Are you experiencing thoughts and emotions that feel difficult to manage? I am a qualified counsellor and  psychotherapist and have been practising for the last ten years in both London and Reading. I am a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and accredited with UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) working within an ethical framework that ensures a secure and confidential setting for my clients.

We can all experience difficult and challenging feelings at any time in our life. While the people around us can be a great source of support, it is not always easy to talk to those closest to us and this can leave us feeling isolated and alone. I am a qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I work with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, providing a safe and secure space where you explore and make sense of your concerns. I combine different therapeutic tools and approaches to best fit your needs and tailor the sessions to work for you.

Hi. My name is Michelle and I am a registered counsellor specialising in working with children and young people. I also work with many adults. I have a practice in central Reading and work online where appropriate. I am passionate about building resilience and self-esteem, promoting confidence and emotional wellbeing. I recognise that for young people, adolescence can be a scary time with many changes both emotionally and physically. The opportunity to talk to someone outside of the family unit where they can be heard and valued can be invaluable.

Choosing a therapist can be confusing and probably a little overwhelming but it is important to choose the right therapist to help you to open up about your thoughts and feelings so you can see your problems in a new way. I work collaboratively with my clients by providing a safe and confidential space for you to explore. I see you as an individual and acknowledge each one of us has had unique life experiences that will affect us in different ways.

In a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty, maximising mental health is a need across the population! We have never before had to make such sweeping changes across our workplace, family life, leisure activities, and coping strategies, causing natural anxieties about how we can maintain our living standards and daily activities in a meaningful way. It is a time where stress, worry, and low mood can be high, particularly with changes to household dynamics caring for kids, older loved ones, and the vulnerable. Both isolation and living on top of each other bring their own challenges- yet there are positive ways forward!

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.

Life can feel difficult, and we might not even know why. It can be helpful to work through our feelings in a safe, confidential, and supportive therapeutic relationship. I believe the answers are in us as individuals, and that we also benefit from being alongside someone as we explore our thoughts and feelings, and get a deeper understanding of ourselves.

I am a qualified therapist based in Mortimer. I believe we all have the ability to have the best possible life for us. I will provided you with the space to focus on yourself and feel heard. My approach to the way I work is creative and organic. I believe we are all different, we are all unique. I work in a way that is best for you, you are an individual. I provide a safe, secure, non-judgmental space to build a relationship to help you explore past experiences and relationships from.

Sometimes it can all feel like too much. When you're struggling to keep up with day to day pressures, you can wake up feeling anxious about the day, before it has even started. You can feel angry and frustrated at those around you, sometimes for the most insignificant things. You can stay awake at night replaying everything you feel you've ever done wrong and wondering when you'll ever feel at peace again. It doesn't seem to make sense, and you feel exhausted and frazzled just thinking about it. Well, I'm here to listen and I'd like to be able to give you the space to piece this all together.
