Julia Haygreen, Counsellor and Psychotherapist in W.Byfleet and Dorking, Surrey
About me
Julia Haygreen, BA (Hons) Counselling, FdSc Degree Counselling, Diploma Counselling, MBACP (Accred), Clinical Counselling Supervisor
At times when you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, alone and finding life difficult, counselling can be helpful. I am here to support you.
Connection and communication with others is an essential part of life, particularly at times of difficulty, crisis, heightened anxiety and isolation. It is human nature to grow and develop by relating to other people, in personal or professional relationships or through shared interests or experiences. When this becomes difficult to do, when something in life changes, when you feel isolated or withdrawn and don't know how to get back on track, I am here to help. I will offer support, clarity, gentle guidance and an impartial ear to listen as you work towards gradually feeling more connected with yourself and others. Within this safe and supportive relationship, we work together to create positive change in your life.
I can support you to, among others;
Work through present difficulties
Focus on a specific issue, crisis point or experience in your life
Connect with and identify your feelings
Manage difficult feelings such as anger, guilt or shame
Address difficult or challenging relationships
Make relationship decisions
Understand yourself better
Repair old and familiar patterns that are no longer working or perhaps never made you truly happy
Heal from past experiences and trauma
Discover the unknown about yourself
Accept parts you may be less comfortable with because they make you human and whole
Increase self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence
Develop a positive outlook
Embrace new opportunities
Feel free from people-pleasing
Build ways to better self-care
Experience deeper relationships with yourself and others which feel more genuine and fulfilling
As a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer a safe, private and accepting space for you to talk things through. Talking with me separately from your friends or family and feeling emotionally safe and understood may help you to open up more because I will not judge or give advice. Our time together will involve me helping you to work through your experiences and become more aware of your feelings, behaviours and thoughts. Together we will look at how to develop self awareness and self acceptance and to find your own voice when relating and communicating with others, which will enable you to move forward.
Certain counselling styles suit some people differently to others, so I draw from a range of approaches to provide the right support to meet your individual needs. With my support and gentle guidance, these are all possible;
Healing from old wounds
Freedom from the past
Recovery from unhelpful patterns
A new outlook
Healthy connection with your feelings
Improved relationships
Reaching your goals
A better, happier way of living

Lead to old, harmful feelings being replaced by new, positive emotions

Trainee Counsellors
I have extensive experience supporting students with personal therapy during counselling training. 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.
As training material may arise within or alongside your own therapeutic experience, I am mindful of maintaining a safe and boundaried space. Therefore, I work with minimal numbers of counselling students across a range of training institutions so that I can support your counselling process wholly impartially and without outside influence.
Concessions are available for trainee counsellors, please contact me for details.

Member organisations
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
