I have some daytime and evening availability.

Sessions are 50 minutes long.

I may be able to offer fortnightly work if we have worked weekly for at least a month to establish our working relationship.

Are you struggling to manage anxiety or sadness, stuck in burnout or feeling overwhelmed by knowing that others don't appear to struggle like you do?

Sometimes talk therapy alone isn't enough. When strong emotions take over, it physically impacts our bodies as well as our minds leading to nervous tension, inability to relax and exhaustion.

I'm Stephanie and I hold a Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling (2008), a Level 3 Breathwork Coaching (2026) and I have 200 hrs Yoga Teacher Training (2026) .

Depending on what you bring, I use a variety of modalities to help you achieve your goals, find clarity, learn to regulate your nervous system and find peace of mind.

*Psychodynamic: bringing unconscious patterns to consciousness giving you choices and power over them.

*Person-centred: the power of being truly listened to without judgement, being understood with unconditional positive regard enables you to make connections and find clarity.

*Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: a future-focussed way of challenging limiting self-belief and thoughts which affect your emotions and behaviour.

*ADHD-Affirming Strategy Work A practical, non-judgemental approach to building bespoke lifestyle systems that support focus, manage energy and develop self-compassion.

*Working Creatively using pictures, drawing  and fairy tales enables you to reflect and see into situations with greater clarity. No artistic 'talent' required :)

*Somatic Tools for Anxiety: Learn the tools you need to reset your nervous system to access deep relaxation, calm any sense of panic, sleep well, function better and thrive.

*Recovery from Controlling/Abusive Relationships: Begin to flourish by firming your boundaries, setting goals, learn to identify abusive behaviours, develop confidence and self-forgiveness.

 *Breathwork Coach: Learn tools to calm/activate yourself, reduce stress, improve quality of sleep and bring stillness to the 'chattering monkey' mind. 

Sessions are 50 minutes long, ideally at the same time each week. 

Our work together is tailored to your needs. It is client-centred

Most of my work is online or face-to-face, here in my tranquil practice in South Godstone.

Initially, you'll have a free Introductory Consultation via Zoom. This allows us to meet and get a feel for how well we can work together. It is not a counselling session. However, insights may come out of it. It is an opportunity for you to just say a little about what brings you to counselling and for me to talk about ways of working that would be most effective for you.

If we decide we can work well together, we set a time and date for our first session. I send you a 'Welcome!' email that has attached the Counselling Contract to which you need to agree via email confirmation prior to session 1, New Client Intake form for you to complete and 'How to Find Me' if we are working face-to-face.

Our first session together will include some 'housekeeping' time. We'll go through the New Client Form that you have already completed and returned to me. I will check that you are happy with the contract (way of working which outlines the practical way we work together) and answer any questions you may have. This aspect of our work provides a safe bedrock for the work we'll be doing.

Once the 'housekeeping' is done, I will invite you to tell me about you. You can start wherever you wish to. Be assured that however jumbled it all is, we'll piece it together.

Occasionally, if a client is very tense, I will suggest we start with a few minutes of breathwork.
