About me

Julia Haygreen, BA (Hons) Counselling, FdSc Degree Counselling, Diploma Counselling, MBACP (Snr Accredited), Clinical Counselling Supervisor

Private and personalised Counselling, Psychotherapy and Supervision in Surrey, online, nationwide and international. Person-centred, Psychodynamic, CBT techniques and relational therapy. I am an experienced professional with a passion for helping people and a proven track-record of achieving results. 
Call or email me now to arrange a free, confidential, introductory call to talk about how I can help you:

07855 033993 / thecounsellingallianceltd@gmail.com

You have decided to make some positive changes in your life and had the courage to reach out for support. Contacting me could be the starting point for healing and moving forward. 

Do you wish you could feel less low or anxious?
Would you like help to manage strong emotions like anger, sadness, frustration and disappointment? 
Do you wonder if you will ever get over grief or another kind of loss or a break-up?
Have you experienced a traumatic event that is difficult to process and come to terms with? 
Does it feel like past events are affecting how you cope with life today?
Do you find it difficult to make decisions and know which direction to take?
Are there difficulties at work and you wonder how to handle them? 
Is your relationship under strain, something has happened or it just doesn't feel right?
 
These are just some of the things I can help you with. I help people recover from many different and difficult life experiences so they can move forward and lead happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives. 

Working With Me
 
I can help you develop resilience and personal growth and a sense of choice and control about how you move forward. We will discover your goals and review our work frequently to ensure it meets your needs and expectations.

Meeting online means you can access support from the comfort of wherever you are. Online counselling is an ideal way for many people to seek confidential and professional support and is an effective way of achieving results. Online counselling via video meetings means we can see and talk to each other as we work together. I use a secure and encrypted video platform for all counselling sessions. I am also happy to meet on Facetime or WhatsApp if that is easier for you to access.  

Whilst it can feel daunting to share things for the first time, you may find a sense of relief by getting things off your chest. We will work at a pace which feels safe and comfortable enough for you. I will also challenge and prompt where needed and make observations and reflections to encourage links, insights, and ‘lightbulb’ moments. This can help you understand yourself more, become self-aware and develop a better relationship with yourself and others around you. When you open up and let another person really see you, the transformation starts in how you see yourself and how you relate to others.

Trainee Counsellors:

I have extensive experience supporting students during their counselling training and I have supervised and developed the practice of counsellors as they enter private practice.

I provide a safe, trusting and wholly empathic space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences both past and present. Working through transferences as they arise within our therapeutic relationship will help you become more aware of the impact of past experiences and relationships on your life today. Being able to explore this openly, honestly, with curiosity and genuineness and without judgement is a fundamental relational aspect of the way I work.

Concessions are available for trainee counsellors at £70 per 50-minute session, fixed for the duration of your training which protects you from any interim fee increases until you have completed your training and are qualified

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
