Hello, my name is Fiona Sutton and I am a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor experienced in working with couples, individuals, children and young people. I am a member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I’m an Integrative Therapist, which means I use a wide range of counselling theories to provide the appropriate support to people in their relationships. I have a particular interest in trauma focused therapy and have been successful in helping people recognise how past traumas, core beliefs and experiences might be impacting their day to day relationships.
Relationships can be one of the most fulfilling and pleasurable areas in our life. Our tendency to develop intimate and intense relationships can bring great happiness. However, occasionally our relationships can become full of tension, resentment, hurt and conflict causing pain and upset to one or both parties. Difficulties in relationships are one of the most common causes of unhappiness and often one of the main reasons that bring people to therapy.
My aim as a couple counsellor is to help you better understand yourself and each other, in order for you to resolve any issues you are experiencing. I provide a safe, confidential space where you will have the opportunity to calmly discuss and explore the problems you are facing in ways you find the most helpful.
Every couple’s situation and lived experience is unique, and I will always consider this during our sessions. At times, I will gently encourage you both to take the lead to achieve your relationship goals. If you are unsure of your relationship goals, I will provide the tools and techniques to guide you and help you find clarity.
Couple therapy sessions are intended to help you both communicate more effectively. Which will hopefully lead to you having a clearer understanding of yourselves and each other. I will support you in understanding how to communicate, including subjective interpretation of each other’s behaviours and language.
I believe that everyone is their own expert and therefore they can trust themselves to find resolution to problems.
Ethical Standards – As a member of the BACP I adhere to their ethical guidelines, ongoing supervision and CPD (Continual Professional Development) to ensure the service I provide the best possible service to my clients.
Qualifications
Prior to becoming a Couples Counsellor, I worked as a Primary Teacher and particularly enjoyed supporting and teaching the whole child, rather than just a subject. I quickly recognised, in both pupils and staff, if situations were difficult, less learning and quality teaching took place.
I’m passionate about supporting emotionally and psychologically so becoming a counsellor was a natural transition. I trainined in Farnborough four years ago and have gained vast experience in a wide range of issues . I’m also experienced in working with a diverse range of cultures, ages and sexualities.
My previous work was also with families, often mediating disputes whilst ensuring everyone is heard and valued. I maintain continuous training and development requirements and work within the ethical boundaries of the BACP. I’m fully insured for both public lablity and professional indemnity.
I am married with four older and adult children.

Hello, my name is Julia Fox and I am a fully qualified Person-Centred Therapist experienced in working with couples and individuals. I’m a Registered Member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Being a Person-Centred counsellor means I will tailor our sessions around the issues you bring, rather than me setting the agenda. At the start of our sessions, I will ask you what you hope to achieve through couples counselling. You may be looking for help in making your relationship work better, or perhaps help in separating more amicably. Maybe you don’t know which direction you would like the relationship to take at this moment in time. That’s okay, I will help you find the clarity you need.
My role as a couples therapist is to help you both communicate more effectively. It’s not about me offering advice. It’s more about me being a mediator and joining you in exploring the best way forward for you as a couple.
I provide a safe, confidential space, and an informal approach. I understand that taking the step to seek couples counselling can be difficult. However, it means you are investing time and energy into improving your relationship, which is a massively positive step.
When things are emotionally charged it can be difficult to talk about the things that concern you in your relationship without it turning into an argument. This is where relationship therapy can help. As a couple’s counsellor, and someone outside of your situation, I am able to see things more objectively because I’m unbiased and not emotionally involved. I will listen to your individual perspectives on the issues you are experiencing and gently encourage you to try to see things from the other’s point of view.’
Communication between two people is key to a healthy relationship. The therapy won’t be about who is right or wrong. It will be about developing a deeper understanding of the other’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I certainly won’t take sides or judge you.
The way you relate to each other may be affected by past experiences such as repeating family patterns of behaviour and communication that are in your subconscious, so you are unaware of them. I will support you both to explore what’s really going on and what’s getting in the way of you communicating more effectively. Then you will hopefully be able to find a way forward in whichever way you choose.
As an experienced bereavement counsellor, I have supported couples where one or both partners have suffered a loss. It’s a difficult time, and one partner may feel that they are not being supported by the other. People often grieve in different ways and this can drive a wedge between them, or breed resentment. Bereavement, or any type of loss, can bring up difficult, conflicting feelings, such as despair, guilt and anger. I will support you both to find a voice in a safe way and offer you tools for compassionate self-care.
I am DBS checked and fully insured.
Prior to qualifying as a therapist over four years ago, I worked on charity helplines, and then as a support worker for the British Red Cross at St Thomas’s Hospital, and several London carers centres. In my spare time, I volunteered as a counsellor and loved the work. During the pandemic, I volunteered as a counsellor at Kingston Bereavement Service, and later worked for Paul’s Cancer Support Service in Battersea, London.
All these roles have given me invaluable experience that I bring to my counselling work.
I am married, with two adult children.
Ethical Standards – As a member of BACP I adhere to their ethical guidelines, ongoing supervision and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) to ensure the service I provide to my clients is the best possible.

