Welcome to Integral Counselling

Professional support for anxiety, trauma, and emotional wellbeing

Whatever you’re feeling or going through right now — you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to help.

My name is Wanda, an experienced and BACP Accredited counsellor with over 28 years of professional practice, offering counselling services to individuals in Thatcham and the surrounding area.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, or feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or desperate, please know this: you are not alone.

I can help you with any of the following issues

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.
