Humanistic Counselling in Goring

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. I work collaboratively with my clients by providing a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space to explore. I see you as an individual and acknowledge that each one of us has had unique life experiences. As a Humanistic counsellor, I believe that you have the tools within yourself to make the changes you want and find the answers you are searching for. Your reasons for seeking professional support can be as diverse and unique as we each are.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a primary training in Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (Certified Transactional Analyst in Psychotherapy-CTA-P) and supplementary full training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Level 1 and Level 2) and EMDR. I also hold a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am a Master NLP Practitioner (prior to become a psychotherapist I practiced as a Coach since 2007). I have treated clients with a large variety of conditions - see https://www.presentingpast.co.uk/overview-five.

Counselling & Psychotherapy are positive and practical steps you can take to initiate change and improve your life, I offer you a confidential space where you will be seen and heard in a caring non-judgemental way.

We might all experience times in our life when we're struggling to cope, and when we do, talking our problems through with someone who understands us can be just the thing that lifts the weight from our shoulders and allows us to find a new path forward. Although I try to shy away from labels and diagnosis, I've helped people suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and anger management issues, and more. It's vital that you feel comfortable talking to your counsellor, and so I offer a half price first session to help you decide if I'm the right person for you.

I'm Natalie, an integrative therapist working with adults, young adults, and children. I believe in everyone's right to mental and emotional well-being, acknowledging that life can get complicated, requiring help to find our way back to happiness. Witnessing transformations daily, I firmly believe that every person can experience change and growth, regardless of circumstances. You possess an incredible capacity for change, and my commitment is unwavering—to empower you, instilling belief in yourself, and guiding you toward a life aligned with your authentic self.

I'm an integrative therapeutic counsellor, registered with the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy). Counselling can provide a space to pause and look at particular areas of concern and help determine a path of where to go next. With more clarity it can make you feel freer and more empowered to create a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling. I currently work with individuals and couples; and have completed focused training on couple therapy and relational issues.

Reaching out for help can be tough but it’s an important first step to feeling better. You don't have to cope alone, I'm a fully qualified counsellor offering a place to explore, understand and share your difficulties. I work with adult clients who are struggling with various mental and emotional challenges. This includes anxiety, low self-esteem, work stress, relationship and confidence issues. Many clients may not be aware of why they are struggling but often it can be attributed to a trauma which may have taken place either recently or in the past. I specialise in supporting clients understand and move through their symptoms.

I am passionate about working with people towards a more fulfilling and empowered life. Together we can explore, not what's wrong with you, but what's happened to you. A greater awareness of ourselves can allow a greater compassion for ourselves and enable us to make choices more suited to our real needs. Life can sometimes be difficult through no fault of our own. I aim to create a safe, empathic and non-judgmental environment so you can talk freely and confidentially as we explore these things together in your session.

You matter. No matter what you've done or what you're going through, you deserve to be heard and have a safe space where you can be 100% yourself. I realise that it can be really daunting looking for a counsellor or coach to connect with and I really appreciate that you're reading my profile right now. Whatever you are going through, whatever pain, troubles, difficulties or road blocks you may be experiencing, I'd love to connect and help you look at the options available to improve your quality of life. I'm passionate about supporting my clients. Thank you again for your time and I hope that you find the support that you need.

I am a Senior Counselling Psychologist and MBT Practitioner with a background in the NHS. I work individually, with adults. Everyone is different, and everyone has a unique life full of challenges and strengths. The aim of my work is to collaboratively focus on what you may want help with. It's important to me that you feel safe and accepted, enabling you to explore your difficult experiences, understand what troubles you, accept what cannot be changed, and change what can be changed. This therapeutic process can help you learn how to break the cycle of hopelessness and find helpful ways out of your experiences of stuckness.

My name is Sarah, and I am a pluralistic counsellor who uses different modalities to suit your needs. I will work alongside you to help you become more self-aware about your feelings and develop coping strategies to achieve your goals.

I offer confidential, client focused psychotherapy, Face-Face & Zoom worldwide . Through dialogue and the shared exploration of your life, you may find relief from recurring problems, live your life more fully and realise your full potential. Therapy is a personal and individual process of change, as well as understanding. This is an opportunity to take time and space to think about yourself and the problems you may be facing. By talking to a trained psychotherapist you may find it easier to understand how past experiences, thought patterns and behaviour, or anxieties about the future are causing difficulties in your daily life.

Do you feel that your needs aren’t being acknowledged, let alone met; that no one really listens to you? Perhaps you feel worthless, or you are unsure where to turn for unbiased support? Maybe you are really tired of the challenges of life and need a space to work through your thoughts. Or facing a life changing event and need the strength to move through it? Do you feel you have 'lost' who you truly are? We can work together to process these feelings and grow your awareness of potentially different choices moving forward. Counselling is an opportunity to regain control of your life and feel more confident in your skin.

I offer short or long term therapy for a range of issues from providing support for everyday life problems to specific targeted trauma treatment. I work with memories and dreams in an analytical way to facilitate psychological growth and health.

I support Children and Young People with counselling through face to face conversations, therapeutic exploration and / or play. This enables a child or young person to express, explore and make sense of events and experiences that are hard to verbalise or articulate. It is a non-directive and client-centred approach to therapy that allows the client the opportunity to play out, talk about and work through feelings and emotions within a safe and therapeutic environment.

The idea of entering therapy can feel daunting, at what may already be a difficult and overwhelming time. It’s essential you find a counsellor you feel comfortable sharing things with and I don't want you to pay for my time until you know we’re the right fit. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute online chat to understand your situation, needs and how I might help. Whatever your circumstances, we can explore your situation and what it means to you together.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life,  feelings of anxiety and depression disrupting our wellbeing, making us feel less than acceptable to ourselves and others.  Difficult or traumatising experiences in the past can leave us feeling stuck, alone, fearful or angry. We might be stuck in a flight/flight/freeze response blighting our ability to be in the present moment unable to lean into the people in our lives. Safely speak your truth, express you deepest feelings, learn about yourself in a safe therapeutic space where you could explore these experiences transmut trauma into wisdom and become nearer to being your best self.
