Specialist Counselling in Guildford & Wimbledon

Welcome to our clinic, where our team of specialist Clinical and Counselling Psychologists offer counselling, therapy, and CBT.

Our team of online psychologists, based in Wimbledon and Guildford are all empathic, experienced and highly skilled practitioners, each of whom works skill-fully to reduce distress and improve your mental health. We are solution focused and believe that it is entirely possible to overcome anxiety, depression, self-criticism, and other mental health difficulties.

Whatever issues you are struggling with - from high functioning anxiety and depression, to self-esteem, neurodiversity, and relationship problems – our online counselling can help you to remove the obstacles that prevent you from finding inner peace, and reaching your full potential. Our team also offer bespoke neurodiversity services for young people and adults with ADHD and autism.

With an extensive range of specialist therapeutic services, the main approaches we draw on include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, systemic therapy, person-centred therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

To begin your therapy journey, we offer a free 20 minute consultation, offered with no obligation. This initial conversation with one of our psychologists will ensure that you are matched with the therapist who is best suited to your needs. Although our Psychologists are based in Guildford and Wimbledon, all of our therapy is conveniently provided online, which you can access from the comfort of your own home, or a space that suits you.

As a PhD student at the University of Essex, Stephanie Ford is seeking participants for her research study entitled: “Neurodiverse Childhood Sexual Abuse survivors’ experiences of accessing support services”.

Meet the Team

  • Dianne Everitt - Clinical Psychologist

    Dianne Everitt - Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Director

    I am particularly passionate about working with high achievers and high functioning anxiety. If on the surface you look like you have it all together, but the implicit voice of self-doubt plagues you, then we will probably work well together.

    I am someone who holds myself to a high standard, and understand the double-edged sword that can be. My style is warm, and I value humour, honesty and authenticity. I believe change happens from the inside out - when we can get to the root of why you are stuck, we can figure out how to create lasting change.

  • Stephanie Ford - Counselling Psychologist

    Stephanie Ford - Counselling Psychologist

    I specialise in neurodiversity (autism and ADHD), trauma, complex PTSD, and inner child work, and work with both adolescents and adults. If you recognise feelings of shame or guilt, feel like you have to be self-sufficient and independent, and anxiety drives you to overcompensate for perceived shortfalls, we will likely work well together.

    My style in therapy is warm, honest, and intuitive, and I work collaboratively to approach problems in a creative way. I have always had a particular interest in people who feel misunderstood or who aren’t given a voice, and aim to help you develop strategies to feel more grounded.

  • Lindsay Hardman - Counselling Psychologist

    With 13 years as a practicing psychologist, I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. I have specialist training in Relationship Therapy and Brain Based therapy. Drawing on a systemic and interpersonal approach, I offer a unique and integrated perspective to my client’s therapeutic goals and needs.

    If you find yourself stuck in a relational pattern that you would like to shift, struggling to come to terms with a relationship that has ended or feeling trapped in a spiral of anxiety, I would love to meet you.

  • Dr Claire Vowell - Counseling Psychologist

    Dr Claire Vowell - Counseling Psychologist

    Having spent part of my career in the corporate environment, I have a good understanding of the mechanisms of stress and burnout. I am passionate about working with high achievers who are facing work related stress, high functioning anxiety, and relational difficulties.

    I am also particularly interested in supporting parents who are struggling, from the post part adjustment, through to the challenges of raising adolescents. I have a good sense of humour, am warm and easy going, and love to problem solve.

  • Dr Ellen Harper - Clinical Psychologist

    With 7 years experience on the NHS, I have accumulated a broad range of experience. In private practice I work predominantly with high achievers who are struggling with high functioning anxiety and perfectionism. I also work with trauma, and relationship difficulties. I draw from various theories, including CAT.

    Having worked on an autism diagnostic service, I am experienced in working with neurodiversity, and take a positive, strengths-based approach. I am curious, down-to-earth, creative, and I don’t take myself too seriously.

  • Dr Anna Lawes - Clinical Psychologist

    I work with high achievers and adolescents over the age of 16, who struggle with a range of mental health difficulties, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, work-stress, eating disorders, sleep and chronic health. On the NHS I worked with complex needs, and am trained in DBT.

    I am registered as both a Clinical Psychologist and CBT therapist. I have a particular interest in helping mums with young children, in taking care of their needs and finding a healthy balance. I am warm, compassionate, authentic and honest.

