Family & Child Counselling in Surrey

Family Counselling

Our family relationships play a vital role in shaping who we are. They provide connection, belonging and the foundations for future relationships. But when these relationships become strained or stressful, it can leave everyone involved feeling hurt, frustrated or disconnected.

Sometimes difficulties arise from one person’s behaviour, and other times they build up gradually over the years. Whatever the cause, family counselling can help restore balance. With the support of a trained counsellor, each family member is given a safe, supportive space to speak openly, listen to each other, and begin rebuilding trust and understanding.

Child Counselling

Noticing that your child is struggling emotionally or psychologically can be worrying and overwhelming as a parent. Professional support can make all the difference—whether by helping you find new ways to support your child yourself, or by working directly with them in a safe and gentle way.

Just like adults, children can experience complex emotional struggles that are difficult to put into words. With the right guidance, they can begin to understand and express their feelings, reducing the anxiety or distress they may be carrying.

Taking the Next Step

If you are concerned about your family dynamics or your child’s wellbeing, speaking with your GP or a qualified family and child counsellor in Surrey is a positive first step. With the right support, it is possible to strengthen relationships, ease difficulties and create a healthier family environment.

TED Talk: Jennifer Senior: For parents, happiness is a very high bar
The parenting section of the bookstore is overwhelming—it's "a giant, candy-coloured monument to our collective panic," as writer Jennifer Senior puts it.

In this honest talk, she offers some kinder and more achievable aims.

Powerful Quotes and Poems to inspire you

Dare we hope? We dare.
Can we hope? We can.
Should we hope? We must, because to do otherwise is to waste the most precious of gifts given so freely by God to all of us. So when we do die, it will be with hope and it will be easy and our hearts will not be broken.

Love is Patient - The Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
Always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
