Counselling in EC2A
My name is Toni and I am an HPCP Registered and BPS Chartered Counselling Psychologist working in Reading, Berkshire and online. In addition to my private practice, I worked in the NHS for over fifteen years where I gained experience working with adults and elders who struggled with a wide variety of issues including anxiety and panic, depression, stress, trauma, psychosis, substance misuse, bereavement, domestic violence, rape, personality issues, self-harm and suicidality. The knowledge and the experience I gained throughout the years enables me to adapt my approach to suit the needs of each individual that I meet.

Sometimes things in life can start to seem overwhelming; the useful strategies of the past may not be as helpful as they used to; we can find ourselves lost and unsure. This can often lead to added, despair, anxiety, and self-criticism. It can often seem hard to see a way out or to ask for help. You may need someone to listen without judgement and provide insights into understanding patterns in your life. You may also desire strategies to change your actions and the way that you think about things. The way to a fulfilling and valued life is available without a life-long commitment to therapy.

Life is difficult. Internal and external pressures are making you feel more anxious, overwhelmed or in a low mood. You would like to better understand yourself and change the habits that are keeping you stuck, learn to better manage work and relationships stress, and ultimately make conscious choices to build the life you want. You don’t have to be alone on your journey to better mental wellbeing.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious or unsure of yourself, you may be longing for space to breathe and understand what’s really going on beneath the surface. Many clients come to me struggling with self-esteem, relationship patterns, burnout, identity or the impact of ADHD and neurodivergence. Others come with a quieter sense that something in their life no longer fits. I offer a grounded, compassionate space where your experiences can be explored gently and honestly, helping you move towards greater clarity, steadiness and a stronger sense of yourself.

Are you asking big questions of life, feeling lost, hopeless or stuck? Maybe you are facing unwanted changes or undergoing a big transition in your life. Perhaps you are having difficulties in relationships or struggling to connect to purpose. Or maybe, you are experiencing chronic physical symptoms, such as fatigue, and you are curious how your emotions and past might impact those symptoms. It takes courage to seek out therapy. I hope you can honour that impulse in yourself and find the right person to work with. You have innate strength, goodness and resourcefulness; counselling is a way to undercover your unique wholeness.

This might be a time when you’re going through life’s ups and downs, or personal challenges. You could be feeling that something is stuck or missing, or that things could be better. Or maybe you want to explore and reflect on experiences or aspects of your life. It's all natural and part of being human. Know that I understand those experiences deeply, and I can relate to the feelings of being stuck or in search of something more fulfilling. Therapy provides that unique space, focusing entirely on you, your growth, your well-being, and your journey.

You’ve explored BPD, C-PTSD and Depression and related to everything a little. Maybe you’ve been “holding it together” for so long, you barely notice the weight anymore. You care deeply and overthink everything. You find yourself stuck replaying patterns or caught in a loop of shame and self-doubt. Or maybe you have a difficult relationship with your feelings. You consider leaving before anyone else does.
I work with people who are tired of just surviving. My approach is shaped by Interpersonal Neurobiology and Attachment theory and by the belief that your body remembers, you matter, and it’s okay to never get over some things.

I offer long-term and time-limited therapy.
Something I hold in mind with everyone I work with is their unique identity and how this shapes their experience in the world. What expectations have been put upon you due to who you are and the body you are in? How might you have been treated or (mis)understood by those around you?
I am particularly interested in relationships. I believe that our well-being and sense of self are strongly linked to our relationship to the world around us and the people in it. This includes our parents or the people who raised us, our intimate partners, friends and perhaps the relationships we long for.

Certain life events, transitions, or longstanding struggles can cause our usual ways of coping to break down, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and extremely distressed. To continue to function, drugs, alcohol, food, self harm, sex, social media, a depressive state or abusive behaviour can be used to numb the distress or stand in for what feels missing. But this often leads to feelings of guilt, shame, anger or blame – whether of oneself or others. It can feel like being trapped in a loop of unsatisfactory or harmful relationships, or like reaching a dead-end, with confusion about finding a meaningful path ahead.

Most people experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives and need to cope with pain and confusion. You may feel stuck and unmotivated or need to work through a traumatic experience from your past so you can move on with your life. You might also experience work related stress or be dealing with relationship difficulties. Self-development may also be the reason for seeking therapy. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and make sense of your difficulties in a safe, non-judgmental environment, to develop your self-understanding and improve your relationships.

I am a London-based UKCP and BACP accredited Integrative fully qualified Psychotherapist. I am also a trained coach so weave these two skills into my practice. I specialise in relationships – the most critical being the relationship we have with ourselves, but also our partner, siblings, parents, our children, friends and work colleagues. I also specialise in helping people in highly demanding jobs. I used to work in corporate consultancy and so know first-hand the stresses of such an unforgiving career. Thus, I am more likely to ‘get’ the struggles of what it is like in your role.
