how our embryonic and early life experiences impact on our ability to thrive. 
We tend to seek therapeutic help when we are angry, anxious, sad, lost, lonely, uncertain or confused

​

My Ethos

 

More than most professions, psychotherapy appears to be shrouded in mystery and underpinned by a multitude of interventions to support the healing process. Please rest assured I cannot read minds, nor do I presume to know you better than you know yourself.

The co-creation of our relationship is integral to the work ahead. The more real we are together the greater the probability for a positive therapeutic outcome. 

I am qualified as a personal trainer and sports massage therapist. I would sometimes say to clients “Hiring a personal trainer doesn’t mean you’re going to get fit, it's doing the work that counts”. In many ways, the same could be said of the therapeutic relationship, 

Collaboration and education lie at the heart of my practice.
