Elders (65+) Counselling in Guildford

Hi my name is Sammy and I am a qualified and accredited Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and the ACC (Association for Christians in Counselling and Psychotherapy). I understand that life can be challenging and even overwhelming at times, however the fact that you are here shows that you have taken a huge step in taking back control of your life. Finding the right counsellor is essential to your therapeutic journey. Life can be tough, but with the right support, I know that you can overcome your challenges and reach your full potential.

Hello, I’m Helen. I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I have a lot of experience of working with people to overcome difficulties they may be encountering. We all experience times in our lives when things can feel too much, or we may become ‘stuck’. By talking together in therapy we can work to understand the problems you are facing, and develop skills to support you moving forward.

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.....

I have been providing a professional counselling service for over 20 y'rs, & having had a rich experience of life & the challenges it can bring to bear on mental health, I have some insight as to what many of us go through. Counselling is like any other relationship it needs to be built on trust & respect without fear of challenge. I will try my hardest to help you navigate the relationships, challenges & trauma that life presents. The complexities of your life are unique to you & together we can find the answers & unearth what is right for you, helping you to learn to work through, & ultimately what is causing you difficulties.

I work with adults (16 plus), presenting with various problems such as anxiety, depression, berevement, ADHD, and relationship difficulties.

If you are experiencing symptoms associated with BPD/EUPD, I can also offer dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). This will include individual sessions, in addition to a skills training element.

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.

I work primarily as an Integrative Psychotherapist but also am an accredited DBT therapist. Loosely translated this means I use various theories and approaches to help my clients dependent on their needs. I have over 10 years experience within mental health and continue to work within a specialist personality disorder and trauma service in the NHS providing Dialectical, Cognitive and Mentalization Behaviour Therapy (DBT, CBT, MBT).

In an ever-changing and uncertain world, counselling is an opportunity to take stock and reflect on how life feels for you. No matter what your concern might be, I can give you a safe place to explore your unique take on life. Difficult thoughts and feelings can be listened to respectfully and without fear of being judged. Whether you're feeling anxious, unfulfilled or unable to cope - you don't have to face your struggle alone. Talking things through can lighten the emotional load, restore perspective and bring positive change.
