Counselling in RG10

Do you need a confidential, non-judgemental space where it is safe to explore and find new ways to be? We all experience times of struggle and need emotional support; working with a therapist provides a space where there is no additional agenda and you are the most important person in the relationship.

I don't have an ideal client as I see each person as unqiue with their own set of issues and needs. I aim to explore with the client the issues they are currently experiencing and then would aim to facilitate the client to identify their needs and then explore how to establish realistic expectations of themselves and others. When we have done this I would help the client to establish their own goals and identify ways to achieve this. I would employ a variety of methods to do this based on the individual's needs so we may focus on understanding the past and its impact on the present or we may focus on the here and now issues.

Have you been feeling stuck, or in a low mood recently? Has life been getting on top of you? Or has a particular unexpected life event completely thrown you - leaving you questioning everything? Sometimes we can feel angry, low, anxious or tearful and we need to seek some professional support to help us develop a clear perspective and a way through to coping again. One client I supported said: "Seeing Catherine was without a doubt one of the best things I've done in my life. Her calm bespoke guidance & wisdom has helped me feel human and made me a better father and husband."

Hello, I’m Anjali Bonner Hughes. I am a qualified integrative psychotherapist who works with a full spectrum of issues that may be affecting your quality of life. Therapy can be useful in understanding anything that is blocking your full flourishing, and can help facilitate your personal growth, whatever you define that to be. I am experienced in relationship or family difficulties; anxiety, stress, and panic attacks; low mood and depression; childhood distress or trauma; loss or bereavement; times of change or transition; low self-esteem or questions about identity; and uncertainties about meaning and purpose.

If you're reading this, it's likely that you're feeling the need to seek some help and support in your life, and perhaps make some changes. You may have something specific that you're looking to change or gain help with. It may be that you're feeling stuck, experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, uncertainty and/or feeling overwhelmed. Counselling can be an incredibly valuable tool to help, regardless of the issue. I am experienced in working with clients dealing with and experiencing a wide range of issues. These include, but are not limited to problems in relationships, self esteem, bereavement, anxiety and depression.

My name is Christine Boyd and I have been a practising counsellor and psychotherapist in the Thames Valley, (Sonning Common) near Reading, RG4 and in Paddington, London W2 for the past seventeen years. I am fully committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment.

I believe that every person has an inner potential to make their own choices in life and we have to connect with our inner self to explore and discover that potential. Would you like to discover your inner potential? I am trained in person-centred approach whose main pillars are empathy and unconditional positive regard along with being non-directive. This ensures that it is your time to explore your thoughts and your feelings at your pace. I also work with females who have experienced domestic violence, childhood trauma, sexual abuse in order to support them and help them find their own self thus empowering them to face the world.

Do you feel stuck or frustrated in your life? Overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, or struggling with a relationship? Perhaps you experience episodes of low mood that are affecting you and your family. It is often hard for others to understand how we experience life, and this can lead to feelings of isolation and despair. The evidence suggests that finding a therapist you feel able to talk to and understood by is key to a successful therapeutic experience. I support my clients to explore their problems and worries in a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative way, leading to improved mental health and wellbeing.

Thoughts, feelings concerns cannot be deleted and the harder you try to avoid or suppress them the greater the hold they have and the more they will interrupt your daily life. As daunting as it feels, the way to manage difficult thoughts is to explore and understand why it is that they are making you feel a certain way, whether they have a purpose whether they are rooted in your past and affecting you in the here and now. Through exploration comes understanding. Through understanding comes acceptance and with that the freedom to choose how you move forward.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR qualified, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in Wokingham. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council and Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists. My work is psychoanalytic in nature and offers open ended treatment. This kind of therapy is based on the idea that what we experience as a conscious difficulty in the present may point to an unconscious problem with roots in the past. You may find you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, self-destructive behaviours or difficulties at work or in relationships and want to have a better understanding of what underpins these issues.

I have been working in the NHS for more than 7 years and split my time between working in the NHS and Private Practice. I am experienced working with people with a wide range of mental health difficulties including those who have been admitted to hospital. I am experienced in the assessment and treatment planning with individuals to help guide interventions that are meaningful for the them.

Hello. Are you feeling unsettled, unhappy, not as bubbly as you once were? Do you need help working through relationship difficulties? Have you experienced trauma that you want to move past?

You might be feeling anxious or stressed with what life is throwing at you at the moment. These are all issues that I am working through with current clients, as well as many other things.
