Counselling in Reading

Hi, I'm Nicola. Whether you are new to counselling or have had therapy before I welcome you to an online space which for the duration of your session is yours to explore, get comfortable in & adapt to your needs. You are here because something isn’t going well in your life & the way that makes you feel isn't something you want to continue tolerating. I think it's really brave to challenge familiar patterns because even when we dislike them they can feel safer than change. But my boundaried, thoughtful counselling can support you on your journey to understand what underlies your issues & work out what to do about it.

I am experienced Psychologist, Counsellor and Psychotherapist, fully registered and acccredited by UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). As we all know, life is certainly a journey that is not always easy to travel on alone. Most of my clients describe me as being warm and empathic and consider that the process of therapy and my non-judgemental attitude has helped them get a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.

I'm Ian and welcome to my profile. I am a professionally qualified counsellor holding accreditation with the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP) and Senior Accreditation with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I have a Degree in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and a post-graduate (Level 7) qualification in Clinical Supervision. As well as my individual client work, I also regularly works in group settings. So if this might be of interest, simply ask and I will be happy to discuss these options in more detail.

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.

Hi, i'm Allison. Nice to meet you ! Well done in taking the first step in searching for support. As a Counsellor, I will support you in working through your emotional distress. I will listen to you and accept whatever you bring to counselling and provide you with a safe space to explore your feelings and whatever life's events you are facing. Together we will look at what this means for you, and plan a way forward. It's sometimes hard to think clearly, with the busyness of life but during our sessions, you will have time to think about how you feel and how you would like to move forward with your life.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stuck ? Not quite yourself ? Perhaps you’re struggling with unexpected changes… difficulties in your relationship, the loss of a loved one, health problems? Or maybe you are wanting to move on from a situation that's holding you back, recover from a hurt or disappointment or regain your sense of self and what to do with your life? Whatever our age or circumstances, there are times when we could all use some support to light our way forward and to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and our current situation.

I am a counselling psychologist with a background in a secondary care in the NHS. I work individually, with adults. Everyone is different, and everyone has a unique life full of challenges and strengths. Thus, the aim of my work is to collaboratively focus on what you may want and need me to help you. I want my clients to feel safe and accepted. I want to be with and to be for my clients, so that they are able to explore their difficulties. By working together, I aim to help my clients to understand their troubles, to accept what cannot be changed, and change what can be changed, so that they can break the cycle of hopelessness.

Our lives begin like a ball of wool , as the wool reels out so do our lives. We hope to reel out this wool to the end without encountering any major complications, or none that we cannot deal with ourselves. However, life doesn’t always turn out the way we plan. Sometimes life throws us a curveball, the wool gets twisted or knotted. Sometimes the reel gets too heavy for us to carry.Many of us can correct these temporary setbacks ourselves when they accrue, however there are times when we become overwhelmed with these curveballs and need a helping hand.
