Kay Wnekowski BA Hons |  |
Counsellor ProfileI am a member of the BACP and hold a Degree and Diploma in Transactional Analysis Counselling. Over the last seven years I have accrued experience working both within private practice and within an NHS setting.
I would describe myself as an Integrative and pragmatic counsellor, implementing cutting edge ways of working therapeutically and helping clients to resolve their issues in the quickest time frame possible. My tool kit comprises of Transactional Analysis ( a fantastic tool that will help you understand your personality, the way you communicate and relate, the decisions and beliefs you decided upon in childhood and provide you with choice and an easy to understand new framework for the future. I also draw upon my experience with C.B.T, Motivational Interveiwing, Brief Solutions focused therapy, NLP and EFT.
I work with my clients to establish a great working relationship in which they will feel supported, heard, encouraged and confident in their ability to resolve their issues. My aim is to help my clients reach their full potential, build self esteem and gain mastery over the aspects of their lives that are not currently working.
In describing my counselling style, I am warm, honest, open, caring, positive and committed to helping coach my clients to achieve their very best therapeutic outcomes. Needless to say, I also have a good sense of humour which brings a lightness at times to the work I do.
My areas of specialist knowledge are: addiction, relationship issues,anger management, trauma, work related problems, self development, self esteem, depression and anxiety but my experience is both broad and deep.
I have a private practise in Bagshot, Surrey, where I have a consulting room with seperate entrance, WC and dedicated phone line.
Bagshot is easily accessed by train and has a mainline railway station. In addition, my practise is only located five minutes from Junction 3 of the M3 Motorway.
I would describe my consulting room as light, airy, very comfortable and cosy, with fresh flowers and a relaxing appeal.

Extra InformationTestimonials (printed with kind permission)
" You have been the most positive person I have ever met. Words can never be enough to show how thankful I am to you for everything you have done for me. No one has ever believed in me or understood me like you have"
Client L
"Thankyou for putting the sunshine back in my life."
Client D
"Thankyou from my heart for your guidance and wisdom. My time spent with you has given me a totally new and wholly positive outlook on my life."
Client J
"Kay tapped into my needs straight away. With her guidance and help I have taken back control of my life. I have learned to be strong, confident and assertive and I use the life skills I learned every day."
Client K
"From the first conversation with Kay I felt immediately at ease. I heard a caring, warm and confident person that I could connect with, something I find quite difficult to do on a private level. After 6months of attending counselling my belief that 'life is hard' has now changed to 'life is a challenge and you can only embrace it !' I now find that I have more realistic goals both short and long term, so thank you Kay for coaching me back onto the road of life!'
"Thank you again for all your support, kindness and generosity over the last year and months. You went way beyond the call of duty and I really appreciate everything."
CL J
"I feel extremely lucky to have found Kay. When we first met, I hated the word "counselling." But, over a period of time, Kay helped me to develop my inner confidence and re-write my negative beliefs created in my childhood. Not only that; Kay helped me to become much healthier by advising on better eating. Now, I get up earlier, eat well, exercise reguarly and have much more energy to work harder at my job. Thank you Kay."
CL C
"I found Kay to be an extremely positive person with an enthusiasm for life which rubs off. After my sessions with her, I felt better equipped with lasting advice and techniques to cope with events and feelings."
CL B
"Having benefited from counselling in the past, I was confident that it would work again for me. The difference this time was Kay's approach- right from the start she provided me with a huge support structure and the tools to work through my problems but most importantly she made me feel that what I was feeling was important, she listened and respected me, never patronised me and has helped me move forward far quicker than I imagined. With Kay's help and expertise, I feel like 'me' again and I can give no greater compliment than that."
