Counselling in Kingston upon Thames
I'm Claire Smith, a BACP accredited psychodynamic therapist (216379) based in nearby Worcester Park. I see clients from across Kingston and the surrounding area who are looking for therapy that goes beyond the surface.
Getting here from Kingston
My practice is at Manor Drive Medical Centre, 3 The Manor Drive, Worcester Park, KT4 7LG. From Kingston, you can drive along the A240 through Malden. It's about fifteen minutes depending on traffic. By train, Kingston to Worcester Park takes around twelve minutes with one change at Raynes Park.
There's parking near the practice, and Worcester Park station is a two-minute walk from the door.
Looking beyond Kingston
Kingston is a busy town with plenty going on, and sometimes that's exactly why people prefer a quieter setting for therapy. Worcester Park offers a calmer environment. There's less chance of running into someone you know, and the practice itself feels low-key and unassuming.
If you work in the town centre, a weekly session can fit around your day. From Norbiton, Coombe or Kingston Hill, the drive is straightforward. And if you've tried other approaches and want something that goes deeper, psychodynamic therapy may be what you're looking for.
How I can help
I work with adults who want to understand themselves better, whether that means working through anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, or something harder to put into words. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences shape your present, helping you make sense of recurring feelings and reactions.
Sessions are weekly, lasting 50 minutes, at Manor Drive Medical Centre. I offer both short-term and open-ended therapy depending on what you need.
