Katie Perryman

I see clients Monday - Thursday, 11 am - 6 pm.

I am a professional therapist specializing in supporting adolescents and young adults (12 – 25 years old). I help my clients to overcome everyday life problems that are causing unhappiness or anxiety, as well as serious mental health issues such as eating disorders, OCD, depression, and self-harming behaviour.  For eating disorders I am fully trained (NCFED and CREDO) and able to offer psychotherapy and Enhanced CBT to facilitate recovery.

I can also support individuals struggling with loss and grief. 

I integrate a variety of therapy models, including Internal Family Systems, DBT and CBT alongside my core modality - person-centred counselling.

I work from my purpose-built, comfortable and spacious counselling room on the outskirts of Woking, near to Guildford. There is off-road parking for clients/carers and toilet facilities available. I can offer flexible timings and after school appointments.

My room is designed to be warm and welcoming, offering a calm, safe space for my clients, as we begin our therapeutic journey together. 

I offer a free telephone conversation with my client, or their parent/guardian, before meeting face-to-face. This allows me to establish the nature of the difficulties being faced and my client (or their parent/guardian) to get to know me a little. If we both feel a therapeutic intervention could help, I would offer a first session at my usual rate. 

The first session is an opportunity for my client to ask any questions they may have and begin to explore with me any issues that are causing difficulties in their life at home, at school/college, or at work. I will explain what I can offer, and describe CBT-E in more detail if appropriate.

For some clients, it may be appropriate to have an assessment during this session to determine the nature and severity of an eating problem. I offer a longer session (80 minutes) if this is required.
