WPA Counselling in Guildford

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 often debilitating 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.

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 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 am a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in supporting individuals through difficult emotions and experiences, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. We all experience challenging periods in our lives; therapy can offer a safe space to work through these difficulties and support you to develop effective coping strategies to help you move forward. My role is to help you identify the barriers that are keeping you stuck and look at these from a different perspective to enable you to overcome them. The aim of therapy is to equip you with the the knowledge, tools and techniques so that you no longer need me!

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience, specialising in anxiety, stress, burnout, self-esteem, relationship problems, depression and parenting.

Something is standing in the way of you living the life you want to lead. You may feel tired of the way that you are living or feeling - completely 'full up'. This could be showing up as burnout from personal or professional commitments, in relationship problems that are following a familiar pattern, or in seeming outwardly successful but feeling the opposite on the inside. You may find it difficult to identify and say what you need, or experience outbursts of anxiety or rage. Your inner critic may take a walk on the wild side too often.

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.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, or major life changes? Perhaps you find yourself pulled into unhealthy relationship patterns, or feel like you can't connect fully with others? These are common difficulties I work with. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC & BPS. I use a compassionate, evidence-based approach to helping individuals identify the changes they’d like to make and to learn new skills for dealing with difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I work with adults and adolescents aged 16+

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.
