Online counselling
Counselling for painful childhood experiences
I offer online counselling for painful childhood experiences to adults across the UK, by video call or telephone. Sessions last 60 minutes and cost £60, and the first step is a free 20 minute consultation.
The things that happen to us in childhood can shape our adult lives in ways we don't always recognise. If the past is still affecting how you feel today, counselling can help. I'm Rowena, a BACP-registered counsellor supporting adults across the UK, online.
Fee £60 / session
You don't have to carry this on your own.
Painful childhood experiences don't stay in the past. They can show up in how we relate to others, how we feel about ourselves, and in patterns that seem impossible to break no matter how much we understand them intellectually.
Working through these experiences takes courage, and it takes the right kind of support. In our sessions, we create a safe, boundaried space where you can begin to explore the past at your own pace, without pressure to arrive at any particular conclusion.
I draw on trauma-informed approaches and work relationally, meaning the therapeutic relationship itself becomes part of the healing. We go at whatever pace feels safe for you.
You might recognise some of these
- Feeling defined by difficult things that happened early in life
- Patterns in relationships that seem to repeat
- Difficulty trusting others or feeling truly safe
- Strong emotional reactions that feel disproportionate
- A sense of shame or unworthiness that has no clear source
- Feeling disconnected from your emotions or your body
Wherever you are in the UK, sessions take place online by video call or telephone, so we can meet at a time and in a space that feels right for you. Each session lasts 60 minutes, usually weekly for the first six weeks to help build a trusting working relationship.
I work with adults aged 18 and over and follow the BACP Ethical Framework for good practice.

Hi, I'm Rowena, an integrative counsellor in Surrey. I work with adults who are facing a wide range of challenges, whether it's anxiety, relationship struggles, feeling stuck, or navigating grief and loss. Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, especially when you're trying to push through alone. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can pause, be heard, and begin to make sense of what you're feeling.
As an integrative counsellor, I don't believe one size fits all. I draw on different approaches to shape our sessions around what works best for you.
As well as being a counsellor, I'm also a certified transitional life coach, and I help people navigate life's changes with clarity, courage, and confidence. Whether you're stepping into the unknown or stepping up into your full potential, I offer one-to-one coaching tailored to your unique journey.
So, if you're going through a life transition that I can help you with, contact me today to book your free 20 minute discovery call. Let's get you to a place of clarity, confidence, and moving forward.
