Sharon Green Counselling for Leatherhead & Guildford

My name is Sharon and I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist in private practice, based in Bookham, near Leatherhead and also in Guildford. I work with adult individuals, couples and also young people. I offer both short-term and longer term open-ended counselling, to suit your needs.

I hold counselling appointments on weekdays, in the daytime and evenings, with occasional limited availability at the weekend. I offer a FREE 30 minute consultation, without obligation, where we can discuss your needs and I can explain how I practice, to help us to decide if we are happy to work together.

I am committed to making therapy accessible, so offer a small number of concessions for clients on a low income; if this feels relevant to you, we can discuss this when we meet. I also work with Counsellors in training, so please feel free to contact me.

I offer you support in working through your difficulties, freeing you to experience life more fully and with greater self-acceptance. As an Integrative Therapist, I can work in a flexible way with you, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your needs. The theoretical approaches I work with include Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Existential. I can work with you in a long-term, open ended way, or within a short-term solution focused framework, dependent on your needs.

I have experience in providing counselling and psychotherapy to adult clients in a local community based service and in a GP practice. I have spent a number of rewarding years as a volunteer Bereavement Counsellor with the national charity Cruse and as a University based Student Counsellor in Surrey. My therapeutic experience includes the setting up and running of a school-based counselling service in London, where I supervised the clinical work of a team of Children's Counsellors. I have provided crisis counselling to teenagers and young adults referred via CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services).

I presently work with clients in my private practice, where I also provide counselling through an NHS IAPT service.

I also enjoy the fulfilling experience of being a Mentor to trainee and newly qualified counsellors.

I am a registered therapist and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
