Counselling in Farnham

It is completely understandable that taking that first step to seeing a counsellor can feel daunting, which is why my holding of your emotions starts from the second we speak. I am a Humanistic counsellor using mainly the Person-centred approach. This type of counselling means we work with what’s going on for you in the ‘here and now’ but not neglecting, nor dismissing, the fact that we are made up of our life’s past experiences.

Addiction, mental health issues and distress, at some point in life we can all suffer from any of these issues. You are not alone, and you don't have to suffer needlessly. Like many people I've faced my own fair share of these problems and found myself engaging in therapy that changed my life. I believe that everybody can obtain long-term happiness through the self-awareness that therapy offers. We can often tell ourselves that we are different, broken some how, that therapy won't work. However, there is light at the end of every tunnel and together we can take that journey to over-come any issues and create a life of possibilities.

We all have our reasons for considering counselling. Perhaps you want something to change, or maybe to understand certain things better. Perhaps you are simply curious. Whatever drew you to this site, my belief is that if it brought you here then it's important, and counselling offers a space to explore that, so that you can move forward in whichever way you would like. I have worked with many issues including anxiety, low mood, relationships, academic and job challenges, loss, identity - that who I am and what is life about? I am also experienced in working with being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world and menopause.

People choose to come to counselling for lots of different reasons. Having had counselling myself, I know how daunting it can be. Like you, I have experienced my own personal challenges. I have always loved working with people and prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I have worked in the criminal justice sector. This led me to delivering therapeutic group work, and later to counselling in prison where I worked with clients with traumatic histories. I have worked with anxiety, depression, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, addictions, relationship and attachment challenges, and mental health diagnosis.

I have an interest in how patterns in thinking and behaviour may be linked to the past, recognising that it can be helpful to look at the past to understand our present. I want all clients to feel heard, valued and understood – supporting clients to explore their perspectives and empowering them to experience change.

Do you or your child/young person experience anxiety? Do you repeatedly check that things are closed or switched off before you can leave the house? Do you strive for perfection but always feel not good enough? Or are you lacking in motivation and/or feeling low? If so, I am here to help! As a Clinical Psychologist, I am passionate about supporting my clients to overcome difficult emotions in order to live life in line with their dreams and values.

As a Clinical Psychologist I offer treatment for a range of presenting difficulties including anxiety, depression and trauma. I specialise in working with parents, parents-to-be and those trying to conceive. I also have further training and experience in working with conception and pregnancy after loss. I work closely with my clients to build a true understanding of their story and what has brought them to therapy. This enables me to develop individualised treatment plans grounded in the evidence base.

I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist with extensive experience with a wide range of client issues including bereavement, self-esteem, shame, guilt and relationship issues to name but a few. I believe passionately that every person is unique and individual. Life can at times be difficult and confusing; a single major event or a number of events can affect our internal equilibrium and affect quality of life. I offer a warm, empathic, safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings and issues. As a native speaker of Spanish I offer Spanish speaking therapy for the Hispanic community.

I work with adults and adolescents and my aim is to provide a warm safe space to help and empower you to find solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways to cope with your problems. I work with young people and adults to help you to navigate life’s challenges, we all have moments where we need additional support, I can offer a warm, compassionate and empathetic understanding of the distress you may be experiencing, I can help you with depression, anxiety, anger, social anxiety, ODC symptoms, low self-esteem or just support you through a challenging time.

Choosing a therapist can raise lots of questions and concerns. This is why I offer a free half hour online introductory session so that we can discuss your needs further and you can decide whether you think you would like to work with me. I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist and counsellor who's committed to helping my clients make the changes they want to see in their life and relationships. I do this by paying attention to you as an individual and using the theories and interventions that I believe will best support you in where you want to be.

I am aware that many people communicate on a very superficial level, frightened they may be judged, won’t be liked, or don’t fit in. I fully believe we all deserve to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. By talking with me, I hope you will discover your full and true potential, which may enable you to make healthier choices and create positive changes. I am passionate about my work and consider it both a responsibility and a privilege to be actively engaged in my client’s exploration of their life and I offer you my full commitment and dedication

I believe that strength comes from within, and that we all have the ability to change given the right conditions and motivation. Reflection and a better understanding of ourselves in relation to others, are essential tools in making changes however small or large. Everyone is unique and I work on the principle that "you are the expert on you " but at times of distress or difficulty, you may lose sight of this. This is where counselling can help you to achieve a more positive outlook and a greater understanding.
