Shana Golding is qualified with a 1st Class Hons Degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling. She is an Accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and abides by their code of ethics, attending regular supervision and continual professional development.

 Put simply, Shana's training means she is able to vary her therapeutic approach to suit your individual needs.

The relational aspect is important to Shana. The focus will be collaborative and Shana believes the relationship between therapist and client is key, so will pay attention to making you feel at ease.

Shana decided to train as a counsellor after volunteering with a charity supporting new mothers with post-natal illness, which remains a particular interest.

Shana's previous work experience is varied working in both the public and private sector.   This experience includes a busy NHS GP surgery, working with GP referred clients, as an Associate Counsellor at a women's charitable agency and an Associiate Counsellor at a London University.  She's helped client's with a broad range of presenting issues, such as depression, anxiety, loss, relationship issues, infertility issues, self-harm, work related bullying and obsessive compulsive behaviours. 

Shana's worked privately as a Partner at The Practice, a private counselling group based in Surrey. 

Shana now sees clients at her counselling rooms in East Sheen, SW14 which serves clients in the South West London area and works with both adults and young adults over the age of 17 years.

Sessions are 50 mins and usually take place at the same time and place every week.  My therapy rooms are in the centre of East Sheen,  close to Richmond Upon Thames and Barnes. There are good transport links with Mortlake station under 5 mins walk away and bus routes 33,337 & 493 directly outside.

Each session is charged at £60, for daytime appts and £65 for evening appts. Fees may be paid on the day in cash or by BACS transfer in advance. Please give 48 hours notice for any cancelled sessions, so that the cost of the session is not charged to you.

Before we meet I offer a free telephone consultation, where you can ask any questions.  The first session is called an assessment, where we get to know each other.
