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 West Berkshire.

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

Feeling a bit tangled up by life? You’re not alone

You don’t have to untangle it by yourself. I’m Wanda Baker, a Private counsellor in West Berkshire offering a calm, friendly space to pause, reflect, and start feeling like yourself again.

I’m part counsellor, part curious human, and the world’s most patient listener.

After 30 years [BACP Accredited ] of sitting with people as they navigate the messy, beautiful, unpredictable bits of being human, I’ve learned one big truth: people don’t need fixing — they need understanding, compassion, and a safe place to figure things out. I can walk with you into the depths of pain . I too have been in the depths of pain at various times in my life. I offer a very quick private appointment.

My style is warm, conversational, and a little bit playful. Therapy with me isn’t a solemn march through problems — it’s a real, down-to-earth conversation where we explore what’s happening in your world and what might help you feel more like you again.

I work relationally, which means I value the connection we build as much as the techniques we use. Together, we make sense of what’s going on, gently unpick old patterns, and find new ways of being that feel more grounded and free.

There are many many villages in West Berkshire, I cover them all offering a calm, friendly space where you can exhale, reflect, and maybe even laugh — because sometimes, healing starts with a smile.

The longest any one has driven to see me is three hours. That’s how much they valued the private counselling.

Curious about whether we’d be a good fit? Get in touch for a relaxed, no-pressure conversation — sometimes all it takes is a good talk to start things shifting.
