Welcome to Fiona Spencer Counselling Psychology Practice

Welcome to Fiona Spencer Counselling, which seeks to explain the service I provide in my therapeutic practice in Dorking, Surrey and how it may be of help to you. If you have any questions or wish to discuss whether I might be able to help, do please contact me by phone or e-mail.

Psychological therapy is of proven benefit in a wide range of mental and physical health problems, and you may be able to access such help through the NHS. But if you are looking to see an experienced therapist, with qualifications in psychology, counselling and psychotherapy, who can offer therapy from her practice in Dorking, Surrey, at times to fit in with your life, do read on.

In my Counselling Psychology Practice I provide counselling and psychotherapy to adults of any age with emotional, psychological or relationship issues that are causing distress, or to those who are seeking more in-depth understanding of personality issues that may be holding them back. I also offer supervision to other practitioners both whilst in training and post-qualification. The aim is to provide a setting in which therapists can grow in confidence and competence. Through building a relationship with the supervisor as a trusted colleague, the therapist can safely reflect on all dimensions of their practice I have particular interests in life transitions, adaptation to physical health problems, infertility and end-of-life care, as well as the most common mental health problems: depression and anxiety, for which Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) may be the most appropriate approach.

Work-related stress, relationship breakdown, trauma, loss, identity issues and low self-esteem may also be contributors for which you may be seeking counselling; or a more general sense that all is not well, that you wish to explore means of creating greater fulfilment or purpose to your life.

The length and approach to therapy is tailored to your individual needs, and my training as a Counselling Psychologist, together with over 15 years of experience in the NHS (in a Psychology Service and a local GP Surgery), the voluntary sector and private practice, enables me to provide this.

The starting point is establishing a relationship of trust in which together we make a careful assessment of your difficulties and their context, and apply psychological knowledge so as to establish a shared understanding and plan for therapy.

My Counselling Psychology Practice is within easy reach by road or rail of Leatherhead, Epsom, Guildford, Reigate, Redhill and Horsham.

Appointments are available weekdays and evenings, and every effort will be made to respond promptly and flexibly to your needs.
