Clinical Supervision and Qualified Supervisors - Counselling in RG40

It's a natural part of life that at times we experience some challenges, disruptions, stressors or significant life changes. When this happens it can feel overwhelming. Returning to an even keel can be supported with the help of a tried, tested and trusted integrative counsellor. With over 20 years of full time experience plus providing supervision to other therapists, I can offer you an unbiased, experienced and confidential space for you to work through and get back on track using any of Counselling, NLP, Hypnotherapy, EMDR helping you to return to a more balanced, calmer life. Feel free to call me anytime.

How are you feeling? If you are feeling really low, anxious or lacking confidence, you are not alone. My team and I can help using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychotherapy to make you feel yourself again. We can help with depression, anxiety and stress. We support children, adolescents and adults. We have a lot of experience working with autistic clients, clients with health conditions, people who have a twin, and those from a South African or South Asian/Indian backgrounds. It’s so important to find a therapist that you can trust and open up to, so we work hard to create a non-judgemental, confidential and safe space.

My name is Dr Luke Bosdet and I am a Principal Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC). I provide private psychological therapy in Wokingham and online. I have worked in the NHS in psychologist roles since 2012 and now lead an NHS community mental health team. I have substantial experience and specialism from working with a large variety of mental health issues, from mild to severe, recent to longstanding, and I can help you understand what you may be struggling with and make changes for the better.

We can all at times experience life as challenging and stressful. Clients contact me for a variety of reasons including:partners of childhood sexual abuse survivors, anxiety, work stress, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss of direction as well as wellbeing for men. Couples also come to my practice. Some come to improve how they communicate, some wish to find a way through their current difficulties and to find a way forward, some wish to separate with compassion and understanding, whereas others come to keep their communication open via couple tune up sessions after the main therapy has ended.

I am a compassionate and caring psychologist with over 12 years experience working for the NHS in various settings including Clinical Health, Occupational Health, Women's Health, Primary Care and Secondary Care Services. This means I can provide an individual client focused approach to the difficulties you are facing.​

I specialise in working with children, young people and their families across a broad range of mental health issues using evidence-based interventions. I have extensive experience working within NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) settings. I am enthusiastic, passionate and dedicated to supporting young people and feel honoured to have shared the journey of recovery with so many children and adolescents over the years. However, although I have particular expertise in helping this client group, I am able to work with people of all ages and regularly see adult clients.

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.

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.
