Clive Stone

I have been providing a professional counselling service for over twenty years, and having had a rich experience of life and the challenges it can bring to bear on mental health, I have some insight as to what many of us go through.

I believe that counselling is like any other good relationship it needs to be built on trust and respect without fear of challenge. I will try my hardest to help you navigate the relationships, challenges and trauma that life has given you. The complexities of your life are unique to you and together we can find the answers and unearth what is right for you, helping you to learn to work through, and ultimately resolve what is causing you pain or making your life difficult.

I have counselled many hundreds of individuals and couples, providing a safe space to talk and work through the emotional issues and health problems life can present.

Alongside my private practice I have been running Surrey’s biggest independent mental health charity since the end of the 90's, and have amassed a great deal of experience in helping adults who have mental health problems.                            

I aim to work with a small number of people providing them with honesty, where appropriate - challenge, alongside support and empathy.

“Now you have read all this you are hopefully one step closer to seeking the help you need, if

you have any questions prior to making an appointment please feel free to call or email me.

Otherwise, I would be happy to book a preliminary session for you to discover if this is the right course of action for you"

As detailed my practice is predominately Person Centred therefore, I strive for equality within the supervisor / supervisee relationship but recognise there will be times when this could need to be more reflective; guided or gently challenged, dependent upon need and/or experience. In my experience it is impossible to write a generic statement that alludes to "one size fits all" therefore, it is simpler to invite you to contact me for an initial conversation.
