Counselling in SL1

I am a psychotherapist with 17 years' experience working for social services, GPs, local government and in private practice. Proficient in talking and creative therapies, I work with adults and children. I am experienced in delivering therapeutic interventions for: Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Separation and Loss, Transition, Grief, and Relationship Difficulties. I also offer Clinical Supervision.

Hello when you are stressed, depressed or anxious looking for the right Counsellor or Life Coach can be a very challenging task. I believe that it takes a strength of character to admit to yourself that you need the help of another person. I offer you a warm and confidential space where you can share with me the things that are a major concern to you at this time. I offer an initial half-hour complimentary session to establish a collaborative decision on the way forward.

Hello, my name is Lynn Turner. I have over 28 years counselling, therapy and life coaching experience, with expertise in addiction, codependency, complex and abusive relationships (including being in a relationship with a sociopath, narcissist, or someone with a mental health issue or a personality disorder). I specialise in, and have a Diploma in 'Dealing with Narcissism'. I provide a non-judgemental, safe, confidential and professional space for you to talk about, and work through, your problems. I believe the counselling relationship needs to be authentic, honest and safe in order for healthy change to happen.

I am a fully qualified, experienced RELATE counsellor offering a confidential, caring and friendly service for adults facing a range of difficulties and emotional problems. Reaching out and asking for help can be daunting, admitting that sometimes we cannot manage our problems on our own can be the first step to bringing about changes within our lives. I offer a non-judgemental and understanding environment to help you through challenging times.

Maybe life feels overwhelming and you're feeling sad, anxious or struggling with your self-esteem. Perhaps you’ve lost a loved one, suffered a miscarriage or relationship breakdown. Maybe you’ve been made redundant, or are facing retirement. Or you've taken on caring responsibilities, are finding it difficult to cope with a physical health condition or dealing with infertility issues. Whatever your circumstances, we can explore your situation and what it means to you together. Whether you wish to move forward in some way, find acceptance, have an outlet for your emotions or talk without feeling sad, I can help.

Feeling low, sad, anxious, isolated...relationship not working well? I help people just like you. Couples and individuals. Come and talk to me.

Valuing the importance of a therapeutic relationship, I base my relationships with clients on trust and partnership. Drawing on extensive experience I aim to provide a safe and non- judgmental environment where you the client feels acknowledged, listened to and supported. As we are all unique no one type of therapy 'fits' all and I therefore integrate the therapeutic models in which I have been trained to meet your particular individual needs.

If you struggle to fall asleep, can't stay asleep, wake up too early or wake up and do not feel refreshed in the morning, then I can help you. I also help parents with children who do not sleep through the night or who struggle to get to sleep with anxiety. I studied insomnia at the University of Oxford and started helping people with their sleeping problems at Trouble Sleeping in 2006. I take a thorough medical and sleep history to discover why you aren't sleeping well, and then I suggest specific tailored cognitive and behavioural changes to help you to overcome your sleep issues.

Reduction and control of Anxiety is my main speciality. I help people to clear their minds from thoughts, believes or habits that are an obstacle to fully enjoy their life and have peace of mind. Whether it is excessive, unnecessary worrying, depression, phobias, low self-esteem, relationship or family problems I help you to gain a wider perspective of the problem and find your way forward with a clearer more calm and productive mind.

I'll work with you on a deep, holistic and energetic level; focusing on the mental, emotional and spiritual. I'll go deeper than the symptom or diagnosis, treating you as a whole. I'll help guide you to the root causes of your imbalances and work on a deeper sub-conscious level. I use powerful tools to help you access, feel and heal what's blocking you from living a healthy life of joy, passion and purpose. From Reiki, to Breath Work, to intuitive guidance, creative visualisation, journaling, meditation, to gentle counsel. I use what works, for you, personally, in the moment, at the time it's needed.