Hello! My name is Jessica and I’m a fully qualified and experienced individual and couple counsellor. I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). So therefore, uphold their ethical guidelines, maintaining ongoing supervision and CPD (Continual Professional Development). This ensures I consistently provide my clients with a high-quality service.
My main area of expertise is relational therapy. Which means, I look holistically at the relationship with ‘self’ such as role/identity, attachment style, self-esteem and so on. Alongside the systemic relationship with significant others, including both partners; parents; children and even relationships at work.
Through me providing a safe, confidential space and non-judgmental space, I will help you find ways of resolving any current conflict along with any historic issues within your relationship. I will endeavour to help you feel relaxed enough to explore the problems you are facing that is productive and effective for you both.
I understand that there is no such thing as a ‘one size fits all approach’ which can be formulaically applied to remedy every couple’s unique situation. Therefore, I pride myself on being a truly reflective practitioner, enabling you the autonomy over the goals, pace, possible tasks and interventions. I will invite you to take the lead in order to achieve the goals/aims you have set yourselves. Of course, I will be there to safely guide you, drawing upon my expertise and experience to gentle challenge and direct you where appropriate.
Where there may be impasse (brick-wall) or uncertainty as to which is the optimal direction for all, I will help you find clarity by providing a variety of tools and techniques to aide you both in getting there safely.
The cornerstone of couple’s therapy is to help you communicate more effectively. So therefore, I will help you actively listen to each other so you feel truly heard by the other. Together, we will explore your individual needs along with helping you express your needs within the relationship. and express your needs, so as to improve the chances of them being successfully met, imparting a sense of self value and fulfilment.
Couples work inevitably leads to the individuals incidentally having a better understanding of themselves, as well as of each other. I will support you to be able to better understand how effective communication, including conflict resolution, can be relayed and how it might land with the recipient. Studies show that formative life experiences can often be the cause of miscommunication in a relationship, e.g. illness or bereavement in childhood, alongside the subjective interpretation of each other’s language or behaviours. Are you even consciously aware what you and your partner’s ‘love language(s)’ are? The gradual exploration of these areas can lead to a greater understanding, which in turn, will reduce any rumination; hurt, resentment; resignation or, indeed, anger that may have latently been brewing. Let me ride that explosion with you both!
My methodology is Integrative following the Petrushka Clarkson relational model theory and I may draw down on multiple theories at any one time, for example person-centred; psychodynamic; transactional etc. I am insured and always uphold my governing body’s BACP ethical guidelines, maintain ongoing supervision and CPD (Continual Professional Development) to ensure the service I provide to my clients is consistently of the highest quality.
Prior to qualifying as a Counsellor, I worked as a teacher within both state and private schools. It was here, that I realised, how I particularly enjoyed the psychological aspects of teaching, seeking out the holistic picture of my students and their families. Therefore, making the transition to becoming a Therapist was a natural step.
Six years ago, I trained as a Bereavement Counsellor with ‘Cruse Bereavement Care’. This enabled me exposure to a wide range of issues and a diverse range of cultures, ages, sexuality and relationship situations. I’ve also volunteered as a pro-bono counsellor at Sutton Women’s Centre, which is a hub for survivors of domestic abuse.
I’m DBS checked fully insured and uphold my continuous personal development training requirements to ensure I provide the best possible service to my clients.
I very much look forward inviting you to my relaxing therapy studio in the heart of Kingswood Village.

Hello, my name is Sian Jones, and I’m a highly experienced Relationship Counsellor and founder of ‘Relationship Counselling Surrey’. I have a Psychology (BSC) hons and a proven track record of successfully helping tens of hundreds of couples achieve their goals. In addition to this, I hold diplomas in both ‘Psychotherapy’ and ‘Cognitive Behavioural Therapy’ (CBT), which assist me in addressing negative thought patterns when working with couples.
It was over 15 years ago, that I embarked on my career in relationship counselling, by establishing our parent company ‘Relationship Counselling Kent’. This thriving couple counselling business, prompted me to expand the availability of relationship counselling to couples to another county. Resulting in the creation of the now ‘Relationship Counselling Surrey’.
When relationships face difficulties, emotions run high, making it challenging to see beyond the immediate issues. Consequently, identifying individual contributions to the problems becomes difficult, often leading to a tendency to blame one’s partner. I take a logical, step-by-step approach to couple therapy. By asking relevant questions, I will encourage you both to work through the challenges together. This allows you to openly express what is not working and why, while affording your partner the opportunity to genuinely listen and understand your perspective.
The goal is not necessarily to agree or even like each other’s viewpoints but to reach an understanding. In my experience, by achieving such understanding goes a long way in removing any hurt, resentment or anger that might have built up over time.

