Sanna Gudgeon

I have daytime and evening availability on Monday-Thursday for face to face, online or telephone sessions. 

Please contact me for my current availability. 

I am a BCAP registered psychodynamic counsellor supporting adults who are struggling with a range of emotional and psychological issues and difficulties including anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement, domestic abuse, trauma, relationship issues and work related stress. 

Together we can look at where you are in your life now and where you would like to be. You may feel that something in your life isn’t quite right. You may be feeling dissatisfied or distressed. You may want to explore the past or process difficult life events. You may be looking for someone to talk things through other than friends or family. Whether you come to therapy with a clear sense of what you want to change, or simply with a feeling that something needs to shift, I am here to work alongside you. Through building a trustful therapeutic relationship, together we can make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences, so you can find a way forward.

My approach is psychodynamic, which means I’ll support you to explore how early relationships, and past experiences may be contributing to your feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour now. There may be things out of your awareness that are painful or keeping you stuck. I will work at your pace to strengthen your sense of self and develop new perspectives. 

I provide a safe, empathetic and non-judgemental space to talk and explore any difficulties you may be experiencing with no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

As well as my private practice, I have experience working for a Hertfordshire based counselling service, working with a wide range of issues. I bring curiosity and care into each session so you can feel heard and supported.

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in Education. This background gives me insight into the impact that work related stress, and challenges can have on mental well being, alongside the the everyday pressures people face in balancing their professional and personal life.

I work from therapy rooms in Hertford and Cheshunt. 

I also work online via Teams or over the telephone.

If you are considering therapy and would like to explore whether we could work together, please feel to contact me to arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation. This is a chance for us to talk through what you are looking for in therapy, any questions you may have and whether I may be the right person to support you. If you wish to proceed, we can book an initial session which costs £60, with no obligation to continue.
