Counselling in Guildford

Hello, my name is Christopher Jarrold. I am a qualified and BABCP (British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies) Accredited High-Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist at www.cjcbt.com. My goal is to provide high-quality research-informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy so you can understand your difficulties through the science of CBT. In doing so we can reverse thinking patterns and behaviours that are keeping you stuck, and work together to get you back on track.

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, Play Therapist and Mental Health Nurse. I have a wealth of experience working with children, adolescents, families and adults. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings within the NHS in therapist roles. These included child and adolescent mental health teams, and several specialist eating disorders services. I specialise in treating eating disorders, depression, anxiety, emotional and behavioural problems. As a CBT therapist I aim to help people to identify their unhealthy thoughts and behaviours, and collaboratively work together to challenge these and bring about change

Whatever you are feeling now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Life can be tricky sometimes and you may think that people can't understand you because of what you are going through. Sometimes you need someone to listen to you, to help you to understand what is actually happening. I can help you to walk through this journey, to find a way to a safe place which respects your values and beliefs. You can talk about any issues that bother you and explore your emotions without judgment. I have 19 years of training and experience in a broad range of topics in psychotherapy counselling and educational therapy.

I am passionate about helping people and mental health. Sometimes it can be difficult to identify why we are feeling the way we are or understand what it is we are feeling, simply talking to a therapist can help us gain better insight into what is going on for us and bring about clarity.

We can all have difficulties in everyday life and encounter problems that we simply find hard to cope with alone. You may feel worried, anxious, low, confused, isolated or may be experience difficulties in relationships. You may be suffering from feelings of low self esteem or low self confidence. You may have been diagnosed with anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, depression, or maybe you are just feeling sad. When these feelings and thoughts persist and become overwhelming it may be difficult to know which way to turn.

I am a Highly Specialist Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with the BPS & accredited by the HCPC. With more than 23 years of experience, I bring a diverse knowledge base & toolbox of skills & strategies that I draw from; to help tailor sessions to suit my client’s personality & struggles. I deliver bespoke therapy and work at my client's pace.

Core Process Psychotherapy is the original Mindfulness based Psychotherapy in the UK. It works through integrating ancient eastern understanding into the nature of the mind and body with modern, western psychology.

I am a person centred, systemic, psychodynamic counsellor and Relate trained in relationship counselling. I help people with anxiety, depression, low mood and loneliness, self harm, eating issues, retirement, parenting, separation and the way they relate to others. Couples come to me to work through their underlying issues, patterns of conflict, communication challenges, parental differences, feelings about roles and responsibilities, beliefs from childhood or difficult life obstacles. Individuals face these issues too and also seek support on how to stay or if it is time to leave.

Having spent over a decade working in the health and fitness industry prior to training as a psychologist, I have a particular interest in issues relating to the body, including weight, eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, and pain. I have extensive experience working with people in larger bodies and am an advocate of health at every size and body diversity. I also have a strong interest in LGBTQ+ issues and am experienced in working with clients who struggle with a range of other difficulties including anxiety, depression, loneliness, bereavement and life transitions. I am able to support adults and young people aged sixteen +.

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist practising in Guildford, Haslemere, Putney, West London and Private Practice.

I hold up-to-date Enhanced Disclosure (DBS) for working with the very vulnerable and continue to develop my skills while I undertake a further MSc in Neuroscience.

I am a qualified Senior Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years experience of treating adults with mental health difficulties, across a range of NHS, charity and private services. Reaching out for mental health support can feel daunting, and I therefore offer a warm and compassionate approach to treatment. I will work together with you to help make sense of your challenges and develop a tailored treatment approach to meet your needs and improve your quality of life.

Sometimes relationships can seem such a struggle. Difficulties with trust and commitment, the arrival of children, redundancy, ill-health, infidelity, 'empty nest' syndrome, retirement, bereavement - these can all pose significant challenges to our ability to form and maintain a loving, emotionally fulfilling connection. Maybe you are at a crisis point, feel stuck, or are trying to work out whether or not to separate? You might be unhappy with your sexual relationship. If you feel like you need some help, I will listen and support without judgement, and can offer you counselling that is professional, sensitive and confidential.

I am qualified as an integrative counsellor and my busy private practice reflects a broad range of clients and their issues. I work with people of all ages, from all backgrounds struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction and stress. I also have experience of clients with bereavement, loss, panic attacks, trauma, sex and pornography addiction, anger and eating disorders. I work with individuals and couples and favour a systemic approach looking at context, social environment and behaviour patterns as well as attachments from the past that impact the present.

Imagine that you could change your life. Taking the first steps to start counselling can be difficult and people come to counselling for many different reasons. You may be feeling anxious, hopeless, low-mood, in an abusive relationship or suffered from trauma. Whatever your challenges or difficulties are, I understand they are important for you. I will support you to tap into your unique strengths that can foster change and growth. I will provide you with a safe space that can support to you to live as our best authentic self.

My main aim in life has and always will be to help people find peace and joy in their lives. This can be very difficult to source when life today is so challenging. Whether it is financial worries, loss of a loved one, disability, illness, family issues, bullying, work pressure, trauma, (amongst others) all can induce stress, depression and anxiety. Besides a wealth of life experience, I have a degree in Integrative relationship counselling, which enables me to work in a way to suit each individual and their issues. We will work together at your pace to find a healing path.

Are you experiencing a difficult or challenging time in your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Whatever your reason for considering therapy and viewing my profile, it is often the case that we 'hit the wall' or 'crash' emotionally before we can identify that we may need professional support. When our usual coping mechanisms no longer work the struggle can be overwhelming. As your therapist I recognise this as your first and critical step toward positive change. You are, I'm sure, familiar with the phrase 'if you do what you've always done...you get what you've always got' and how true it is.....
