Tricia Slater Counselling

Hello and a warm welcome to my website. I'm Tricia and I'm an experienced Psychotherapist with a degree in Applied Psychology. With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health, I am dedicated to continual study and professional growth, expanding my knowledge in therapeutic practice and mental health research.

 

I see individuals and couples. When working with individuals I specialise in supporting adults who have experienced difficult childhoods and who find these early experiences continue to affect them today. They may have experienced loss, abandonment or abuse as a child. These difficult events are at the root of their anxiety, their low self esteem and their inability to set boundaries in relationships.

 

My approach is gentle, compassionate and trauma-informed, helping you reconnect with your inner child, heal old wounds and create healthier patterns of relating.

​

Many of the clients I work with have experienced early emotional neglect, abuse, loss or family difficulties. These experiences can continue to shape how we feel, think and relate to others well into adult life — often showing up as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, or a deep sense of disconnection. 

​

You may benefit from working with me if you:

• Struggle with anxiety, low confidence or self-criticism

• Feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing or emotional overwhelm

• Experience emotional numbness or disconnection

• Want to heal your Inner Child and build a stronger sense of self-worth

​

My approach combines person-centred counselling, trauma-informed practice, and Inner Child work. Together, we gently explore the younger parts of you that may still carry pain, fear, or unmet needs. By bringing understanding and compassion to those parts, profound healing and emotional integration can take place. My aim is always to help you feel safe, grounded, and empowered as you reconnect with your authentic self. Sessions are paced carefully so that you remain in control of your own healing journey.

​

I offer both online and in-person sessions, providing a supportive environment where you can explore your story at your own pace. If you’re ready to begin healing from the effects of trauma and reconnect with your true self, please feel free to get in touch. I’d be honoured to support you on your journey towards healing, resilience, and self-understanding.

​

​I work in person with clients in Godalming, Surrey  (https://surreyholistic.com/)  and I also work online. I see individuals and couples. I am a native Spanish speaker so I'm happy work with clients in Spanish.
