Clive Stone

I am a practising Supervisor for experienced therapists and have frequently provided clinical supervision for students in placement from Universities of Surrey; Roehampton; London Met & also for Undergraduates attending Guildford and Farnborough Colleges. I have been practising psychological based therapies since the 1990's. 

I hold a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling (encompassing Person Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis).

I have also studied Existential therapy and a degree in Applied Psychology, alongside undertaking numerous counselling and mental health certificated courses as detailed below.

I lecture on mental health awareness, Stress in the Workplace and advise and support organisations following critical incidents.

I hold an Accredited membership of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and currently working toward Senior Accredited status.

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.

Making the right choice

You may be looking towards counselling because life feels difficult, confusing or overwhelming. I can dedicate space where you can talk at your own pace, explore what is happening and consider what may help.

I have provided professional counselling for more than twenty-five years. My own varied experience of life and its challenges has also given me insight into some of the ways difficult circumstances can affect our mental health.

I believe that, like any good relationship, counselling needs to be built on trust and respect. It should provide support while also allowing space for thoughtful challenge. I will work alongside you as you explore the relationships, experiences and difficulties that have affected you. Your life and circumstances are unique, so we will look together for an approach that feels right for you and helps you understand and work through what is causing pain or making life difficult.

Alongside my private practice, I have led Surrey’s largest independent mental health charity since the late 1990s. This has given me extensive experience of supporting adults with a wide range of mental health needs, including anxiety, depression and experiences associated with diagnoses such as schizophrenia.

If you have any questions before making an appointment, you are welcome to call, text or email me. We can also arrange an initial session to explore what you are looking for, whether counselling feels like the right next step and whether I am the right counsellor for you. There is no need to have everything worked out before you get in touch.
