Harmonious Counselling Counselling and Psychotherapy in Alfold, Cranleigh, Surrey Walk & Talk Therapy, Online and Telephone Counselling for Individuals and Couples

Welcome. KateWeb

Kate Heavey BA (Hons) FdSc BACP Accredited - Individual counselling Cranleigh. Relationship practitioner. Marriage / couples counselling Billingshurst. Walk talk therapy Surrey. Online and telephone psychotherapist.

Welcome to my website which I hope will give you an idea of how I work.

I am qualified to work with both individuals and couples and I am very passionate about my work believing change is available to all.

What is interesting 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 in relationship with others and from life experiences.

What is important to know is that what is learnt can be unlearnt if you want to.

    A further benefit of private practice counselling is that, whatever the reason for you seeking therapy, our sessions are confidential and separate away from your everyday life and no-one else is informed (and nothing goes on your doctor records either).

    Welcome. Emotionalresources

    • Couple, Marriage and Relationship Counselling and Psychotherapy
    When we are in healthy relationships we are more connected with our self and others whether this is parents, in-laws, children, siblings, steps, friends or work colleagues. Relationship counselling is about all 'two's' and is not just for our most intimate relationship.

    Reasons can include: -

  • Lack of communication skills, i.e. more arguments, feeling unheard, struggling to accept difference
  • Built-up resentment is replaying old hurts with an inability to repair
  • Unresolved past baggage being triggered, i.e. trauma, abuse, jealousy, envy, shame, etc.
  • Lack of intimacy / sex life / desire
  • You are self-loathing and self-critical of yourself and/of one another
  • Betrayal, affairs, infedility leading to trust and commitment issues
  • Loss or bereavement, i.e. death, miscarriage, baby loss, redundancy
  • Impact of becoming parents, i.e. loss of independence, inequality feelings, loneliness, isolation, etc.
  • Family squabbles and fall outs causing conflict
  • Impact of addiction on relationship (i.e. alcohol, food, mobiles, porn)
  • Learnt survival techniques (fight, flight, freeze, friend, flop) causing relational conflict
  • Pre-marriage therapy (or newly married)
  • Contemplation of separation or divorce
  • .... plus a.n.other reason.

    Welcome. Worthy

    • Individual Counselling and Psychotherapy
    There are many reasons you may find yourself here yet what is known is that you are currently unhappy and unfulfilled and looking for some support for yourself. Therapy offers this and I can provide assistance with talking through: -

  • A life-changing event, e.g. bereavement, abuse, rape, redundancy, divorce, etc.
  • Anxiety which may be crippling you and has you feeling worried
  • Alcohol consumption increase - concerns that you may have an alcohol addiction / alcoholism
  • Binge Eating Disorder - you have realised you have an unhealthy relationship with food
  • Feeling unhappy, unfulfilled or stuck that life is going no-where
  • Increase in unpleasant feelings such as anger, frustration, stress, confusion or sadness
  • Not feeling listened to, heard or understood
  • Parts of your life you are currently struggling with
  • Childhood experiences such as neglect, trauma, not having needs met or shaming
  • Feelings of abandonment, rejection or helplessness
  • The impact and consequences of choices you have made or are about to make
  • Concern around your mental health decline
  • Isolation and lonely feelings
  • ....a.n.other reason in a setting away from your day to day life.


    Question you may ask yourself: Am I good enough?

    Welcome. Goodenough

    • Answer: - Everyone is good enough and that most definitely includes you.


    Who I work with
    I work with men and women on an individual and couple basis.

    I have extensive experience in a wide spectrum of issues including:-

  • Relationship issues, i.e. communication, co-dependency, coercive control, conflict, etc. (more info)
  • Marriage / couple work, i.e. affairs, betrayals, trust issues, difference
  • Alcohol addiction / alcohol dependency / alcoholism (more info)
  • Binge eating disorder
  • Bereavement, grief and loss including death, separation, divorce, pet or childhood (more info)
  • Mental health issues including anxiety, social anxiety, fear, depression and low mood
  • Work issues including assertiveness, stress, anxiety, feeling left out, not good enough, etc.
  • Exploring a potential job or career change
  • Family issues with parents, siblings, clash of personalities, steps or estrangement
  • Life events and transitions such as leaving home, mid-life crisis, retirement or moving house
  • Loss / change of purpose
  • Low self-esteem, low self-confidence or low self-acceptance
  • Trauma and abuse whether this is sexual, emotional, physical or verbal
  • Feelings of shame, helplessness, loss, rage, anger, etc.
  • Anger management (although I prefer the term 'anger expression')
  • Terminal illness diagnosis - working with both patients and carers
  • Death anxiety - feeling like the clock is ticking or there is a fear of death
  • Suicidal thoughts.

    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. For me counselling is about embracing your uniqueness and individuality and all you are.

    Walk Talk Therapy Surrey / Nature Therapy / Outdoor Therapist


    Walk Talk therapy Surrey. Outdoor therapist Cranleigh. Nature Therapy in Surrey Hills and surrounding villages.

    Welcome. WalknTalk

    For some people the thought of sitting in an office talking can be daunting, or may seem too personal, and so nature therapy with an outdoor therapist offers a fantastic alternative.

    Walk talk therapy Surrey offers a way of being alongside one another in nature, or sitting on a bench looking out onto a vast expanse, which can add a much more relaxed feeling to your sessions and may fit more with your lifestyle.

    Living in Alfold, I have the Loxwood Canal, Sidney Woods and the Downs Link all on my doorstep. However, if there is an area that you prefer, within a 20 minute drive from Alfold, then please do let me know when you contact me. This would include villages such as Petworth, Chiddingfold, Rudgwick and Bramley and those in-between.


    Online Counselling


    Psychotherapy online via Zoom and Signal. Online Couples Counselling Billingshurst. Teletherapy / phone counselling.

    Welcome. OnlineCounselling

    I am additionally an online counsellor and therapist. I offer counselling via Zoom, WhatsApp, Signal (and other video online links) and the telephone. I offer both individual and relationship counselling online and individual counselling via the phone (I do not believe that couple counselling works this way).

    As an online counsellor, my current caseload includes UK, Europe and many countries worldwide (excluding USA and Canada due to local licencing laws).

    Note: Even though I am qualified and registered here in the UK, it is the legislation laws in the country where the counselling and psychotherapy takes place that govern therapy, i.e. here in the UK I have a legal responsibility to report terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering yet legal requirements may differ in the country where counselling is offered.
