Human Givens Counselling in Henley-on-Thames

I specialise in supporting parents through the various challenges that being a parent brings. Perhaps you’re a new parent and are struggling to adjust to your ‘new normal’. Perhaps you are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, overwhelm or a feeling of being ‘stuck’. Maybe you are experiencing disproportionate levels of anger which you recognise are having a negative impact on you and your family. Perhaps you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship. Is a traumatic birth experience still affecting you? If so, I can help. I specialise in practical & positive, brief therapy.

You are more that what happens to you. You can be who you wish to be. My role as a counsellor is to provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore what is bothering you and begin to see things more clearly. Increasing your awareness and understanding of your thoughts and feelings, empowers and enables you to make choices and changes in your life.

People at times regard seeking counselling as a weakness, however in my view it actually shows great strength to seek support when you are facing issues in your life. Having the courage to look 'inside yourself' is the first step. Working together, I will be there to provide a safe and confidential environment in which we can explore a way forward together. It is a privilege to have acquired the skills to support people who are facing challenges such as: Relationship issues; Stress; Psychological Trauma and PTSD; Anxiety/Depression; Anger issues; Bereavement & Loss; & Phobias

I am a 'Human Givens' Psychotherapist (www.hgi.org.uk). Whilst my HG journey started in 2009 my work in the field began 20 years prior. I have since taught on a counselling diploma, worked as a therapist with adults, staff within organisations, teachers, parents, young people and children overseas as well as in the UK (particularly Sri Lanka). In private practice my strengths lie in flexibility and creativity - tailor-making my approach to each client. I use an eclectic approach within the Human Givens framework, knowing exactly why each varied and different technique can be effective in accordance with current neuroscience.

Many people experience highs and lows in their journey through life. It is a strength to recognise this and reach out to ask for help when you need it. With the Human Givens approach, you can start to feel better from the very first session and I am passionate about helping people achieve this.

Clients come to see me at The Well-Minded Practice when they want fast, effective new outcomes for depression, anxiety, trauma and to improve their sleep. With extensive experience working with all forms of emotional distress, I always strive to ensure that alongside specific work carried out during appointments, clients have a firm foundation of of understanding and a set of tools to continue to maintain their own emotional health proactively in the future. Using the most up-to-date psychotherapeutic understanding and techniques, I help clients move forward with their lives as swiftly and effectively as possible.

For reasons you may or may not be aware of, you or someone you know may be experiencing feelings of stress, low-mood, anger, anxiety, sadness to name a few. Small or big, such emotions can be painful and burdensome. Within a few sessions I can help you feel better + support you through life’s inevitable challenges, leading to lasting change. Provided with a compassionate + confidential space to talk, a better understanding of our emotions and a tool kit that is forever yours to employ, clients often describe feeling a sense of ‘robust resilience', ‘personal growth’ and restored ‘pleasure in life’ following therapy.

Sometimes we can find ourselves in a place where we 'can't see the wood for the trees'. We feel as if we have little or no control over ours or others behaviour. That the direction your life is taking, is going the wrong way. Accompanying this here can often be a sense of loss or injustice, of not being able to imagine a better future. With up to date psychological understanding there is a better future. Building on your own knowledge and resources we can identify your personal goals and what you want out of your appointments. This tailored approach will work with you to resolve your barriers to achieving success.

Hi, I’m Steve. I am a qualified and certified coach and psychotherapist with over 20 years experience specialising in anxiety, stress, depression, sleep, confidence and imposter syndrome issues. My approach is highly practical explaining how our minds work and providing you with a really useful toolkit to help you with coping and managing strategies.

Starting the journey to emotional well-being may seem daunting, but with the help of a kind, professional and deeply empathic therapist alongside you, it can become the most important undertaking you ever begin. Whatever issues you are struggling with right now, change is possible and inevitable as soon as you choose to explore exactly what you need and which parts of your life are not working as well as you hope right now. As a therapist I walk beside my clients and together we can explore exactly what it is you need to help you make the changes necessary to reclaim a full and balanced life.

Sometimes the smallest of steps can make the biggest difference in life. If you are suffering with anxiety, depression, past traumas, birth trauma, bereavement, addiction or sleep issues, I am here to help. Through building good rapport and really listening to you, without dredging up painful memories from your past, my aim is that you leave each session feeling more hopeful and more confident in your ability to make meaningful and positive changes in your life.

I am a registered Human Givens therapist and mindful self-compassion teacher. I understand that you want to feel better quickly. I will listen, guide and respond with warmth and respect using the best evidence-based techniques to suit you and your particular needs. These might include CBT, compassion based approaches, explanations about brain function, relaxation and visualisations together with NICE approved techniques to work on traumatic triggers. Without unduly dwelling upon the past we can deal with old difficulties, current situations and learn new skills to approach the future with a renewed sense of wellbeing.

These are some of the things people may be thinking or saying when they decide to seek professional support: "I experience awful feelings of panic." "I feel anxious a lot of the time. "I feel tearful a lot." "I can feel angry all day and it feels bad." "Life appears very confusing and complicated" I offer professional counselling, support and strategies to help you navigate your way through whatever your issues may be, already in the first session. I hold a professional psychotherapy diploma from the Human Givens Institute. This approach helped a family member with anxiety very much which is why I chose to train in it also.
