Counselling in SL5

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.

Having reached my profile it is likely that you have something worrying, distressing or upsetting you. This may be interfering with you getting on with your life as fully as you would like. You may be considering that you need help to untangle the thoughts that are going round in your head. Often people find that it is helpful to talk with someone who is not emotionally involved to the same extent as family and friends. I aim to go at whatever pace you are comfortable with, not to judge you or tell you what to do, but perhaps to offer a different perspective, and support you in coming to your own choices or resolutions.

I am a qualified therapist with many years of experience in different mental health roles. As a therapist, my aim is to support you in understanding what might be the cause of the issues you are experiencing. Together, we can understand your challenges and quickly improve your wellbeing using a range of therapeutic interventions. I am committed to creating a safe, steady presence within a supportive environment.

My name is Dr Ashley Goff and I'm a Chartered Psychologist in private practice in Windsor. I'm an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a Chartered Scientist registered with the Science Council. I have over 15 years of experience as a Psychologist within the NHS and I also work as a sessional lecturer in Psychology at the University of Oxford and University of London. I’m a warm and empathic therapist who strives to create a trusting and genuinely caring relationship with clients. I draw on NICE guidance to inform my therapy, but also work collaboratively to find an approach tailored to individual needs.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and find out more about my experience as a therapist and how I practice.  If you, or someone you care about are struggling, and certain aspects of life are feeling overwhelming, reaching out for help is such an important first step. Many of us are affected by mental health issues at some point in life, through our own experiences, or somebody close to us. I am dedicated in helping you to better understand these difficulties and to provide you with the tools you need to achieve emotional wellbeing.

Do you want to talk to someone? Are you considering therapy with a qualified counsellor? If you are feeling confused, unhappy, overwhelmed or worried I can work with you. Do you want to make changes but are not sure what or how? Do you feel stuck in a rut or afraid? Do you feel alone, isolated or different? Are you struggling with low-self esteem? I will listen to your thoughts and feelings, supporting you to become more empowered and autonomous. I will offer you unconditional positive regard, whatever you tell me. I do not offer advice but together we will explore your concerns so that you can be more content .

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.

Are you finding it difficult to cope right now? It could be that your lifestyle is stressful, with work and/or family pressures. You may have suffered trauma or loss in your life that you are struggling to work through. Finding a counsellor isn't difficult, but finding the right counsellor and asking for help isn't always so easy. Trust your instinct and choose someone whose words you connect with. If you are struggling with stress (inc Work Stress), anxiety (inc. social anxiety), self esteem, domestic abuse (emotional, physical and sexual) or grief, call me to book a free 30 min consultation to see if I can help.

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.

As we begin to emerge from this challenging time, many relationships will be feeling the strain. Couple or individual counselling, either face to face or online can make such a difference, as we explore concerns and find effective ways forward.

I have 20 years experience in working within the NHS and with Psychiatric presentation in an Acute Mental health hospital. One of my areas of expertise is in Corporate Wellbeing and work with Global Organisations and Occupational Health Companies onsite to support employees in the workplace this includes Workplace Mediation .

I am a HCPC Registered Chartered Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have a breadth and depth of experience in the principles of Psychology spanning 30 plus years. I treat a wide range of psychological difficulties including long term conditions. I aim to make the therapeutic arena a safe and comfortable space so that you feel able to share difficult and challenging issues. My goal is to empower you with skills and techniques enabling you to move forward in life, and to maintain progress after therapy is completed.

I have trained to counsel my clients online. I know from the work that I have done that it helps people to talk to someone like me. Maybe this is because you don’t know me personally so it is easier to talk of what is bothering you. I can work with you so that you can resolve issues, learn ways of coping , talk about what is upsetting you and get on with the rest of your life feeling more peaceful and less stressed . I work with many issues some of which include bereavement, loss, anger, anxiety, depression, relationships, divorce, sadness.

Hi my name is Amy, I understand that seeking help can be scary, especially if you have felt let down in the past or you haven't ever opened up to anyone before. Healing takes time and I will be alongside you for as long as it takes to feel safe and secure in expressing difficult and painful life experiences and feelings. I won't ever try to force you to open up, sometimes I might suggest using creative tools to express how you feel if you are finding it hard to put things into words. My approach is tailored to you and what you are comfortable doing.

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.

I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or who are struggling with a life event. The cost of living crisis may have generated/intensified existing anxieties and difficulties for you and your relationships. I aim to build a therapeutic relationship with you that is unique to you and offers what you need. We would carefully work at a pace and depth governed by you, to explore coping strategies and understand what has gone on in the past, what is going wrong now and have the ultimate goal of empowering you to find greater control over your life and a different way forward to a better place.

I have a full caseload but will have availability mid to late January 2024. Please contact me in early 2024 for more information. I can offer you a safe pair of hands to support you back to safe ground. Counselling, like you, is unique. I provide a calm, empathetic, safe, and engaged professional who will listen attentively and foster your self belief to author your own life. Whether you are a young person worried about something or an adult dealing with a life transition, through therapy I can help you find a way through.

Please call or email for a complementary introductory session, discussing your needs, my practice and how we may work together. I'm a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor supporting adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, low-mood, low confidence or self-esteem, anger issues, panic attacks, relationships, racism, LGBTQ+, work, family and school life difficulties. Life happens, at times not in a good way. We wear a public face concealing that very personal struggle. I can offer the necessary personal space to express those deep innermost feelings without being judged, doubted or talked over.
