Elders (65+) Counselling in Owlsmoor

I provide a safe, confidential and supportive space. Anything that may be difficult for you to say, I will not find difficult to hear. We will work together to unravel where you are now and how you may have got there. By sharing this, we can find space to really think about what's going on and to see if we are able to find a happier, healthier way of moving forwards. Whether working with adults or children, gaining trust is something I will do my best to work towards and earn. My practice rooms are in Cheltenham (Gloucestershire), Crowthorne (Berkshire) and from the comfort of your own home (Online).

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, have experienced a loss or bereavement, or there are simply too many life-events happening at once, come and talk to me. Discussing your thoughts will help to put them into perspective and make them less overwhelming. Often, we don't like to approach those closest to us as we may feel they might judge us by what we say, or be offended or upset. This is the time when talking to a therapist is most beneficial. I will be there just for you, to help you review your feelings, understand their basis, and find the best way to improve your situation.

Are you feeling stressed, unhappy, or does life just seem too challenging at the moment? ​ Do you find it difficult to find or keep happy fulfilling relationships? ​ Would you like to be able to talk about your difficulties in a calm and confidential space? ​I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist and counsellor, and I run my private practice from a comfortable and safe room in my home in Crowthorne, Berkshire. From my previous role as a rape and sexual abuse counsellor, I have considerable experience in working with clients who may have experienced trauma either in childhood or as an adult.

You are more that what happens to you. You can be who you wish to be. My role as a counsellor is to provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore what is bothering you and begin to see things more clearly. Increasing your awareness and understanding of your thoughts and feelings, empowers and enables you to make choices and changes in your life.

By combining my therapeutic models, I am able to provide a unique approach for each client which will help you to gain insight into your issue, enabling you to bring about change. The therapy lies in the realationship between the client and counsellor, where trust and respect is developed and at the centre of each session, and is integral in the way I work. I have experience working with adults and young people, helping with a wide range of issues. Therapy offered can be either short or long term at flexible times during the day and evening depending on the needs/requirements for each client.

I have 20 years experience in working within the NHS and with Psychiatric presentation in an Acute Mental health hospital. One of my areas of expertise is in Corporate Wellbeing and work with Global Organisations and Occupational Health Companies onsite to support employees in the workplace this includes Workplace Mediation .

Therapy is your space to untangle hard feelings, difficult situations or work through past, painful experiences. Whatever your reasons or goals for coming to therapy, I'll provide a gentle, supportive relationship for you to do just that. You will have a safe space to be yourself without being judged. I'll be beside you as you make sense of things and understand yourself better. Or you might want some help to recognise unhelpful patterns that you want to change or resolve or accept those complicated feelings.

My Clients over the last 18 years have ranged from having simple symptoms ( i.e. sleep disturbances, anxiety about interviews or social anxiety ) to severe symptoms (i.e. severe depression, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality or sexual abuse). My clients are looking for tools that will help them reduce or eliminate those symptoms but they are also wanting to develop long term functional habits that will help them lead a healthier life. Most of my clients are highly functional but they are struggling with emotional issues in their relationships with childhood abuse, addictions, fears, self-esteem and others.

Do you find yourself saying ‘I’m fine’ when someone asks ‘How are you?’, but inside you are crumbling? Do you find yourself putting a mask on whenever you are around others in fear of them seeing what is really going on inside? Or do you find yourself ignoring your emotions and just pushing them away and not giving yourself the time to explore how you are really feeling? Life can be incredibly challenging at times and I understand how some life experiences can have a big impact on us and can leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused. Before you know it, you have lost direction and feel stuck and unable to find your way back.

Hello, I'm Hayley. I am a fully qualified, professional counsellor and psychotherapist who is deeply invested in the work that I undertake with my clients. You may be going through a time in your life where you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stressed and feel that you could benefit from counselling. You don't have to go through this alone, I can help. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental environment where issues can be explored. Together we can work though what it is that is troubling you with a view to enhancing self-awareness, personal strength and resilience.

Let it be anxiety, depression, parenthood, general worries, grief or another specific theme that you have in mind, nothing is too little to be explored in therapy. Taking the first step towards entering therapy might not always be easy, being vulnerable in front of a stranger might be intimidating. My goal as a therapist is to give clients a safe, empathic, warm and non-judgemental space so that we can speak freely and you can have the psychological support you need, may this be in a short-term therapy concept or longer term.

I have over 20 years of mental health experience working in the NHS and in private practice. I offer cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR). My treatments are guided by (but not restricted to) NICE guidelines. I have extensive experience of working with a range of difficulties including anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, insomnia, binge eating disorders and obesity. I will see clients for weight loss at a reduced rate and I am also a nutritional coach. Please see my website for details.

Are you going through a difficult time in your life? depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma, disorders? Finding it hard to cope? lonely, confused, lost and uncertain what to do without someone who can listen and understand you? There can be times in your life when you need someone to talk to, listen to you or just be quiet with. Often this is not possible with your partner, family or friends and you may need a different perspective from someone that is not part of your life. Counselling can help you understand your thinking, your feelings the ways in which you act, helping you to make better life choices.

My specialism is working with Couples and Families. My aim is to help you work through issues and resolve past and/or current conflicts. Each person has their own perception of what has gone wrong in the family or relationship and you are given time and space to explore and express these thoughts and feelings without blame or recrimination from others. I offer you a safe and neutral space in the presence of your loved one(s) for you to claim your identity and step into your true potential.

Do you want to talk to someone? Are you considering therapy with a qualified counsellor? If you are feeling confused, unhappy, overwhelmed or worried I can work with you.

I will listen to your thoughts and feelings, supporting you to become more empowered and autonomous. I will offer you unconditional positive regard, whatever you tell me. I do not offer advice but together we will explore your concerns so that you can be more content .
