Kate Heavey BA (Hons) FdSc BACP (Accredited) - Individual, Couples and Online Counsellor and Psychotherapist. Currently offering online counselling and psychotherapy via Zoom, WhatsApp, Skype and the telephone only.
**Update 23 February 2021**
Please note I have a full practice and I am not currently taking on new clients.
Please visit BACP's website (www.bacp.co.uk) to find an alternative BACP accredited therapist.
Welcome to my website which I hope will give you an idea of how I work as a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist. I am an individual and couples counsellor and I am very passionate about my work believing change is available to all.
What is interesting in life is that we are only born with two fears.....fear of falling and fear of loud noises; everything else (thoughts, feelings and behaviour) is learnt.
And with regards to relationship everything we learn is in relationship and what is learnt can be unlearnt if we want to.
Whatever your reasons for seeking counselling / psychotherapy our sessions are confidential and separate from your everyday life.


I work with men and women on an individual and couples basis.
I have extensive experience in a wide spectrum of issues including:-
(Being diagnosed with a label and finding a condition that accurately matches your experience, whether internally or externally, can help something shift inside you and bring understanding and awareness yet I truly believe that each person is so much more than a label being unique, special and different).
**Please note that face to face counselling is currently suspended due to Government Guidelines**
I offer individual and couples counselling in Ripley (Surrey) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
My Ripley office is located on the first floor of business premises (sadly no lift available).
My counselling office is accessable to the surrounding villages of Burnt Common, Send, Old Woking, Ockham, Pyrford, Knaphill, East Horsley, West Horsley, Cobham, Sheerwater, Wisley, Sutton Green, Jacobs Well, Shere, Shalford, Effingham and Clandon being on the Portsmouth Road (B2215) in Ripley.
If you are coming from further afield you are likely to use the A3 to access individual and couples counselling in Ripley and within a 30 minute journey of Ripley is Guildford, Godalming, Worplesdon, Ash, Aldershot, Merrow, Burpham, Farnham, Frimley, Farnborough, Dorking, Milford, Chiddingfold, Esher, West Byfleet and Byfleet.
If you do not have use of a car and require counselling near Woking then my Ripley Office is on bus routes 462 and 463 and will get you to within 50 metres of my Ripley Office. Likewise, if you require individual, couples counselling or psychotherapy in Ripley from Guildford or Kingston, bus 715 will get you to my office.
On a Monday I am an online counsellor via Zoom, WhatsApp, Skype or the telephone.
Currently Tuesday and Wednesday 'office' appointments are also starting online due to current government restrictions due to face to face inside time without PPE.
