Tricia Slater Counselling

Hello and a warm welcome to my website. I'm Tricia and I'm an Integrative Counsellor with a degree in Applied Psychology. I specialise in working with anxiety, low mood, relationship issues and childhood trauma. I work with individuals and with couples.

​​

I believe that in order to fully heal ourselves, and our relationships, we need to explore the root of our issues, not with judgement but with compassion and understanding. I listen with empathy, respect and care. I find that being present with my clients, fully accepting them as they are, supports their healing process and helps them move forward with their lives. I work from the premise that gentle acceptance of all our emotions, with compassion and curiosity, can bring about deeper healing. I encourage my clients to explore the way they talk to themselves, many of us struggle with an inner critic. Instead of asking "what's wrong with me?" how about asking "what has happened to me to make me this way?" 

​

I help clients to become aware of their patterns and how these can affect their relationships. We may have learned that when we feel hurt, and our needs are not met, it feels safer to withdraw and disconnect. We have all developed ways of managing difficult emotions, at times, these coping strategies are not helpful. I work alongside clients to help them identify their strategies and to understand their impact.

I work in person with clients in Godalming, Surrey  (https://surreyholistic.com/)  and I also work online.
