Time for you to talk – Counselling services in West Berkshire

Nice to meet you

Looking for a counsellor can be overwhelming…

Where do you start? There are over 450 different styles of counselling, so here is a little information about me and my style of working.

I am an Accredited Therapist of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy with over 28 years experience.  I feel passionate about my work and believe each person is capable of achieving their full potential.

Part of my formal training was to enter therapy myself, so as a client I have experienced a variety of counselling styles. Life throws all sorts of obstacles in our way so I have walked in the shoes of pain, loss, transition and death.

I work in a very interactive way – I do not just sit and listen. There are many ways of working with people to help relieve psychological pain. Everyone is unique and I therefore adapt my working style to suit the individual.

Whatever you’re going through

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted — like you’re just going through the motions, waiting for something to change. Perhaps anxiety keeps creeping in, or past experiences still echo louder than you’d like. It’s hard to explain, and harder still to know where to begin.

Counselling offers a space to slow down, breathe, and be heard. No judgment, no pressure — just support, understanding, and a chance to make sense of what’s going on. Together, we can work through the difficult parts and move toward something better.

You deserve to feel okay again. Let’s start where you are.

I can assist you with any of the following

Anger and anger management

Anger is usually a secondary emotion. We have to look at what is the first emotion that is fuelling the anger.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal healthy reaction. It only becomes a problem when it interferes with your performance or your every day life.

Bereavement and Loss

Grieving is the process of adjusting to to loss. There is no time scale, no method, no one way of grieving. Everyone’s journey is different.

Depression and low mood

For most people a depressive reaction is triggered by a set of life events which they find difficult to deal with.

Divorce and separation

The breakdown of a relationship can take months or years. You drift apart, lose interest in each other, are constantly under stress and frequently cannot be bothered to talk to each other

Domestic Abuse

Domestic Abuse is a pattern of behaviour by the perpetrator to gain power and control over an intimate partner or family member.

Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can be very scary indeed when you have them – especially for the first – and are in fact quiet common occurring in up to five percent of the population.

Personal Development

Personal development is about more than self-improvement—it's about self-discovery. Through counselling, you can gain clarity, build confidence, and uncover what's holding you back.

Physical, emotional and sexual abuse

I can help you work your way through the maze of pain. I can show you the life you are entitled to lead.

Rape and sexual assault

I can help you put back together the pieces of your life by using various strategies / methods in a safe nurturing environment.

Relationship problems

Couples often run into relationship problems, where one or both partners are very dissatisfied or becoming dissatisfied with the relationship.

Spiritual Questioning

Spiritual questioning is the process of exploring deep, often personal questions about existence, purpose, meaning, and one's relationship with something greater than oneself.

Stress

I can help you recognise the causes of stress in your life; help you recognise how stress makes you feel; help you with methods for dealing with stress.

Unresolved trauma

Trauma may not be the problem in itself; the trauma may not do the damage. It’s how the individual’s mind and body react in to the traumatic experience.

Ready to transform your life?

I look forward to hearing from you and guiding you on your journey.
