Some Monday slots have recently become free. Please contact me if this could work for you and we can set up a free consultation.

One of my guiding principles for therapy is to encourage and build autonomy and resilience in my clients. 

With the each client I explore their issues alongside their ideas about how they would like things to be. We jointly explore their experiences in life and how and when their issues presented themselves.

Between us we look what could have driven the current mix of behaviour, thinking and feeling. Relief and healing comes from being able to talk and express feelings, building self awareness and understanding; trying new ways of thinking and behaving; and re-integration.

This happens generally in cycles. How far / deep we get is different for each client and guided by them.

In my Newbury practice I offer counselling for adults of all ages (16+). I have helped clients with a broad range of issues and generally those who have lived a long time with difficult feelings.

I create a safe and open environment to talk, discuss and find or develop their purpose; growing in self worth and self acceptance. 

I offer both short and long term work. Usually starting with 6 weekly sessions.

My standard fees are set for affordability (increasing in April) with a reduced rate for the lower paid. 

Please contact me in the first instance by email for a FREE CONSULTATION.

I combine evidence based approaches to the treatment of mental health conditions within a supportive and safe environment. 

Through exploration and curiosity, I explore with clients their current experiences and the roots of their issues, difficult feelings and behaviours. Then we find ways to re-appraise, adjust, revise, change perspective and come to terms with things. 

I use simple and accessible models with clients to help them to understand, without judgment, what may be happening for them and how through working together they can change things.

Each therapy journey will be specific to the person, the issues, the identity and the aims.

FREE CONSULTATION

In this conversation we will explore the issues you are facing. I will explain my approach and you can ask me any questions you have. If you are comfortable to proceed we will organise our first therapy session

The first session is about gaining specific information about you, your relationships, your background, your issues, hopes and fears and relevant medical information. 

We can discuss how we will work together and I will explain how your privacy  will be protected.

I will require the details of your GP and the contact details of a trusted adult, as an emergency contact.
