Susanne Templeton-Smith

As a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist holding a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, I offer both online and in-person therapy for adults aged 16 and over in Weybridge and East Molesey. I understand that choosing to begin therapy can feel like a significant and sometimes difficult step. For this reason, I am committed to providing a warm, open, and non-judgmental space where my clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. I work from an integrative perspective, drawing on relational, humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural (CBT) approaches. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is central to meaningful change, offering a space where you can feel deeply heard, seen, understood, and accepted. Experiencing this kind of attuned connection can gently transform how you relate to yourself and others, often enhancing self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and fostering a more secure sense of identity. My collaborative approach honours each client’s unique experiences and goals. Together, we may explore past relationships and formative experiences, current challenges, and future aspirations. I may also integrate somatic awareness into our work, helping you tune into how emotions and experiences are held within the body. By noticing physical sensations, patterns, and nervous system responses, therapy can support greater emotional regulation and a deeper connection between mind and body. At the heart of my work is a therapeutic relationship that is authentic, empowering, and grounded in mutual respect. Prior to training as an integrative psychotherapist, I worked within the NHS for over 25 years in adult nursing and family health. I have extensive experience supporting women throughout the perinatal period, which has shaped my deep understanding of the emotional, relational and physical transitions that can arise during this time. My professional background informs my holistic view of health, recognising the interconnectedness of social, spiritual, psychological and physical wellbeing. Having worked with individuals across the lifespan, I was inspired to deepen my commitment to care through psychotherapy, bringing my longstanding dedication to supporting others into my therapeutic practice. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical, professional, and confidential practice.
