I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting women through life’s most significant transitions. I specialise in fertility challenges, pregnancy, birth, motherhood, hormonal mood disorders, and perimenopause. These stages can feel overwhelming, isolating, or unexpectedly difficult. I offer a warm, compassionate, evidence-based space to explore anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, identity changes, and relationship strain. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each woman’s needs, helping you build resilience, clarity, and emotional wellbeing. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Hi! How are you? My name is Susanne and I'm an integrative counsellor. I believe we are creatures of habit – this helps us navigate life. Sometimes, though, life throws profound changes at us: bereavement, illness, low mood and anxiety or relationship problems. If this happens, familiar patterns can guide us – or they may get in the way of finding out what lies beneath our distress. I can help you see what's happening in your life and make sense of it. And change, if you want to.

If you're feeling stuck—trapped in anxiety, perfectionism, or the impact of past trauma—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it without support. I work with adults navigating OCD, GAD, health anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, specific phobias and PTSD. Using trauma-informed, culturally sensitive CBT—including ACT and mindfulness—we’ll gently untangle patterns, build emotional resilience, and create space for calm. My approach is compassionate, steady, and grounded in evidence-based care that honours your story and helps you move forward.

Hello, I am Tina and I understand how challenging life can be especially if we have others relying on us, be it family, friends or colleagues. Life events can trigger changes to our relationships or career, leaving us feeling lost, perhaps your past is still defining you, or maybe life hasn’t turned out the way you had hoped. Sometimes we just lose ourselves and our direction. It can be difficult to share these feelings with family and friends - this is where I can offer you a warm, non-judgmental, safe space to explore and navigate any issues you are experiencing.

I work integratively, drawing on person-centred, CBT and Solution Focused therapy approaches to help you make sense of your experience and move toward lasting change.

If you feel overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that don’t shift, therapy can help you understand and change what isn’t working. Dual-accredited psychotherapist, online and in person in Guildford. People often come to therapy when something in their emotional life or relationships feels hard to manage. You might feel overwhelmed or reactive, stuck in patterns that don’t shift, struggling with self-criticism, or finding that anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties keep returning despite effort or insight. Many people I work with are functioning well on the outside but struggling internally, or unsure where to begin.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
