Infidelity Counselling in Bracknell

My focus is on creating a warm and accepting environment where each person is accepted unconditionally. There is no personal, relationship or family issue that will either surprise or deter me from working with you and the members of your family to hopefully find solutions and resolve past or current conflicts. Each person has their own perception of the story to tell 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 space in the presence of your loved ones in order for you to claim your identity and step into your true potential.

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.

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.

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.

Hi I’m Marta and I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I adapt my work to the client in front of me and their specific needs and wishes. I work with clients both long-term and short term online and by phone. I provide therapy both in English and Portuguese.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and find out more about my experience as a therapist and how I practice.  If you, or someone you care about are struggling, and certain aspects of life are feeling overwhelming, reaching out for help is such an important first step. Many of us are affected by mental health issues at some point in life, through our own experiences, or somebody close to us. I am dedicated in helping you to better understand these difficulties and to provide you with the tools you need to achieve emotional wellbeing.

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.

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.

I am an experienced, qualified counsellor. Counselling offers a unique and compassionate experience based on forming a relationship of trust and respect. I work with individual adults, couples and young people helping them to make sense of their lives, life events, thoughts and emotions. I have spent time working in schools with young people and their parents helping them to deal with the difficulties and challenges life can bring, especially in this age of social media. I offer a safe and non-judgemental environment in which I can help facilitate reflection and clarity on life events, thoughts and emotions.

I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or who are struggling with a life event. Covid-19 may have generated or intensified existing anxieties and difficulties for you and your relationships. I aim to build a therapeutic relationship with you that is unique to you and offers what you need. We would carefully work at a pace and depth governed by you, to explore coping strategies and understand what has gone on in the past, what is going wrong now and have the ultimate goal of empowering you to find greater control over your life and a different way forward to a better place.

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.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in Wokingham. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council and Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists. My work is psychoanalytic in nature and offers open ended treatment. This kind of therapy is based on the idea that what we experience as a conscious difficulty in the present may point to an unconscious problem with roots in the past. You may find you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, self-destructive behaviours or difficulties at work or in relationships and want to have a better understanding of what underpins these issues.

Welcome to my page. I am an experienced and qualified psychotherapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, and I run my private practice from a comfortable and safe room in my home in Crowthorne, Berkshire. As a humanistic therapist, I use different ways of working with you depending on your needs. My focus however is always on our therapeutic relationship, as I believe this is the most important factor to enable change to happen in a safe and trusting environment. I believe that counselling can give you the space to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions, and the clarity to make any changes you may feel you need.

I specialise in working with Anxiety, Depression, survivors and victims of Narcissistic relationships and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) otherwise known as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD).

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a primary training in Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (Certified Transactional Analyst in Psychotherapy-CTA-P) and supplementary full training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level 1 and Level 2) and EMDR. I also hold a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am a Master NLP Practitioner (prior to become a psychotherapist I practiced Coaching since 2007). I have treated clients with a large variety of conditions - see https://www.presentingpast.co.uk/overview-five.

Are you looking to work through what is troubling you in a safe, respectful and supportive environment? I work as an Integrative psychotherapist/counsellor drawing from a range of theories and techniques including person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT based on your needs and what suits you best. I offer both short and long-term therapy, working alongside you on your journey to make the changes you choose to make. Together, we can start to uncover the root of your issue and work at a pace that suits you.

In our modern society there are so many potential situations where life can become difficult without warning. Some people may have experienced difficulties throughout the whole of their lives, some may have experienced changes to their circumstances that have led to difficulties arising in their teens, 20s, 30s or further into adulthood. Some people may not even have been aware that their circumstances and experiences have led them to a place where they needed help. Whatever a person’s life experiences, everyone deserves an opportunity to heal, develop a stronger sense of self, or just understand themselves better.

I am a Psychologist and Counsellor with over 20 years full-time NHS experience and a further 8 years in private practice. I have helped thousands of clients (both individuals and couples) successfully overcome their difficulties. My areas of expertise cover all relationship issues and sexual matters including sexual addiction, sexuality and sexual disfunction. During my career I have taught medical students and GP's on specific areas within my field of expertise.

My Clients over the last 15 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 functional but they are struggling with emotional issues in their relationships with addictions, fears, self-esteem, abuse. Do call and discuss your concerns.
