Welcome. Kate17082018

Kate Heavey BA (Hons) FdSc BACP (Accredited) - Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering Counselling in Ripley, Counselling near Woking and Psychotherapy near Guildford



Important information – Covid-19 / CoronaVirus

Update 30 March 2020

An announcement was made last week by the Government that restricted how I could offer counselling.

“Travel to and from work – only essential travel where the job can not be done from home”.

This meant that, for now, all face to face counselling has been suspended. However, in this time of distress and anxiety I am offering counselling by telephone, WhatsApp, Zoom or Skype with a view to re-starting face to face work in the near future.

As I always wish to be of service to not only my own clients yet others too I have written, and had published, an article which may help you to make sense of what is currently going on in your world:-

  • Low self-esteem
  • Low self-confidence
  • Abuse whether this be sexual, emotional, physical or verbal

    (Being diagnosed with a label and finding a word that accurately matches experience, whether internally or externally, can help something shift inside bringing understanding and awareness yet each person is so much more than a label being unique, special and different).