Outside of my therapeutic experience, my background is within the corporate world of ‘Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd’ where I worked for many years in a variety of management roles. This might appear far removed from what I do now. However, I firmly believe the training, structure and discipline I gained during this time has contributed greatly in my becoming a successful Relationship Therapist. I also feel that my exposure in this type of environment has enabled me to view a ‘wider’ world and not just that of a therapy room. I took the decision to change direction and pursue a career in counselling. Therefore, over a 10-year period, whilst working full time, I undertook a degree in Psychology in order to train to become a psychotherapist, couple counsellor and a CBT Therapist.

Hello, my name is Katrina and ‘m a fully qualified Psychotherapist and Couples Counsellor based at Relationship Counselling Coulsdon. I have over 30 years of experience and I’m a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). I’m dedicated to helping couples build stronger, healthier relationships.
I provide a warm, welcoming, and safe space where you can openly express, explore, and understand whatever is troubling you. Together, we will work towards fostering a better relationship with yourself and your partner.
The love and companionship of a partner can bring out the best in us, offering a nurturing, supportive, and enlivening connection. However, relationships can sometimes face challenges such as arguments, affairs, mistrust, growing apart, control issues, boredom, sexual concerns, and external pressures. Big decisions, like whether and when to have a child, can also create stress.
During our sessions, we will objectively examine the dynamics between you, ensuring both of you feel heard and respected. I will guide you in discovering and experimenting with better ways to communicate your innermost thoughts and feelings, helping you grow in ways you might not have imagined.
We will explore how you express love and care for each other and how these gestures are received. I will support you in creating the conditions for intimacy and passion to flourish once again. It’s essential to feel like a team in your relationship rather than tackling issues alone. So I will help you build the awareness and skills to achieve that unity.
If an affair or betrayal has occurred, I provide a neutral, compassionate space where you can discuss what happened. This will enable you to process your emotions and come to a clearer understanding of your relationship’s current state and future possibilities. Whether you decide to stay together or part ways, I am here to support your journey.
Good relationships require attention and time, which is often freely given during the “falling-in-love” phase. Couples counselling can help you rediscover the motivation to invest that loving attention and time back into your relationship. Therefore, allowing it to thrive and flourish long after our sessions have ended.
I look forward to supporting you on your path to a more fulfilling and loving relationship.
I have always been deeply passionate about making connections and understanding the intricacies of human behavior. My journey into this field began with a career in marketing and consumer insight, where I delved into the fascinating dynamics of the relationships people form with brands. Over the years, I managed, designed, and interpreted research, leading a team dedicated to uncovering these insights. This experience honed my skills in understanding what drives people and how they relate to the world around them.
After a period of full-time work in this sector, I transitioned to freelancing as a market research consultant. During this time, I pursued my love for creative expression through writing fiction and poetry. This phase of my life opened my eyes to the profound intersections between creativity, self-knowledge, and personal growth. I immersed myself in various creative forms such as writing, dance, movement, music, voice, drama, imagination, and art.
My own personal journey in therapy began around this time, sparking a deep interest in therapeutic practices. I initially trained in using the arts as a therapeutic tool and later pursued training in relational and embodied psychotherapy. This comprehensive training allowed me to support individuals in a more holistic and integrated manner.
With a solid foundation in individual therapy, I expanded my practice to include working with couples and adults in various relationships. I have also been dedicated to sharing my knowledge and skills through workshops and further training. My work has reached diverse groups, including the general public, young homeless people, and fellow counselors seeking professional development.
In my therapeutic practice, I draw upon my extensive background in research, creativity, and personal growth to foster a supportive and transformative environment for my clients. Whether through individual sessions or group workshops, I am committed to facilitating meaningful connections and personal development for all those I work with.
My goal is to provide a supportive and transformative therapeutic experience that promotes lasting personal growth and fulfilling relationships.

