Working Together
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy.
This is the last hard part you do alone.
I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can talk openly without fear of judgement. As an Integrative Counsellor, I tailor therapy to your individual needs - there are no expectations. You can show up exactly as you are.
Together, we'll make sense of your experiences, gain a deeper understanding of the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My role is to walk alongside you with warmth, curiosity and support, gently shining a light on the things that may have been difficult to see on your own. I'll be with you at every stage, offering a safe space as you move towards the changes the feel important in your life.
Whenever you're ready, I'm here.

FEES & AVAILABILITY
How much does it cost?
Your first session is £30 so you can see if I'm a right fit for you. If so, sessions moving forward will be £75 for 50 minutes.
What happens in the first session?
We'll explore what brings you here and what you'd like to gain from therapy and go through our contract (even if it's just one session), this is also your chance to sense what it would be like to work with me. You can voice any concerns, questions or thoughts.
How do I book a session?
Fill out my contact form or email me directly at gparker.therapy@gmail.com
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes, via secure Zoom/Teams, so you we can talk from the comfort of your sofa - contact me today to find out more.
Where are your in-person sessions held?
In Guildford and Haslemere, Surrey. Currently.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies and depends on the issues you bring to therapy - but you are always in control, and I'll check in with you along the way. Generally, 6-12 weeks is often when clients remark feeling a change, but many go on for longer.
To fit your needs, along with Weekly I also offer Bi-Weekly and Monthly sessions.
Is Therapy confidential?
Yes, except in rare cases of legal or safety concerns for you or someone else - but so long as it's not urgent, I do my best to discuss this with you first before any action is taken. I see a Supervisor once a month who I go over my client work with - this is more about me and how I'm working with you - to ensure I am working ethically for your sake so you get the best support possible.
What if I still have questions?
There are no silly questions, please get in touch and ask away! Contact me via the contact form below or my email directly: gparker.therapy@gmail.com