Psychotherapy is a word that derives from ancient Greek and means 'liberating the soul'. Our sessions together are an opportunity to talk about concerns and issues that might be difficult to share with family and friends and that might feel overwhelming to deal with alone. It is a chance to feel supported, gain insight and make positive changes, in a way which respects your values, personal resources and freedom of choice.

If you are thinking about finding a psychologist, chances are something difficult is going on in your life and it is getting harder and harder to deal with it. Unsatisfactory relationships, anxiety, not coping with stress, are very common reasons for getting in touch with me. Know that you don't have to go through these difficulties alone. I am a Polish psychologist in the UK and I offer consultations both, online and face to face in Reading and Slough in Berkshire. I specialise in working with people experiencing anxiety, life crises and who have difficulties with having a satisfactory like. I also offer consultations for parents.

Do you often put others' needs before your own? Do you think all the time and have difficulty switching your mind off? Do you care deeply, pick up others emotions, are very emotional and also naturally empathic? <> If this sounds like you, you might be a highly sensitive person (HSP). 1 in 5 of all people have this scientifically researched but little known, inherited trait. It can be tough being an HSP in a largely non-sensitive world. I support HSP to truly flourish; to find themselves and their purpose, at home, in relationships and at work.

Life can throw challenges at us that prove too much for us to cope with on our own. I believe that we are not to blame for the difficulties we might face, and that they are the natural consequences of what we have experienced in life. If you are feeling stuck and unable to change things yourself, or repeating difficult and destructive patterns of behaviour, working with and talking with someone not involved in your life can help make profound change. Together we can explore what has helped to shape the way you are now, and how you want to be in the future, in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space.

Deciding to be here on this page and consider counselling is an incredibly brave thing to do. It takes courage to take that step towards change, whatever form that change takes. Sometimes we think we have to just get on with it, put on a brave face, and think that no one can really help. Does this sound familiar? If you would like to take a step towards change, do something differently, understand why you feel this way, then this could be the way to do it. Everyone is different, and I will work with you to really get to know your true self, exploring your thoughts, at your own pace, to find your own answers.

I'm a friendly, experienced therapist offering face-to-face, phone and Skype sessions. I deal with everything from anxiety, depression, gender, sexuality and self-harm. Therapy is at your pace so you feel comfortable and supported. Whether you have never been to therapy before or consider yourself an experience client, I offer an integrative approach that adapts to your needs. I offer short or long term therapy, and i work closely with my clients to understand how they want to approach therapy. I am experienced in dealing with anxiety, depression, self-harm, sexuality, gender and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy is friendly, respectful & totally non-judgemental. Primarily I use an Integrative Therapy based on TTM ( Transtheoretical Model of Change) based (between others) on your goals, readiness to change and the fact that ‘no one type of therapy fits all’. Psychoeducation about your symptoms, coping strategies (CBT and Mindfulness') will improve your everyday life and if you feel ready to work on the 'the roots' of the current difficulties- EMDR, Counselling and Attachment Theory would be something to explore. I adjust therapy to my clients and not the other way around.

As an experienced integrative, psychotherapist & EMDR practitioner, my work supports adult & child clients, from a diverse range of ethnic, social & cultural backgrounds. Valuing the relationship, my friendly approach is based on trust, where working collaboratively, will enable you to come to terms with issues you are experiencing, allowing for a better understanding. Working together at your pace, I will help you clarify your thoughts & feelings (for children I use creative play), enabling you to move confidently forward, away from unwanted patterns of behaviour, to find new ways of thinking & living a fulfilling life.

With a loud voice, life sometimes cranks up the volume of what already feels overwhelming. Magnifying an already tense and intense situation, leaving you pondering on how you used to manage before all this. Yet, despite your best efforts to stem their flow, fraught thoughts and debilitating feelings have began to spill over into and onto other areas of your life. It feels like challenging situations scream for your attention. You wonder to yourself how much more of this you can take before you flip the table of your life over. You've taken stock of your support system. Nobody available to talk. Who will listen to me, you wonder....
