Counselling in Kingston upon Thames & Worcester Park
BACP registered counsellor in Kingston upon Thames and Worcester Park, offering counselling near Surbiton and Wimbledon
Welcome!
My name is Shelly, and I’m a BACP registered counsellor in Kingston upon Thames and Worcester Park, offering counselling sessions near Surbiton and Wimbledon. I aim to provide a calm, supportive and confidential space in which you can talk about whatever is troubling you.
During the Covid-19 pandemic I am only seeing clients online via Zoom. I hope to return to face to face sessions in the near future. In the meantime please do get in touch if you would like to start having counselling with me online.
If you are thinking about having counselling it might be because the Covid-19 pandemic is causing you anxiety or making other issues in your life more difficult to cope with. Perhaps you are currently facing a distressing situation, maybe you are at a crossroads in your life, or you feel that now is the right time to get help with something that has been troubling you for a while. Whatever has brought you here, deciding to seek help is a significant first step.

How can counselling help?
Talking about your issues with a counsellor can help you to see things more clearly, to understand yourself better, and to make changes in your life.
- Anxiety - If you are experiencing anxiety, therapy can help you explore the cause of these feelings and find ways to cope with and overcome them.
- Bereavement - Losing someone close to you can lead to feelings of anger, sadness and depression. Whilst these feelings are normal and part of the grieving process, it can be helpful to talk to a counsellor about how you are feeling so that you can come to terms with your loss.
- Depression - Talking about how depression is affecting you can help you to acknowledge and accept your feelings and symptoms. It is also helpful to explore strategies for coping.
- Self esteem - Low self esteem can cause you to lack confidence, to feel that you are not worthy, or that you are not good enough. Exploring this in therapy can help you to gain insight into how these feelings have developed and to see things from a new perspective.
- Stress - Sometimes in life things can start to build up and put you under a lot of pressure. Increasing responsibilities, big changes such as redundancy or a new job, or experiencing relationship issues, can cause you to feel stressed. It can help to talk to a counsellor about what is causing you to feel stressed and explore ways to cope and reduce your stress levels.
