Counselling in Reading

As an Integrative therapist, I work with each client as an individual, looking at your issues and how we can work together to address them. With anxiety, you may need to learn how to manage it better in daily life before being able to look at its causes. You may have certain goals you want to achieve, such as improving self confidence for a specified event, which we can work on and practise in the sessions. Relationships are often a source of upset, I will help you explore what is going on and bring greater understanding of the relationship, how it is working for you and looking at making changes if needed.

I am a Certified Play and Creative Arts Therapist and I am listed on the PTUK register (accredited by the Professionals Standards Authority). The Play and Creative therapy I offer supports children and young people with a range of conditions such as: trauma, abuse, attachment difficulties, bereavement and loss, parental seperation/divorce, anxiety, low self esteem, low mood, phobias, social communication difficulties, identity issues, emotional regulation, compulsive behaviours and illness. I welcome any child or young person who requires support, whatever their difficulties or needs.

Do you feel stuck or frustrated in your life? Overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, or struggling with a relationship? Perhaps you experience episodes of low mood that are affecting you and your family. It is often hard for others to understand how we experience life, and this can lead to feelings of isolation and despair. The evidence suggests that finding a therapist you feel able to talk to and understood by is key to a successful therapeutic experience. I support my clients to explore their problems and worries in a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative way, leading to improved mental health and wellbeing.

It's a natural part of life that at times we experience some challenges, disruptions, stressors or significant life changes. When this happens it can feel overwhelming. Returning to an even keel can be supported with the help of a tried, tested and trusted integrative counsellor. With over 20 years of full time experience plus providing supervision to other therapists, I can offer you an unbiased, experienced and confidential space for you to work through and get back on track using any of Counselling, NLP, Hypnotherapy, EMDR helping you to return to a more balanced, calmer life. Feel free to call me anytime.

Therapy can be a difficult process, I offer compassion and walk alongside you as you discover your own way through life's ups and downs. Feeling heard facilitates healing and I am here to listen. With so many options available for counselling, it can be difficult to find the right one! I have worked in various mental health settings for 8 years which inspired me to train as a counsellor. As a counsellor, I have worked with adults both online and in person on difficulties with depression, anxiety, identity, relationships, work, study, stress and self-esteem.

I am an Integrative Counsellor working with individual adults (18+). I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to reflect on your life and the events that have shaped you and made you the person you are today. This can develop your capacity to understand yourself better and make choices to bring about change. Issues that I have worked with include anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, relationship difficulties, identity, sexuality, abuse, traumatic and early life experiences, addiction and dependency and faith and spirituality.

I am very passionate about my work and what I love most is seeing my clients progress. Observing their changes and seeing how good they feel within themselves is a wonderful journey to share. I offer support with all kinds of issues. You may be suffering with an anxiety disorder, depression perhaps, an issue within a relationship, an addiction or something else. Whatever your issue is, my aim is to spend time getting to know you, finding the root cause to your problem and any other factors that may have to be taken into consideration. Then, together we can work towards a solid plan for you to more you forward as an individual.

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with a variety of experience to enable me to help my clients through any issues they may have, in an empathetic, non-judgmental way. I work in collaboration with my clients and use an approach whereby everyone is an individual so, so I tailor each session to suit my client's needs arming them with the necessary tools to move forward. I have worked in the mental health environment for over 20 years, so have plenty of experience in many areas.

Reaching out for help can be tough but it’s an important first step to feeling better. You don't have to cope alone, I'm a fully qualified counsellor offering a place to explore, understand and share your difficulties. I work with adult clients who are struggling with various mental and emotional challenges. This includes anxiety, low self-esteem, work stress, relationship and confidence issues. Many clients may not be aware of why they are struggling but often it can be attributed to a trauma which may have taken place either recently or in the past. I specialise in supporting clients understand and move through their symptoms.

Are you feeling lost or misunderstood? Do you have days when it feels like it's a bit too much to cope with? For many of us, life has not been the same recently. We all, in varying degrees, have been affected by the pandemic and life with the restrictions of lockdown. As a result, some of us may have been experiencing anxiety, a disorientation and even concerns about our overall mental well-being. Some also may have felt the negative impact on family relationships, be that with partners or children, while some may have struggled with jobs and finances, or simply become anxious about the future generally.

I don't have an ideal client as I see each person as unqiue with their own set of issues and needs. I aim to explore with the client the issues they are currently experiencing and then would aim to facilitate the client to identify their needs and then explore how to establish realistic expectations of themselves and others. When we have done this I would help the client to establish their own goals and identify ways to achieve this. I would employ a variety of methods to do this based on the individual's needs so we may focus on understanding the past and its impact on the present or we may focus on the here and now issues.

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. Some 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.

I work together with my clients on their unique issues and goals. Singles, couples, families and groups. My specialties are in counseling, mindfulness, relaxation, meditation, business and leadership coaching, along with occupational psychology for companies and their managers. My practice is based in Reading and London, onsite or via Skype. The sessions range from 30 minutes to 12 hours, depending on your needs. I have over 30 years of experience and would love to help you grow, find balance and achieve success.

Are you a parent of a young person who is feeling anxious, withdrawn or depressed? Is your child experiencing panic attacks, refusing to go to school or avoiding social situations? And you – are you experiencing stress, sleeping problems, constant worrying, feeling overwhelmed? We live in challenging times in which our mental health has suffered. As an experienced therapist I understand these difficulties and how it impairs your quality of life. I appreciate your effort to look for help. I know that those difficulties can be transformed into self-discovery and personal growth, with motivation and appropriate guidance

I'm an integrative therapeutic counsellor, registered with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). This means that I work with each individual in a way that is client led integrating both humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. Counselling can provide a space to pause and look at particular areas of concern and help determine a path of where to go next. With more clarity it can make you feel freer and more empowered to create a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults. My areas of special interest and experience include Depression, Anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, and long-term health conditions.

Clients come with diverse problems and needs. What matters to my clients, matters to me. Generally, I have found problems which manifest in current life relationships (romantic, family, work, with services or with ourself) but which originate in our past experiences are those which can be worked on helpfully using the ways I work. A measure of openness to explore other perspectives and to really think about describing issues is very important as is a commitment to think outside sessions about things that may be the causes of distress.
