Hello and a warm welcome to my website. I'm Tricia and I'm an Integrative Counsellor with a degree in Applied Psychology. I specialise in working with individuals and couples who are having relationship difficulties. I work in person with clients in the Godalming area and I also work online.
Relationships and the need for connection are fundamental to our wellbeing. I can help you make sense of the difficulties you are experiencing.
About me and my practice
I offer a safe, non-judgemental and respectful space to explore and empower you to make changes. I have been described as having a warm and compassionate approach.
Are you and your partner having problems around communication? Perhaps you don't feel heard or understood. Are trust issues getting in the way of your relationship?
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with fear of abandonment, over dependency, fear of rejection and commitment issues. I believe that in order to fully heal a relationship, and ourselves, we need to change unhealthy patterns of behaviour. I help clients to identify, understand and change these patterns so that they can move forward. I will listen with empathy and care, and support you to find a way forward.
I am Spanish, so I am happy to work with Spanish speaking clients.
Get in contact if you want to know more. I offer a free 15-minute consultation for a brief discussion about what you would like support with and where I can answer any questions you might have.
Issues I also work with include:
- Depression - low mood, sadness, feelings of loneliness,
isolation
- Relationship and family challenges and breakdowns
- Low confidence and self esteem
- Bereavement
- Challenges with identity and purpose
- Damaging coping mechanisms - addiction, self-harm, damaging eating behaviours
Beginning counselling can feel like a big step and I appreciate it is important for you to feel as comfortable about the process as possible.
