Counselling for Adults, Couples and Relationships Godalming, Guildford, Surrey and Online
Support with Parenting, Trauma, Neurodivergence and Emotional Intimacy
Have you spent a long time being who you think you "should" be because, you're afraid people won't stick around if you show them who you really are?
Maybe this feels safer than the alternative, but it leaves you feeling unfulfilled and wishing someone would notice and love the real you.
Some of us shut down and keep quiet in an attempt to protect ourselves or not make things worse. Others do everything they can to keep the peace but it's exhausting. Often these two people are drawn together and come to me as a couple too.
When you've learned that love is conditional, relationships can feel fragile and like harder work than they should.
I work with people ready to find a way forward with emotional intimacy, self acceptance and to discover real connection doesn't just survive when you show up fully, it thrives.
About Me
Hi, I'm Kate.
I am an Integrative-Relational Counsellor based in Godalming, Guildford, Surrey and across the UK online. I work with adults and couples who are tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns in their relationships, with themselves and in how they move through the world.
I know from personal and professional experience how, much of who we are gets shaped by early life. These old patterns can quietly shape who we show the world as adults and what we keep hidden. But what once served us can become the cause of struggles in adulthood.
My approach is human, I don't expect you to show up with all the answers or even knowing how to do therapy right. I will meet you exactly as you are and we'll figure it all out from there. Making change isn't a one size fits all kind of thing, we'll work together to find what you need to get to where you want to be.

My therapy room is in central Godalming. You’ll find it just off the High Street, down a short cobbled path. It’s tucked away from the bustle, offering a quiet and private space for counselling.
If you’re driving, you can park for free in Sainsbury’s (for up to 2 hours) or Waitrose (for up to 90 minutes). It’s also just a short walk from local car parks, including Crown Court Car Park, Queen Street Car Park, and Waverley Council Office Car Park.
I have use of two therapy rooms, both are on the first floor and accessed by stairs. When you arrive, there’s a small waiting area, and usually someone at the front desk who are happy to help if you need anything before your session. If you need ground floor access this can be arranged too.
Once we’ve got your session booked in, payment is requested at booking and can be made by bank transfer. For in person sessions I can accept cash payments if preferred. Invoices can be arranged upon request.
Once your appointment is booked, you’ll receive an email with all the details, including a secure Zoom link to join your session.
On the day, simply click the link a few minutes before your appointment to join our virtual waiting room.
Individual sessions last 50 minutes and couples sessions are either 60 or 90 minutes. They usually take place on a weekly basis at the same time each week, just like in-person counselling.
Online counselling offers a convenient and comfortable way to receive support from home or anywhere you feel safe.
Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of counselling. Everything you share during our sessions is held in strict confidence, within the limits of the law and ethical guidelines.
I adhere to professional standards set by counselling bodies to keep your information safe and secure. This includes secure storage of records and private, confidential sessions whether in person or online.
The only times confidentiality may be broken are in situations where there is a risk of harm to you or others, or when legally required. If we do identify a risk, where possible we'll work together to decide how best to manage it. This will usually be by deciding what other service we might need to support us.
If you have any questions or concerns about confidentiality, please feel free to ask.
If you're seeking counselling outside of working hours, I offer early sessions at 7am as well as Sundays mornings. My availability changes often, get in touch to find out what spaces are free and to find a time that works for you.
The number of counselling sessions you’ll need depends entirely on you and your unique situation. Everyone’s journey is different, so it’s hard to say an exact number upfront.
Throughout our work together, we’ll regularly reflect on your progress and how things are going, adjusting the pace as needed to support your goals.
Ultimately, you’re in charge of your counselling journey, you can stay for as long or as little as feels right for you.
At times I can offer a reduced fee for online counselling sessions. Unfortunately I'm not able to offer in person sessions at a reduced rate.
I have found that fortnightly sessions are most effective once we've been able to establish our relationship, I suggest we meet weekly for the first 6 sessions before reducing to fortnightly. I'm happy to discuss fees for this too if your need for fortnightly is due to finances.