  • Dr Alastair Pipkin - Clinical Psychologist

    I work with individuals over the age of 16, struggling with a range of difficulties. I am particularly passionate, as well as experienced in working with high-achievers, neurodiversity (autistic spectrum disorder and ADHD), and gender identity (LGBTQ+).

    I am registered as both a Clinical Psychologist and a CBT therapist, as well as a gender specialist. I have published Psychological research, lectured at a University and been the principal lead for an inpatient setting. I am curious, analytical, laid-back, and humorous.

  • Dr Naomi Middleton - Clinical Psychologist

    I offer ADHD assessments to older adolescents and adults. Through my years of work as a therapist, I have worked with an increasing number of individuals with undiagnosed ADHD. This often looks very similar to depression, anxiety, unmet potential, and almost always comes with a fractured self-image.

    Receiving the correct treatment for ADHD is life-changing, and the first step towards this is a comprehensive assessment. When offering an assessment, my aim is to give you a clear picture of what the underpinning difficulties are, so that you can access the right treatment.

  • Dr Joanna Lodge - Clinical Psychologist

    With over 10 years experience, I have worked in a range of mental health difficulties. In my NHS role, I work with complex mental health, trauma, and supporting families to help their loved one. In private practice, my focus is on high-achievers and trauma.

    I work from a CBT framework t star with, and have additional training in other approaches that I will implement when needed. These include compassion focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and EMDR. I am thorough and pride myself on an excellent standard of care.

Specialist Areas

We want to be the best at what we do, and so we only work with areas that we can confidently say we are expert in. We have highlighted our main areas of expertise below, but also offer online counselling in Guildford & Wimbledon for other difficulties when they overlap with these.

  • Anxiety counselling Guildford & Wimbledon

    Anxiety

    Anxiety is very rarely a cause and effect type of mechanism. For most people, waves of anxiety hit out of the blue, and can be difficult to work with when we don’t understand it. Anxiety hijacks our brains and makes it difficult to function as our logical and in-control selves. Our Psychologists are anxiety specialists, from panic attacks to high functioning anxiety.

  • Self-esteem counselling Guildford & Wimbledon

    Self-esteem

    The image that we hold of ourselves is the foundation that drives most of our behaviour. If our self-esteem is poor, we are more prone to people pleasing behaviours, tend to be more critical of ourselves, and can lose site of who we really are. Our Psychologists all understand the mechanisms of self-esteem well, and work to build more self confidence.

  • Relationship counselling Guildford & Wimbledon

    Relationships

    Relationships are the essence of life. Whether you want to work on your relationship with yourself, some unfinished business from past relationships, are struggling with current relationships, or fearful of future relationships, our relationship counselling in Guildford and Wimbledon works to develop effective interpersonal strategies.

  • Burnout therapy Guildford & Wimbledon

    Burnout

    Burnout is what happens when the cumulative effects of prolonged stress leave you depleted. You lose your motivation, brain fog sets in, and you feel like a less competent, less capable version of yourself. Our psychologists can help you with the recovery process and put some effective strategies in place to reduce the impact of stress.

  • Trauma & Complex PTSD therapy Guildford & Wimbledon

    Trauma and Complex PTSD

    Sometimes we get stuck on experiences in our past that prevent us from living the life we want to live in the here and now. If there are experiences from your past that have left you with unfinished business and are holding you back, working in a trauma-informed way with on eo four psychologists can be life changing.

  • Autistic Spectrum Condition therapy Guildford & Wimbledon

    Autistic Spectrum Condition

    Most people who are on the spectrum spend their lives with an underlying feeling that they are slightly different from everybody else. Therapy provides a space to understand these differences, and work on the impact on your mental health and relationships. We can help you develop tools and strategies to help you cope better.

  • ADHD counselling Guildford & Wimbledon

    ADHD

    ADHD affects every area of life, from emotional regulation to relationships. Understanding the neurobiology of ADHD and how this interacts with mental health is essential to treating it. The good news is that there is so much that can be done to rewire neural pathways for those with ADHD. We offer both diagnostic assessments, as well as coaching and therapy for ADHD.

  • Online parent coaching Guildford & Wimbledon

    Parenting

    As parents ourselves, our parenting experts fully appreciate how helpless our children’s struggles can render us. Our online parent coaching gives you a space to gain a deeper understanding of what your child is struggling with, and what they might need from you. From the post - partum period through to adolescent behaviours, we can help.
