Online counselling
Counselling for shame and guilt
I offer online counselling for shame and guilt 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.
Shame and guilt can be some of the most painful and isolating emotions we carry. Counselling creates a space where these feelings can be looked at honestly, without judgement. I'm Rowena, a BACP-registered counsellor supporting adults across the UK, online.

You don't have to carry this on your own.
Shame, the feeling that you are fundamentally bad or defective, is different from guilt, the feeling that you have done something wrong. Both can become overwhelming, and both can prevent us from living fully and connecting with others.
Many people carry shame and guilt privately, certain that if others knew what they thought or felt or had done, they would be judged or rejected. The therapeutic relationship itself can be part of what heals this: being fully known and not rejected is a profoundly corrective experience.
We work gently and at your pace. There is nothing you need to have resolved before you come, and nothing you need to present yourself as. You can come exactly as you are.
You might recognise some of these
- A pervasive sense of being bad, wrong, or fundamentally flawed
- Hiding parts of yourself for fear of judgement
- Persistent guilt over something from the past
- Difficulty forgiving yourself even after making amends
- Feeling unworthy of care, love, or good things
- Shame about your emotions, your body, or your history
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.
You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out.
Choose a time that suits you and take that first step. If it feels easier, you can start with a free 20-minute telephone consultation, a simple, no-pressure conversation to help you decide what's right for you.
