About us

Seeking counselling may seem daunting but we are hear to support clients without judgment and to listen to your difficulties such as stress, anger, depression, anxiety including generalised anxiety disorder,  feelings of panic, relationship breakdown, divorce, phobias, fears, bereavement, low confidence and low self-esteem? Counselling offers a space to discuss your concerns and difficulties with a counsellor who can listen without judgement, supporting you in working through difficult issues and finding your solutions.

When seeing clients in person we are based in Reigate and easily accessible from Redhill, Horley, Dorking and surrounding areas and can offer day and evening appointments.

The majority of our appointments are in person but can  are offer remote sessions online or by telephone. We see adults 18 years and over but not couples at this time.

Most of us at some point, feel overwhelmed by past or present events and may feel that there is no one to really talk to who can truly listen, without judgement. Counselling offers a safe place where you will be given the time and space to be heard in confidence and reach a better understanding about yourself and your relationships and develop strategies to cope better.

Counselling is available for most issues including depression, anger, anxiety, abuse, family stresses, relationship problems both personal and in the workplace, low self esteem, anger management life transitions including retirement, separation and bereavement.

We aim to support those who are struggling to overcome their emotional difficulties and stresses to lead more content and fulfilling lives.

Our counselling approach is integrative meaning that we offer a variety of counselling styles and models to suit individual needs, seeking to keep our clients' best interests at heart. This may include aspects of CBT which helps clients become aware of unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours and Psychodynamic which will help you to understand how past events may be affecting you now. Ultimately the most important aspect of the counselling relationship is the rapport, trust, acceptance and understanding between counsellor and client.

Generally sessions are provided each week for as long as is needed by our clients. This enables clients to work at their pace. We do not limited the number of sessions that our clients can have apart from a 2 year overall limit. We would review counselling with you regularly and review your counselling needs and what is helpful.

However if we engage in online sessions such as Zoom or Skype or telephone therapy we will discuss and may propose a limited number of sessions but with the aim of providing sufficient support.

We are a not for profit organisation and do not receive outside funding. Therefore we ask for a contribution to our costs. Our counsellors offer their services at reduced rates in order to support our vision of making counselling available at an affordable cost. We are happy to discuss your particular circumstances, as our aim is that no one is denied counselling due to cost alone.

Registered Charity number 1154986

The centre is based in the heart of Reigate and face to face sessions are in comfortable  rooms all of which  are well served by public transport and car parking with disabled access.

Sessions  last for between 50 and 60 minutes. After the initial call  where we discuss what has brought you to consider counselling, an appointment would be made to meet with a counsellor as soon as possible. At the first meeting you and the counsellor can talk through your concerns and you can ask questions without any obligation to continue.

If you decide to continue with counselling then you will see the same counsellor each week and periodically review how counselling is helping or whether there are any aspects you would like to change

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.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.
