Conny Golde, NCPS, BACP

Conny Golde welcomes clients with a calm, empathetic approach and a clear commitment to helping people find greater clarity and healthier relationships. Based in Southampton and practising in English and German, she brings four years of clinical experience to work with individuals facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties and anger management. Her practice supports both short-term and longer-term counselling, tailored to each person’s individual needs and goals.

She believes therapy is most effective when grounded in mutual trust, respect and an open attitude toward growth, and she works holistically to consider a client’s whole life. Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are often integrated into sessions to help clients recognize patterns and develop coping strategies, while other conversations focus on meaning, values and improved connection with others.

Conny is a qualified counsellor and holds credentials with NCPS and BACP, reflecting her professional affiliations in the counselling field. Her typical availability is Monday 8am to 5pm, Tuesday 3pm to 5pm and Friday 2pm to 7pm, and she aims to meet clients with warmth, careful attention and a collaborative spirit.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Conny uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to support clients in different ways. ACT helps people develop psychological flexibility by accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the client’s own insights and priorities drive the work - this approach supports self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief. CBT offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop new coping strategies, often useful for mood and anxiety-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Conny collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so that therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it possible to access care with greater flexibility. These options help clients fit sessions around work, family and daily life, support ongoing progress between meetings and allow continuity when in-person attendance is difficult. Licensed professionals can provide meaningful, effective support through these remote formats, and Conny tailors the mode of contact to what works best for each client.
