Sometimes life can feel heavy — full of pressure, uncertainty or emotional pain that’s hard to name. You might be carrying something recent, or something old. You may feel lost, anxious, low or simply unsure why things feel as they do.
Individual therapy offers a steady space — held with care, curiosity and compassion — to begin exploring what’s happening for you.
Therapy at The Surrey Centre is a collaborative process. It’s about working together to help you move through whatever may be holding you back from living more freely and fully.
We use an integrated approach, meaning our therapists draw on a range of therapeutic styles and techniques, adapting them to meet your individual needs. That may include exploring early experiences, patterns of behaviour, emotional blocks, or the ways you’re managing life in the here and now.
Therapy can be short-term or open-ended, and we’ll move at your pace. Some clients come with a specific issue in mind, while others arrive not knowing quite where to begin. Either way, the work begins with connection — with someone who is here to listen and support you as you find your way forward.

Individual therapy sessions are usually 55 minutes long, and you’ll typically meet once a week with the same therapist, allowing a consistent and trusting relationship to form. Sometimes, depending on what feels needed, sessions may happen more frequently, offering additional holding through particularly intense or shifting times.
Therapy at The Surrey Centre is not just about talking – it is a meeting of two people, a space where something meaningful can unfold between you. At its core, it’s a relational process: an attuned connection between client and therapist, held with care, presence and integrity. It’s a space where you can be fully met, without judgement or expectation.
Sometimes, the work may include gentle creative elements – such as sand trays, drawing, writing, or using symbolic objects – especially when what you’re carrying sits beyond words, or wants to be expressed in other ways.
Sessions can take place in person at our centres in Headley, Bath or Chepstow, or online, depending on what feels most supportive and accessible for you.
Therapy is not about giving advice or offering quick solutions — it’s about walking alongside you, offering encouragement and holding space for change.
When you’re ready, we’re here.
