Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Reading

Hi, I’m Georgina, a Counsellor who helps women to understand what is holding them back from being happier and more confident in their life and relationships. I specialise in supporting women through the challenges that they may face during different parts of their life, including relationship difficulties, pregnancy, fertility, miscarriage, PMDD, illness, trauma, postnatal depression, domestic abuse and loss. I offer open-ended therapy, where we work together for as long as you feel that you need.

Are you looking for a safe space with an experienced trauma-informed therapist? I offer CBT & EMDR to mothers and parents to tackle low self-esteem, anxiety, & trauma/ PTSD. Perhaps you are having strong reactions to things, or maybe you are struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or nightmares. You might be having trouble sleeping or issues with food or body image. Maybe you feel disconnected, irritable, guilty, and not the parent/ partner/ person that you want to be. When things feel tough, working with someone who you feel 'gets it' and knowing the space is safe and free from judgement is really important.

Is there something in your life you want to change? Do you feel lost, unable to get on with your life? Are you looking to conquer a fear, break a habit, make a change in your life or simply want to manage the stresses of everyday living. Take a look at my website and make the first step in creating the positive changes you want in your life. Given the current COVID - 19 situation and also our busy lives and hectic schedules I offer confidential online therapy using Skype or Zoom. I am also seeing clients face to face both in my Reading and London locations.

The idea of wanting or needing emotional support may feel daunting, but the experience of receiving it doesn’t have to be. If this is your first time considering Psychotherapy or Counselling, or you’ve seen a Psychotherapist / Counsellor before, I would like the chance to listen to you. It can feel extremely difficult opening-up to a stranger, particularly at the beginning, but I hope to build your trust in me to make this easier. In return for your bravery and honesty, I can give you confidentiality without judgment.

My Clients over the last 18 years have ranged from having simple symptoms ( i.e. sleep disturbances, anxiety about interviews or social anxiety ) to severe symptoms (i.e. severe depression, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality or sexual abuse). My clients are looking for tools that will help them reduce or eliminate those symptoms but they are also wanting to develop long term functional habits that will help them lead a healthier life. Most of my clients are highly functional but they are struggling with emotional issues in their relationships with childhood abuse, addictions, fears, self-esteem and others.

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

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.

The relationship you will have with your therapist is the most important thing when it comes to working through troubles successfully. Whether you are currently looking for yourself or your child - getting a 'feel' for whether I am the right therapist for you/them without worrying about the expense is crucial- therefore I invite you to get in touch for a free phone/video consultation to enable us to get to know each other. I am warm, caring and non-judgmental- a person who cares deeply for my clients who bring a vast range of challenges. Get in touch now - I'd love to hear from you.

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.

Hi there! I am Amber, the Director of Healthy Mind Psychology. We aim to be a different type of practice. Our focus includes work with those people trying to cope with all the stresses and strains of unprecedented times upon us. But many struggle with issues outside of the normal narrative of mental health, or physical health too. Our practice aims to explain the stress response (whether that be from overdue bills, a critical family system, a harsh workplace, current or previous traumas, or a host of other things!) and the science behind how the mind/body interact to create physical symptoms, emotional distress, or bad habits!

I work together with my clients on their unique issues and goals. Singles, couples, families and groups. My specialties are in counseling, mindfulness, relaxation, meditation, business and leadership coaching, along with occupational psychology for companies and their managers. My practice is based in Reading and London, onsite or via Skype. The sessions range from 30 minutes to 12 hours, depending on your needs. I have over 30 years of experience and would love to help you grow, find balance and achieve success.

Do you feel stuck? Do you need support to make sense of what is going on for for you? I am trained psychotherapist and Transformational Coach who is passionate about helping and supporting my clients to overcome experiences that are getting in the way of them being their true selves and achieving their Goals.

I see clients from across all ages, ethnicities and with an extremely wide range of issues. I help clients to come to grips with substance abuse, depression, all forms of anxiety and much more besides. I help my clients to summon the strength to put their issues behind them. I help them to find new ways of feeling, thinking and behaving. Whatever their goals might be, I help them to realise that they're strong enough, good enough and able to achieve them. I particularly specialise in working with clients on the high functioning end of the autistic spectrum.

I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council), and a chartered member and associate fellow of the BPS (British Psychological Society). I have over 20 years of experience of working with a wide range of presenting difficulties, including anxiety, burnout and work-related stress, depression, low self-esteem, emotion regulation difficulties, ADHD, trauma and PTSD and relationship difficulties. I have worked in a number of NHS services and settings over the years, working directly with clients with longstanding difficulties, in addition to offering consultation, supervision and training.

In my work with Adults, I have worked with a wide range of issues, including, anxiety, family relationships, sexual abuse, grief and loss, self esteem, and trauma.

I am very passionate about my work and what I love most is seeing my clients progress. Observing their changes and seeing how good they feel within themselves is a wonderful journey to share. I offer support with all kinds of issues. You may be suffering with an anxiety disorder, depression perhaps, an issue within a relationship, an addiction or something else. Whatever your issue is, my aim is to spend time getting to know you, finding the root cause to your problem and any other factors that may have to be taken into consideration. Then, together we can work towards a solid plan for you to more you forward as an individual.

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.
