Humanistic Counselling in Esher

Hi. If you’re here you might be ready to start talking to someone. It can be very daunting opening up and knowing who to talk to. I am a humanistic therapist who focusses on helping people with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and attachment issues, family, trauma, grief, confidence, and self-esteem, although not limited to these areas. Everyone is different and I treat everyone on a case by case basis to build a personal and trusting relationship.

Life can be a struggle challenging and confusing. Sometimes it can be difficult to talk openly to the people in your life. As an experienced psychotherapist I provide a safe, confidential space to explore whatever is on your mind. I can support you in finding your way through the difficulties you’re experiencing, or have experienced in the past, in a way that feels right for you, and at a pace that feels comfortable. We can work together to make sense of what you’re thinking, feeling and going through, allowing you to develop a sense of healing, establish goals and grow towards them, and gain a greater understanding of yourself.

Hello and welcome to my page, My name is Aude and I am a BACP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Transformational Coach. I aim to offer a safe and calm approach rooted in compassion and understanding to fit your needs, challenges and concerns. As a multi-disciplinary therapist for adults and young people (from 11y old), my approach incorporates humanistic, person-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness, life coaching, and CBT modalities, depending on my client's individual needs.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Hi, I'm Ann, an experienced, qualified and BACP accredited integrative psychotherapist and supervisor, working in Esher and Bank EC2. I offer an empathic, collaborative and individualised approach to therapy, to help you gain perspective and make sense of the challenges you are facing. As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different psycho-therapeutic models to find the best approach for you, to help equip you to move forward in life with greater ease, and give you greater potential for further positive change.

Whether you are an adolescent, adult, sports person or busy executive there are some common themes that resonate with my clients: Finding it hard to make decisions - fear of getting it wrong and constantly worrying/Being less tolerant, irritable over things that wouldn't normally bother you/Needing to do everything perfectly and setting high unrealistic expectations resulting in procrastination/Never feeling you have done enough/A very critical internal voice - Exhausting! Most of my clients want to quieten that negative voice and find ways to achieve and live life without the gnawing anxiety and self-doubt

Sometimes when life feels overwhelming, it can be helpful to talk to somebody, but it can be hard to know where to start. You may have feelings of anxiety, depression, loss, guilt, low self-worth or a general feeling of being stuck and not quite sure why. Allowing yourself time to stop and express what you are feeling in a neutral environment can help bring clarity and balance back to your life. I offer a non-judgemental, supportive and confidential space where we can start to unpick and explore some of your underlying issues, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your world.

Sex is a natural, normal and enjoyable part of our lives but sometimes it can become something that feels out of control, damaging and destructive. Some people find themselves addicted to porn, watching it for hours every day, and as a result their work and their relationships suffer. Others become addicted to having sex with strangers or with escorts. They may find themselves spending huge amounts of money, putting themselves and their partners at risk of sexually transmitted diseases and damaging their relationships. When sex feels like it has become out of control, then it is time to seek help.

Located next to Surbiton mainline train station. I have appointments available during the day, evenings and weekends. I offer both one to one counselling and couples counselling.

I have been in private practice for over 10 years. I gained extensive experience working in various setting such as Rape and Sexual Abuse centre in Guildford, GP surgery and a Drug and Alcohol charity. Working in these settings increased my knowledge and understanding with working with a variety of mental health issues around trauma, depression, anxiety and addictions. I have a particular interest in working with abuse (childhood, emotional and physical) and issues around relationship difficulties particularly toxic relationships. I offer both long and short term therapy depending on your specific needs.

Seeking therapy may feel like a step into the unknown. I believe it is a respite; a place to re-make a connection with yourself. It can be a safe space to bring difficult emotions and to find some understanding and perhaps discover a way to move forward. It is a different experience for everyone. Your unique life will shape how it works.

If you are a woman seeking to feel safe with a therapist, my goal is to provide you with a feeling of trust and security. You may feel this sense of safety in our first session, or it may take many sessions to build. I believe that when you are relaxed, open and comfortable, that is when the most fruitful work can take place. You may be struggling with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, childhood issues, self-harm or suicidal thoughts; or perhaps you aren't sure how to put into words what you're going through, you just know that you need to speak to someone.

Most of us, at some time or another, will experience difficulties with our thoughts, feelings, behaviour or relationships. Some of us might experience physical symptoms for which our GP can find no organic cause. Almost all of us want to get the most out of life. This is where I can help. I am a Senior Consultant Counselling Psychologist Specialising in Psychotherapy. I am Chartered by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and Registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Hello parents and carers, being a parent can be challenging at times, particularly when you are worried about your child's mental health and well-being. Your child might be having issues with low self-esteem or low confidence levels? Perhaps they are presenting as more anxious than usual or displaying behaviours which you find challenging? Your child might be experiencing difficulties with friendships at school, or as a family you may be finding relationships with each other to be fraught. Play therapy offers a confidential space for your child to work through their issues using creative arts, toys, games and play.

Hello! My goal is to help my clients through their life challenges and empower them to live a more fulfilled life. Anxiety, low mood... bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma ... we all carry emotional bagage but sometimes, we need to find space and time to work through it so that we can free ourselves from the chains that are holding us back. As a therapist, I believe in kindness - a warm and compassionate ear - validation and no judgement. But I also believe that sometimes, my role is to challenge your perspective so that you can see those self defeating patterns and make the changes that you want to make for yourself.

There are many reasons why someone might seek therapy. You might want to explore a particular issue, understand yourself better, or you might have a more general sense of feeling anxious, stuck, depressed or dissatisfied. Sometimes, it is hard to find the words for how we feel and to understand why we feel a particular way. Being heard and understood by a professional can be a first step towards relief and lasting change.

You may be asked the question "How are you?" many times, but how often have you been able to respond to that question truthfully? You may hold back your emotions and feel anxious, confused and overwhelmed by life difficulties. You may feel that you cannot share what is inside you for fear of being judged, misunderstood or simply you cannot trust people around you. It may feel safer to reply: "I am ok!" and life goes on without giving a voice to your deep needs. My aim is to offer you a warm and non judgemental space where together we can explore the source of your emotional difficulties. Your emotional wellbeing is my priority.

Life can be complicated and present challenges which may feel too difficult to navigate alone. Sometimes, we could all do with some support and I hope that I am able to help you if you are feeling like this. As your therapist, I will not give you advice or tell you what to do. I am here to facilitate the space and together we will explore your inner thoughts and emotions, so that you feel empowered to change was isn’t working for you. Exploration in counselling can be incredibly powerful and it can also be very challenging. I am here to listen, we will work at your own pace and I will support you every step of the way.
