Donna Curtis MBACP

Profile

My aim is to Listen, not to Judge. Being truly heard can make a whole world of difference.

Consultations rooms are located in Horsham, West Sussex, and Dorking, Surrey.

Clients, whether individuals, couples for counselling, or young people, who come along for some counselling time, often find it can provide a safe, and supportive space, whether for longer term work or a short term basis. Often with a bit of space we can develop a clearer understanding of struggles, difficulties and identify choices.

I offer flexible, mutually agreeable session arrangements in both the Dorking and Horsham areas.

Working together usually includes face to face counselling, although support via Skype, or telephone, can also be made available. Feel free to call text or email me with any queries or concerns.

Stressful lives, often leave us feeling angry and frustrated, without knowing how to get what we need, let alone what we may want. Anger management, is a familiar term, though knowing what the angry feelings are trying to let us know is key, before trying out ways to mange the anger.

Misunderstanding, and confusion around depressive feelings, anger and frustration can be responsible for leaving us with and creating a whole host of other emotive and physical difficulties.

I work with a variety of clients, from all walks of life. Both privately and as part of funded contracts with public sector organisations, which mostly involves working with those who have experienced depression, abusive / violent relationships, and who may struggle with parenting.

I have extensive experience of designing, managing and delivering therapeutically based support programmes for adult individuals, young people and families.

I was one of four counsellors who developed the new online counselling service 'Beatbullying' an organisation delivering on-line counselling support to children, young people and adults who are struggling with face to face bullying and/ or the various forms of Cyberbullying.

I also run Dance movement / Body awareness dance classes, in the Surrey area. These classes provide an opportunity for exploration of any psychosomatic symptoms, whilst also promoting over all well-being, a sense of fun, playfulness and fitness.

Due to the pace of life for many people, in addition to face to face counselling, I currently offer counselling support via email, Skype and by way of telephone.