Hello, my name is Diana Brotherton and I’m a fully qulaified and experienced Relationship Therapist for couples and individuals. I’m also a supervisor for other couple counsellors and an accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I offer a a number of different types of therapy, including DIT (Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy), which is a program for young adults experiencing difficulties in forming/keeping nurturing relationships with others.
Sometimes, in long term romantic relationships, the ‘raw’ and exciting love you experienced in the beginning, can shift from its original form. The shapes that love takes are intricate, delicate and unique. That’s because relationships have complex structures, much like ice crystals forming in snow, they are fuelled by our own (and the other’s) feelings, imagination and hopes.
Perhaps you are facing an impasse when trying to navigate through relationships, caught in a web of inter-relationships with others. For example, you might feel trapped in your own personal journey by others’ hopes or aspirations. Or maybe you feel in ‘competition’ within family or friendship groups, where you try to ‘fit in’ according to prescribed rules or norms. Or perhaps internal factors such as illness or psychological trauma is putting pressure on your relationship leading to emotional dysregulation.
One of my personal interests is looking at how wellbeing affects the quality of relationships with others. For example, achieving emotional regulation through making small, but meaningful changes in our lifestyles, can lead to better weellbeing. This has a positive knock-on effect on our relationships with others.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space, so you will feel comfortable enough to explore your inner voices. Which will hopefully lead to you both feeling heard and understaood, perhaps re-discovering your co-aspirations.
I iwll help you explore your relationship challenges through deep reflection and insightfulness, which will hopefully to both you and your partner, leading a happeir more fulfillling life
My approach to couple therapy is warm engaging and proactive. Which means I won’t just sit their nodding, Instead I will take an active role by using a variety of tools, where appropriate, to help you achieve the goal you have set yourself
I work in an integrative way, which means and my practice is also influenced by humanistic/existential thinking, psychoanalytic concepts and continental philosophy.

Hello, my name is Andy Spencer and I’m a fully qualified and experienced Relationship Therapist for couples and indviduals. I’m also a Supervisor for other Couple Counsellors and an accredited member of the ‘National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists’ (NCIP).
Many of us choose to share the whole, or a significant part of our lives, with another person. Therefore, in order to find happiness and fulfilment, it’s important to foster healthy relationships. In my view, a healthy relationship is where both parties are open, honest and feel safe enough to share their authentic needs with one another. However, this sadly isn’t always the case. Sometimes we find it difficult to speak to our partner, or the process gets interrupted and our relationship becomes turbulent, painful and an uphill struggle.
Sometimes external factors put pressure on a relationship. Problems with money, family or children, chronic illness or long working hours can all have a negative impact on a relationship. This, alongside not necessarily understanding each other’s relational needs fully, or how to meet them, can make matters worse. In addition to this, ineffective communication and/or dealing with differences in a defensive or hurtful manner can be a contributing factor.
I provide a safe, supportive and confidential space for our relationship counselling sessions. This will hopefully enable you to feel comfortable enought to open up and talk through and address your concerns, along with what you hope to achieve from our sessions. My approach to couple therapy is proactive. Which means I will support you by using a variety of tools (if appropriate) to help enhance your own problem-solving skills. Through doing this, you will be able explore what went wrong between you and the role you both played in the relationship reaching this point. Together, we will help you find a way through, in whichever way you choose.
Sometimes couples decide that the best option for them is to end the relationship. Therefore, I can support one or both of you through this difficult process, so are are able to separate less painfully, especially if children are involved.

Hello, my name is Stephanie, I am a fully qualified Integrative Relational Counsellor, and I’m highly experienced in working with couples and individuals. I have a CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) Level 5 Post Graduate Diploma in Relationship Counselling (Relate).
Perhaps you are seeking couples counselling because communication has broken down in your relationship, leaving you feeling hurt, resentful and/or unheard. Or maybe you are going through a period of transition and change, or an infidelity has come to light which feels impossible to overcome without professional support. For some couples, personality differences can lead to conflict and disappointment. Couples also seek relationship therapy for help in separating more amicably, or they are looking for clarity in the direction they would like their relationship to take.
I fully appreciate that taking the first step into couple therapy might feel daunting. Because you might be opening up to a stranger for the very first time, which isn’t always easy. However, rest assured, I provide a warm, empathetic environment for us to work together, at your chosen pace. Hopefully, this will enable you to feel comfortable enough to explore the challenges you are currently facing and work towards the goals you have set yourself and sustainable solutions.
When we embark on a relationship, it is right for us at that period of time and although we take care to align our values and interests, people can and do change. It is highly unlikely to remain unchanged by some of the challenge’s life throws at us.
I also have a deep understanding of how addictions, neurodiversity and mental health issues can impact relationships.
I prioritise a collaborative working relationship, which means we will define common goals and work together in order to achieve them. I don’t take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to couple therapy. Instead, my sessions are personalised and structured for your individual needs as well as the needs as a couple.
Ethical Standards – As a registered member of BACP I adhere to their ethical guidelines, ongoing supervision and CPD (Continual Professional Development) to ensure the service I provide to my clients is as effective as possible. I have both professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
I’m from the UK and have lived in the South West London area the majority of my life. I live with my husband of 7 years and a school age daughter. I have a keen interest in health and fitness and how the mind and body work as one.
My work has always involved being with people, originally in the creative industry where I designed and executed window displays. I found myself becoming more and more drawn to understanding team dynamics and supporting my team to become more self aware about their working relationships. Since taking the plunge to train to be a therapist 6 years ago I have worked as a mentor for Surrey Care Trust, Headstrong, Relate Uk and in my own private practice for the last 2 years.

