Counselling and Therapy in Godalming, Guildford and surrounding areas
Hello. My name is Maria Midson, I am a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work face to face with individuals aged 18 and over and provide either short or long term counselling in Guildford, Godalming and surrounding areas. Also, I offer 'Walk and Talk' therapy within the beautiful countryside of Surrey and Telephone Counselling.
At some stage in our lives, we all experience difficulties with life, relationships or work. We may cope or survive by keeping busy, numbing ourselves, using distraction or avoiding our troubling thoughts and feelings. If not dealt with, these strategies can leave us feeling anxious, stressed, lonely, depressed and disconnected. Friends and family can help but there are times when these feelings do not go away, or they become so overwhelming, we struggle to cope. This is when professional counselling can help.

As a warm, empathetic counsellor, I will offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for us to work together. I can help you to explore your thoughts, feelings and relational patterns of behaviour so that you can gain new perspectives on your circumstances and relationships to help you move forward. Also, with your growing self awareness and understanding, you can make positive choices to live a more fulfilled life.
Further benefits of counselling include:
- Greater self-awareness
- Ability to make positive choices to promote change
- Improved self-worth and confidence
- Increased self-compassion and acceptance
- Gaining new perspectives and understanding of yourself and others
- Changing negative relational patterns of behaviour
- Personal growth and healing
- Increased resilience and ability to manage stress, conflict and uncertainty
- Improved relationships and ability to be vulnerable
- Living more in the 'here and now' and feeling more alive
- Greater meaning and purpose in your life
Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance. Brene Brown
