Teen Counselling in Guildford

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist working with children and families. I am currently offering gold standard assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorders/Conditions as part of a multi-disciplinary team in Guildford, Surrey. Over the past 10 years, I have worked in a range of clinical and educational settings for children, young people, and adults on the Autism Spectrum, including NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in Guildford, Reading, and London. I have published research investigating parents’ experiences of receiving an autism diagnosis for their child.

Hello. You're probably here because you are finding life difficult in some way. Life can be really hard, and it can sometimes feel even harder looking for support. As a therapist I love helping people with that by providing a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and work through some of these difficult things together. In therapy we do this through developing a 'therapeutic relationship'. This means that we commit to working together over a sustained period of time to understand and process what is going on, so that positive to change can begin to happen. This isn't always easy, but it's absolutely worth it.

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.

Are you finding it hard to cope at the moment, dealing with a crisis or significant change? Are you struggling to concentrate, feel tense and on edge? Maybe you feel disconnected from others and your relationships are suffering? Or are you an adult or teen experiencing anxiety or depression? Gaining insight into what may be driving the behaviours/patterns that are causing the problems in your life, will provide you with an opportunity to shift your mindset to live a more balanced life and improve the quality of your relationships.

Are you suffering from an eating disorder? Are you constantly feeling not good enough? Are your anxieties stopping you from living the life that you want? Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or burnt out? Are you a perfectionist with unrelenting standards and highly self-critical? Do you find yourself sabotaging your relationships? Whatever your circumstances, I am here to help. ‘Tutum' is a latin word which means 'safe'.​ I founded Tutum Psychology to provide a safe space for people to talk. The scientific literature has shown that feeling safe in your therapeutic relationship is important in order for therapy to be a success.

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.

Life will always present us with challenges and difficult situations. Sometimes these challenges can get on top of us and we stop living and enjoying our lives as fully as we would like. This is where counselling can be of help. Counselling is about offering a supportive relationship in a safe and confidential environment to talk through whatever is concerning them. Counselling is not about giving advice and counsellors can never be experts in other people’s lives. Counselling is about helping people find their unique strengths to work through a particular issue in the best way for them so that they can live a happy life.

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.....

Hello, my name is Ben and I am a Clinical Psychologist, Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Counsellor practising in Surrey (Guildford), Hampshire (Basingstoke) and also online via a secure, encrypted network.

Starting therapy can be daunting so it’s important that you identify a therapist and an approach to working that feels right for you. As an art psychotherapist, I am open, honest and inclusive with considerable experience supporting children, adolescents and young adults in schools and community settings. My approach to working is psychodynamic - I’m interested in how past events may have affected you, both consciously and unconsciously, influencing the way you think, feel and behave. Should talking about your experiences be too difficult, I may encourage you to try different creative techniques as an alternate means of expression.

Hello and welcome to my page, My name is Aude and I am a BACP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Neuro-linguistic programming Coaching Practitioner. I aim to offer a safe and calm approach rooted in compassion and understanding to fit your needs, challenges and concerns. As an integrative counsellor for adults and young people (min 11y old), my approach incorporates humanistic, person-centred, psychodynamic, mindfulness, life coaching, and CBT modalities, which are tailored to my client's individual needs.

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.

I am a Counsellor, Psychotherapist, trauma therapist and EMDR practitioner. I am registered and accredited member of the BACP. My primary way of working aims to work with the individual as a whole, through helping the client understand their thought and emotional processes. I work on the basis that each individual is able to direct themselves through their difficulties in the best way for them, and that my work is to help deepen their self-exploration and exploration of their difficulties so that clients are better equipped to navigate through their difficulties.

Counselling is my passion and I look to provide a safe, private space for you to be heard when no one else is listening.

You are brave to get this far, I am here to help you go further; to become strong in your mental and emotional health. I believe that when pain we carry is faced in counselling, with insight, gentleness and compassion, healing comes. Healing then releases energy which enables you to be and to live well. Many people survive through not just childhood, but large junks of their lives and need to re-learn how to thrive instead. At times your true self and needs are so removed from your focus that functioning on a daily basis isan uphill challenge as you carry anxiety, depression, PTSD or battle negative feelings or feel misunderstood.

You may be feeling low, depressed, anxious, angry or experience bereavement or grief. This can feel overwhelming and leave you needing some support and you may find at this time counselling could help. My approach is warm, emphatic, and confidential giving you an opportunity to feel heard and supported. I understand how hard it is to make that first contact and to talk about what is troubling you and I aim to make that first conversation as comfortable as possible.
