Somewhere to think out loud, at your own pace.
If something has been sitting heavily for a while, and you have been managing it on your own, this is a place to put it down for fifty minutes a week.
“I would like to talk to someone.” A complete first message; nothing more is required.
Three steps, and you can stop at any of them
A short message is enough to begin. There is no form to fill in beyond a name and a way to reach you, and nothing is asked that a website should not be asking.
Published, so you can decide privately
A small number of lower-cost places are kept open. Nothing is added later.
I am Sarah Whitfield, a counsellor in Woking
I am a registered member of BACP and I work within their ethical framework. Monthly clinical supervision with a qualified supervisor, and professional indemnity insurance in place: a professional requirement, not a formality.
When you are ready, one sentence is enough
No waiting list at present, usually able to offer a first session within two weeks.
