Aviva Counselling in Wallingford
I accept claims from AVIVA, AXA and WPA.
We all experience times of difficulty in our lives, when events or relationships feel overwhelming or we feel a loss of direction or purpose. Talking to a trained professional can help make sense of these challenges and offer a way forward. I provide a safe and confidential space to reflect and gain fresh perspectives.
As a Gestalt therapist, I focus on how your experiences affect your life now. I also work with EMDR and trauma-informed approaches, which can help process distressing or traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. Together, we can work towards greater understanding, choice, and a fuller way of living.

Therapy is time set aside by you and the therapist to look at what has brought you to therapy. This might include talking about life events (past and present), feelings, emotions, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. Resilience isn’t about never falling over. It’s about knowing what do to when we do fall over and how we get back up again. I won’t judge you or criticise you. I work with the uniqueness of each individual client and endeavour to offer a relationship in which you feel heard, accepted, safe and valued. And collaboratively we will work to make positive changes in your life.