I’m experienced in working with individual and couples from diverse social, cultural and religious backgrounds along with LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse individuals (ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia) and clients with minor learning and/or physical disabilities.
My core area of expertise lies in relationship therapy ,and as an Integrative Counsellor I draw upon a wide range of therapeutic modalities, which is dependent on your specific needs and problems you bring into therapy. During my therapy sessions, I use some elements of the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person- Centred therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Gestalt and Mindfulness. I also use techniques derived from EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Imago Relational Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy, when working with couples.
During both couple and one-to-one sessions, we will explore your thoughts, feelings, needs and patterns of behaviour. We will also look at childhood and life experiences, early attachments, previous relationships, your core values, love languages and also any significant events in your life that have contributed to your problems in relationship such as bereavement, illness, infertility and many others. This will help you understand your communication styles and any unhelpful patterns of behaviour that have developed over time, which might be causing problems in your relationship.
If you are looking for help in improving and strengthening your relationship, then I will encourage you both to actively participate in the therapy, by being transparent, open minded and ready to learn new skills, so that the therapy is most effective for you.
Perhaps you are contemplating bringing your relationship to an end and you are looking for help in how to separate amicably, especially if there are children or assets involved, I can also help you through that process.
I provide therapy sessions in both English and/or Polish.
I am DBS checked and hold Professional Indemnity Insurance.
As a registered member of BACP I adhere to their ethical guidelines, ongoing supervision and CPD (continual professional development) to ensure the service I provide the best possible service to my clients.
I was born in Poland but have lived in the UK for the majority of my life. I’ve been married for 30 years to an Irish-English man and have one grown up daughter (and two cats!) As far as can I remember I have also been interested in people and the workings of the mind, body and spirit.
I completed an MA in Special Educational Needs in Poland and my teaching qualifications. Along with my post-graduate diplomas in Psychology and Counselling in the UK.

Hello. My name is Rose Stephen and I am a fully qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and I’m highly experienced in working couples and individuals. I have a‘Higher Level Diploma in Couples Counselling and I’m an accredited member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).
My area of expertise is relationship therapy. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of couples and individuals find ways of resolving their relationship issues. I provide a safe, confidential space and will endeavour to help you feel relaxed enough to explore the problems you are facing in the most helpful ways.
I fully understand that the ‘one size fits all approach’ does NOT suit every couple’s unique situation. Therefore, I will always take this into account during our sessions. This means I will ask you both to take the lead to try and achieve the goal you have set for yourselves. However, if you are still determining which direction you would like the relationship to take, I will help you find clarity by providing various tools and techniques to help you get there.
The primary goal of couple therapy sessions is to assist both partners in communicating more effectively. By doing so, you will gain a better understanding of yourselves and each other. I will support you in understanding how communication can be conveyed and received by both individuals. Research has shown that life experiences can often cause miscommunication in relationships and subjective interpretations of each other’s language or behaviour. Therefore, exploring these areas can lead to greater understanding, which, in turn, can reduce any hurt, resentment, or anger that may have developed over time.
As a psychotherapist, I use different approaches when working with clients, depending on their situation and needs. This might include cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Trauma Focus Therapy, humanistic therapy and solution-focused therapy. I may also use one or a combination of these approaches to help clients achieve their goals.
Before becoming a Couples Counsellor, I gained extensive experience working in the Criminal Justice System, Drug and Alcohol Services and NHS Mental Health. My passion for the psychological aspects of care led me to become a counsellor. Because I could provide emotional support and empower clients with the tools and skills they need to take control of their lives. I always work within the ethical boundaries of the BACP and ensure that I maintain my continuous ongoing training requirements. Additionally, I am fully insured, and DBS has been checked for your peace of mind.
