About Me

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used to create them
Albert Einstein

Fiona Brighouse

I first qualified as a counsellor in 2008 after a long career as an HR Director in the IT Industry. After achieving a diploma in couples counselling I worked for Relate in West Surrey. During my employment I continued to study and developed my skills to Masters level in order to work with Young People, Individuals and Families. I also attained teaching qualifications to work as a trainer and workshop facilitator in Counselling Skills. During this time I set up my private practice in Windlesham allowing more flexibility in services that I can offer. After training with the National Centre for Eating Disorders I have now become a Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders and Obesity. The focus through all my work is relationships; relationships with others and ourselves.

As a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), working ethically is important to me. I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework and my work is regularly supervised. I keep up to date with developments in the therapeutic field and attend courses and other professional development activities supporting my work with adults and young people. My work is fully insured and I comply with current data protection legislation.

I use a variety of counselling models in my work including Person Centred, Systemic, Psychodynamic, CBT, Solution Focussed Therapy and Transactional Analysis believing that we all have individual needs. Where appropriate I also use coaching techniques to help with motivation and flexibility.
