Aviva Counselling in Guildford

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist in Guildford & East Molesey, offering services to adults (17yrs+). Qualifying in 1992 I have extensive experience with general psychological issues & specialist experience working in sexual & physical health services. I am passionate about helping people to make sense of their difficulties so they can work towards valued and meaningful changes.

I work using Zoom which allows you to access counselling from your own environment. This cuts out travelling time and may fit into a busy schedule. Even so, I recommend that you allow at least 15 minutes after sessions to think through what we have talked about. There is a need for you to create privacy so that we can speak freely and you are able to gain the most you can from the work we do together. Over the past seventeen years as a qualified counsellor I have helped clients with depression, addiction, codependency, anxiety, recovery from harmful relationships, bereavement and loss, trauma, family dynamics and workplace stress.

I work with young people and adults who are seeking psychological therapy because they feel stuck. Day to day life can feel challenging and can stop us from living life how we want to live, being the kind of person we want to be. Often our minds get caught up in ways of thinking, or we get stuck in certain feelings. I work with individuals who are looking to further their understanding of this and find ways of getting unstuck and moving forward.

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 clinical psychotherapist specialising in women’s mental health and adolescents, individually and through groups.

I am BACP and UKCP accredited, having completed a PhD and MSc at the University of Roehampton, alongside BI DBT Intensive Training and MBCT Training. I have a wealth of experience in NHS, forensic and private settings, including the Priory Group, and work alongside psychiatrists and mental health teams in Surrey and London.

As a Counselling and Health Psychologist, I work mostly with adult clients including those suffering from the adverse effects of negative, toxic or traumatic life experiences, events or relationships; those experiencing distressing and often debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD or other mental health conditions and those struggling with the diagnosis, treatment or consequences of cancer or other medical conditions. The approach taken in therapy will depend on the specific needs of the individual client, taking into account practical considerations such as cost and time constraints.

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.

Have you always felt different or had trouble fitting in? Perhaps you're thinking that you might have Autism/ASD, ADHD or Tics/Tourette’s or possibly a learning disability. Would you like an assessment for yourself or your child to confirm this? Or maybe you have been newly diagnosed or have traits of ASD, ADHD or Tourette’s and are looking for further information and support. I, and my small team of expert psychologists at Neurodiverseonline, offer diagnostic assessments for adults and children with Autism/ASD, ADHD, Tourette's/Tics and cognitive assessments (IQ tests) / learning disability assessments.

When you are struggling with your health, it can feel like no one understands. It's frightening to think about how much your life has changed and whether or not things can be the same again. It can even feel like you are grieving for your former self like you would the loss of a loved one. You might be struggling to connect with the things and people that matter to you most in life and no matter what you try, like life is not heading in the direction you want it to.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, working with high achievers who struggle with high functioning anxiety, self-confidence and self-esteem, burnout, stress, and relationship difficulties. If on the surface you look like you have it all together, but the silent voice of self-doubt plagues you, then we will likely work well together. I am what I call a 'why person' and like to work with the heart of a matter, rather than treat symptoms at a surface level. I work with both adolescents and adults, and have over 12 years experience.

My ideal client is able to reflect on their emotions and what's happened to them in their lives and relationships. They have the time and space to give to this. They have some motivation to change and can take some responsibility for the work we do together. We would work together to explore what they need and identify personal goals, this may change over the course of therapy.

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.
