Could you benefit from a calm place to explore your thoughts and feelings? I have been a practising counsellor in the Thames Valley, near Reading, and in London for the past seven years. I am fully committed to providing counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I work with individuals for an agreed time period or on a longer-term basis, with couples or in a group. The aim is to enable you to enhance your life and to live it more fully as you increasingly realise your potential. What Conditions Can it Help? People come in to counselling for many reasons. Some are struggling with physical symptoms or feelings of sadness, anger, fear or hopelessness. Others find themselves in difficult circumstances or in unsatisfying relationships. A few are not sure why they come, apart from a sense that they want 'more'. All want to understand their feelings and behaviours and try to put them into the context of their current and potential lives. What Benefits can be Expected? It is very rarely that most people reach even their thirties without some regrets. These regrets and past, often painful, experiences and worries about the future can conspire to decrease the ability of us all to enjoy our lives to the full and to achieve our realistic aims. The very least that you can expect is to begin to remove some of these barriers and start the process of realising your emotional, physical and financial potential.
