A decade ago, psychologists Dr Rebecca Ker and Marion Downey set out to create something special in Farnham: a practice that felt both professional and deeply personal. They were driven by a simple belief that people deserve better experiences when seeking psychological help, so they brought together like‑minded clinicians and started Carlton Psychology. Over the years their team has grown into a diverse group of therapists and psychologists, each bringing their own specialisms and sharing a passion for delivering a better healthcare experience

One of the things that makes Carlton Psychology stand out is the calibre of its professionals. The founders hand‑select practitioners they would be happy to recommend to their own loved ones, ensuring that everyone on the team is highly regarded and has heaps of real‑world experience. This high bar means they can offer a wide range of therapies for different situations and mental health conditions while maintaining a friendly, small‑practice feel. And because choosing the right therapist can be daunting, Carlton Psychology offers a free half‑hour consultation to explore your needs and explain the options available; they’re even happy to signpost you towards local NHS or charitable services if that’s a better fit.

Rebecca and Marion made continuous learning and collaboration central to their ethos. The team meets regularly to review and reflect on their work, share knowledge from research and training, and takes pride in their up‑to‑date expertise. More than anything, they love being part of the Farnham community – offering workshops, training and supervision to other professionals and treating each client with respect and curiosity. Their therapists come from a broad range of theoretical backgrounds but are united by a genuine dedication to helping people thrive

So if you’re curious about therapy or simply want to explore your options, Carlton Psychology’s friendly team is ready to chat. They might even answer a few questions you didn’t know you had – and if they aren’t the right match for you, they’ll happily point you in the right direction.
