Di Barry: Private Counsellor and Therapist
I am a NCPS Registered Accredited humanistic therapist and counsellor using a person-centred approach, which means that my private clients are at the centre of my therapy and counselling sessions. I’m led by you and your needs, looking at all aspects of you as a whole.
My private clinic is located in Farnham, and I am based in Aldershot. I provide therapy to individuals who live across a range of locations in Surrey and Hampshire, focussing primarily on Farnham and Aldershot, and surrounding areas, including Farnborough, and Fleet.
“I truly believe that Di’s approach has given me the breakthrough that my previous counselling sessions didn’t.” Private Therapy Client, 2025
Counselling Experience
In addition to my ongoing core counselling training, I have excellent experience working in oncology at the Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital as an NHS counsellor, and I am a trauma-informed therapist (I hold a Level 7 Diploma in Trauma Informed Therapy).
This allows me to approach my work with a deep understanding of the complexities and sensitivities that come with both illness and trauma, ensuring that my private clients feel safe, supported, and heard throughout their journey in therapy.
I am fully trained to provide counselling across a wide range of specialist therapeutic areas including bereavement counselling and support, self-harm, and suicide awareness and prevention, infant loss, anxiety, sexual identity and gender dysphoria.
“Sometimes it’s only when I look back that I realise just how far I have come since I started counselling with Di.” Counselling Client, 2025
Therapeutic Approach
What I offer is compassion, warmth, empathy, openness, and honesty to my clients.
I believe therapy can help empower you to find meaning and purpose, to understand and make sense of who you are, or what you are going through, as well as learn how to accept yourself without judgement.
Above all, I want you to feel listened to and understood. It is my goal to be present with you in a way that allows you to feel safe and supported in your personal process.
