Counselling in Windsor

Reduction and control of Anxiety is my main speciality. I help people to clear their minds from thoughts, believes or habits that are an obstacle to fully enjoy their life and have peace of mind. Whether it is excessive, unnecessary worrying, depression, phobias, low self-esteem, relationship or family problems I help you to gain a wider perspective of the problem and find your way forward with a clearer more calm and productive mind.

My name is Dr Ashley Goff and I'm a Chartered Psychologist in private practice in Windsor. I'm an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a Chartered Scientist registered with the Science Council. I have over 15 years of experience as a Psychologist within the NHS and I also work as a sessional lecturer in Psychology at the University of Oxford and University of London. I’m a warm and empathic therapist who strives to create a trusting and genuinely caring relationship with clients. I draw on NICE guidance to inform my therapy, but also work collaboratively to find an approach tailored to individual needs.

As an experienced integrative, psychotherapist & EMDR practitioner, my work supports adult & child clients, from a diverse range of ethnic, social & cultural backgrounds. Valuing the relationship, my friendly approach is based on trust, where working collaboratively, will enable you to come to terms with issues you are experiencing, allowing for a better understanding. Working together at your pace, I will help you clarify your thoughts & feelings (for children I use creative play), enabling you to move confidently forward, away from unwanted patterns of behaviour, to find new ways of thinking & living a fulfilling life.

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.

My approach to therapy is friendly, respectful & totally non-judgemental. Primarily I use an Integrative Therapy based on TTM ( Transtheoretical Model of Change) based (between others) on your goals, readiness to change and the fact that ‘no one type of therapy fits all’. Psychoeducation about your symptoms, coping strategies (CBT and Mindfulness') will improve your everyday life and if you feel ready to work on the 'the roots' of the current difficulties- EMDR, Counselling and Attachment Theory would be something to explore. I adjust therapy to my clients and not the other way around.

Hello, I am Dr Kavita Deepak-Knights. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and I work with adults over the age of 18, specialising in a number of therapies, including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work with wide-ranging adult and older adult mental health issues, such as: anxiety, depression, addictions, low self esteem, personality disorders, adjustment issues, grief, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder - just to name a few!

Expressing oneself verbally is not easy for everybody. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can provide a healing and explorative experience for you as a client, facilitating you to examine your thoughts, beliefs, experiences and behaviours in a safe space with another. I work with a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, self esteem, disordered eating, grief and loss, trauma, suicidal thoughts and ideation, relationships, anger, sexual abuse, sleep, addiction, parenting, trauma and self harm.

I am a psychologist practitioner with many years experience in both private practice and mental health organisations such as the NHS and MIND. I have considerable experience working typically, but not exclusively, with anxiety disorders (e.g. panic disorders, post traumatic stress, phobias), self esteem issues, mood disorders, guilt and shame, bereavement, life transitions, anger management, life adjustment, life coaching, emotional regulations.

As a gestalt counselor, I believe we are all born equipped with resources and ability to lead fulfilling lives. However, often during childhood or later in life, something interrupts this process and we become stuck in fixed patterns and beliefs about our selves that get in the way. I see my task as a counselor to help you see more clearly what your situation is, find out how you are part of it and experiment with finding new solutions or ways to face the difficulty. I have direct experience working with adults and young people from different cultural backgrounds.

I offer Online and Telephone Counselling and a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss your requirements. l work with individual, adult clients, in a highly collaborative and relational counselling process that can lead to real change, a deeper understanding of yourself, and the enhancement of your well-being and inner resourcefulness. We look together, in a private space, at issues and sometimes at past experiences, so that we can start to make sense of whatever you are facing.

Valuing the importance of a therapeutic relationship, I base my relationships with clients on trust and partnership. Drawing on extensive experience I aim to provide a safe and non- judgmental environment where you the client feels acknowledged, listened to and supported. As we are all unique no one type of therapy 'fits' all and I therefore integrate the therapeutic models in which I have been trained to meet your particular individual needs.

I am working with adults and children in NHS and private setting. I am a senior mental health practitioner qualified in families and couples systemic psychotherapy and counselling psychology. As a person with strong values in supporting my clients, I am solution focused clinician, acknowledging the benefits of MDT work environment, capable to coordinate compex casess, to work individual and to be dedicated to my patients. I am mindful about clients needs along with the time managing, keeping in mind the goals and the outcome of therapy intervention, including the other agencies and professional involved in the clients care.

Most people go through a challenging time at some point in their lives – it may be a recent event, such as divorce, family issues or bereavement. It could be a situation you are facing daily, such as depression or anxiety. Maybe past events are continuing to have an impact on your life today - sometimes in the form of trauma or PSTD. Counselling can help you move forward in a way that suits you. My role is to support you in this, understand your needs and goals for therapy and help you achieve what you would like to achieve.

I am an Integrative counsellor and have a broad range of experience working with clients including young people and adults. The approach I use allows me to move freely between modalities while adapting and bringing together relevant elements according to individual needs and requirements. I believe the essence of my role as a counsellor is the therapeutic relationship between the client and me, developing a trusting relationship within the counselling session is essential. I involve the use of empathy, non-judgment, and authenticity. This alongside confidentiality creates a safe environment for the client and I to work together.

Feeling low, sad, anxious, isolated...relationship not working well? I help people just like you. Couples and individuals. Come and talk to me.

Deciding to be here on this page and consider counselling is an incredibly brave thing to do. It takes courage to take that step towards change, whatever form that change takes. Sometimes we think we have to just get on with it, put on a brave face, and think that no one can really help. Does this sound familiar? If you would like to take a step towards change, do something differently, understand why you feel this way, then this could be the way to do it. Everyone is different, and I will work with you to really get to know your true self, exploring your thoughts, at your own pace, to find your own answers.

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.

As we begin to emerge from this challenging time, many relationships will be feeling the strain. Couple or individual counselling, either face to face or online can make such a difference, as we explore concerns and find effective ways forward.

Life can throw challenges at us that prove too much for us to cope with on our own. I believe that we are not to blame for the difficulties we might face, and that they are the natural consequences of what we have experienced in life. If you are feeling stuck and unable to change things yourself, or repeating difficult and destructive patterns of behaviour, working with and talking with someone not involved in your life can help make profound change. Together we can explore what has helped to shape the way you are now, and how you want to be in the future, in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space.
