Irene Stone

Hello, my name is Irene Stone

I am a fully qualified counsellor (BA Hons) and NLP coach with over 15 years of experience helping people break through limiting thought patterns and behaviours that keep them dissatisfied with their lives. Besides working in my private practice in Lightwater, I am also a core member of the Brunel University London Counselling service, working with students and staff on a one-to-one basis as well as offering stress management workshops.

How I work

Sometimes we find ourselves in stressful situations, at work or at home, that feel too difficult to handle alone. I focus on increasing awareness and understanding of patterns that are keeping you feeling stuck and offer the opportunity to address these problems in a direct, effective, and supportive manner. The goal is to bring forth your best self in order to create a more genuine and passionate life.

I work with a wide range of individuals including those who experience anxiety, depression and struggle with tolerating and managing difficult emotions to those who are in need of direction in their lives at home or at work.

I hold a current DBS check UK wide.

Making an appointment

Free initial phone consultation

I offer a free initial phone consultation of up to 20 minutes. This is offered without any further obligation but can be useful to explore what brings you to counselling and discuss how we might work together. 

Appointments, which last for 50 minutes, are charged as follows:

COUNSELLING

Daytime (9am-5pm) £ 50

Evening (5pm – 8pm) £ 55

* concessions for counsellors in training £ 40

SUPERVISION

Individuals £60 per hour session

* concessions for counsellors in training

Welcome to my profile!

Choosing the right supervisor is a key step in achieving ethically sound support for your clinical practice, so I’ve done my best to provide you with what I hope will help you decide if I’m the right person for you. I am a BACP Accredited & Registered Counsellor and Certified Integrative Supervisor.

How I work

I offer individual supervision to counsellors at my private practice in Lightwater (face-to-face, phone or online). In my role as a core staff member at the Brunel University London I also work as a supervisor with associates and trainees of the Counselling Service.

I believe that supervision can offer a safe space for you to explore and reflect on issues that arise from your work as a therapist. Supportive supervision is essential to be working ethically sound and enables you to gain insights regarding your growing edges for the benefit of both, you and your clients.

About me
