Counselling in Bracknell

Life can be tricky and struggling to keep your head above water can enhance overwhelming feelings. Perhaps it may lead you down a path of isolation, loneliness and the possibility of embarrassment that may prevent you from reaching out to family and friends. Finding a counsellor can be daunting and I believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is key for therapeutic change. I encourage my clients to safely explore any issues bought into therapy in an attempt to gain a greater understanding, begin to heal and grow within an environment that is non-judgemental. Please do get in touch if you have any questions.

Hi my name is Amy, and I work with Arlo who you can also see in my picture. We understand that seeking help can be scary, especially if you have felt let down in the past or you haven't ever opened up to anyone before. Healing takes time and we will be alongside you for as long as it takes to feel safe and secure in expressing difficult and painful life experiences and feelings. I won't ever try to force you to open up, sometimes I might suggest using creative tools to express how you feel if you are finding it hard to put things into words. My approach is tailored to you and what you are comfortable doing.

Life can throw so many different situations at each and every one of us. Sometimes those situations are too difficult to deal with and can be overwhelming. In those times, it can seem difficult to know who to talk to without feeling some sense of failure and possible shame, that you have not been able to do what others seem to be able to do so easily. Embarrassment may stop you from wanting to talk to family or friends or you may feel that you are not understood by those around you. This can increase a sense of isolation or loneliness creating more anxiety and possible depression.

As a Gender, Sexual, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapist, my aim is to help you explore all aspects of your gender, sexuality, and relationships. I offer full acceptance of who you are. I will work positively with you and support your gender and sexuality. Whatever you bring I feel we will be able to explore together, leading to greater self-acceptance, plus greater personal peace. No issue is considered more important than another. Every area you bring is of unique importance. We are each unique, so the way we work together will be unique. My aim is to help you in your journey.

Counselling can provide a place for honesty for all the battles in our heads, from medically diagnosed conditions, past trauma, sexual desire, issues of gender, to everyday compulsive negative thinking. Understanding our own experience, in a world that seems to change so rapidly, surrounded by seemingly limitless information that offers wholly contradictory explanations can leave us feeling isolated and overwhelmed. Finding, and maintaining, personal meaning amongst so much uncertainty is tough. Counselling can reduce anxiety and deepen understanding as we strive to create personal harmony with both internal and external tensions.

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. Do you want to make changes but are not sure what or how? Do you feel stuck in a rut or afraid? Do you feel alone, isolated or different? Are you struggling with low-self esteem? 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 .

Providing a safe, supportive space, I employ a Relational Approach, using the unique therapeutic relationship between me and each client as a way for us to mutually understand the personal dynamics of each person - how they interact with themselves, and with the world - and to help facilitate personal change.

Life is full of its ups and downs, and during the difficult times it may feel, for some, that there is no one to turn to. It can be daunting asking for help and sometimes it feels like no one understands what we are going through. However this does not need to be the case, as you can get support and understanding through counselling. It's really about finding the right counselling relationships- if you've tried before and it didn't work... it was the wrong therapeutic realtionship- please don't give up, You are worth not giving up for.

We can all at times experience life as challenging and stressful. Clients contact me for a variety of reasons including:partners of childhood sexual abuse survivors, anxiety, work stress, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss of direction as well as wellbeing for men. Couples also come to my practice. Some come to improve how they communicate, some wish to find a way through their current difficulties and to find a way forward, some wish to separate with compassion and understanding, whereas others come to keep their communication open via couple tune up sessions after the main therapy has ended.

Counselling can be an incredibly valuable tool to help, regardless of the issue. I am experienced in working with clients dealing with and experiencing a wide range of issues.

Do you ever feel like your life is out of balance for some reason? Have you lost yourself in your busy life of putting everyone else first or is work taking over? Perhaps your greatest desire is to have a baby but it's just not happening or if you are pregnant, has it proved a mixed bag of emotions? Maybe the birth wasn't as expected and you're left feeling guilty, angry or frustrated. And if you're coming to the end of your reproductive journey, have the symptoms of the menopause come as an unwelcome surprise?
Pax Counselling
Counsellor, MBACP
Thoughts, feelings concerns cannot be deleted and the harder you try to avoid or suppress them the greater the hold they have and the more they will interrupt your daily life. As daunting as it feels, the way to manage difficult thoughts is to explore and understand why it is that they are making you feel a certain way, whether they have a purpose whether they are rooted in your past and affecting you in the here and now. Through exploration comes understanding. Through understanding comes acceptance and with that the freedom to choose how you move forward.
Joanna Prior

My approach to therapy is friendly, respectful & totally non-judgemental. I encourage all my clients to safely explore any issue(s) that might bring them to therapy in an attempt to move them positively and confidently towards their end goal. Cited for my excellent interpersonal communication skills, I foster a deeply empathic understanding with my clients and have the flexibility of offering counselling in 3 languages - English, Greek or Polish. My passion is working with children and adolescents helping them to fulfill their potential but I equally enjoy peer level therapy with individuals or couples seeking emotional support.
