Children and Young People
Hi There! I'm Grace Parker.
Many of the people I work with have spent years wondering why life feels harder than it seems to for everyone else - feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like they don't quite fit in.
You might be here because you're:
- Wondering whether autism could explain why you've always felt different, feeling exhausted by masking, or holding your breath on the waiting list, or making sense of a late diagnosis.
- Looking for an LGBTQ+ affirming space where you are supported to explore and embrace what it means to be who you are.
- Searching for support for a child or young person who is struggling big feelings or finding life difficult to navigate
- You are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself or unsure on why you can't seem to cope with life - without the words to explain why.
My hope is that our sessions become somewhere you can pause, feel understood, and begin to make sense of your experiences. Together, we'll explore what you need and discover how to work with yourself rather than against yourself. Living in a way that honours who you are - not who you feel you should be.
As a Registered MBACP Counsellor, I offer world-wide online sessions and in-person counselling across Haslemere, Guildford and Surrey.

Adults Exploring Autism
If you have have always felt different, or overwhelmed, or like everyone else got the handbook on life except you? Whether you're wondering if you're Autistic, waiting for an assessment, or making sense of a late diagnosis, I'll help you understand yourself and build a life that works with you, not against you.
LGTBQ+ Affirming Counselling
You deserve a space where you don't have to explain or hide who you are. Whether you're exploring your identity or navigating relationships, I'll support you in being yourself without abandoning who you are.
Children and Young People
Sometimes children and young people need a space outside of home and school to make sense of big feelings. Through my warm, creative approach, I'll help them understand their emotions and build confidence.
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
