Counselling for Adults
A space to pause, reflect and understand what you need.
There are times when life can feel difficult to manage.
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or low. Perhaps your confidence has changed, a relationship is causing you distress, or you are facing a change in your personal or family life.
Sometimes you may not even be sure exactly what is wrong. You simply know that something doesn’t feel right.
Individual counselling gives you a confidential and non-judgemental space to talk openly, explore what you are experiencing and begin to understand what you might need.
How counselling can help
People come to counselling for many different reasons.
I can support you with experiences including:
-
Anxiety, health anxiety and social anxiety
-
Stress and feeling overwhelmed
-
Depression and low mood
-
Low confidence and self-esteem
-
Grief and loss
-
Trauma and difficult past experiences
-
Relationship and marriage difficulties
-
Communication and family difficulties
-
Life changes and transitions
-
Menopause
-
Children growing up and moving towards independence
-
Bullying
-
Sexuality and LGBTQ+ experiences
-
Neurodiversity, including ADHD, autism (ASD) and understanding a diagnosis
You do not need to fit neatly into one of these areas to come to counselling.
Sometimes having a safe space to talk is the starting point.
Relationship and marriage difficulties
Difficulties within a relationship can affect many areas of your life.
Communication may have become difficult, arguments may be happening more frequently, or you may feel disconnected, unhappy or uncertain about what you want.
Individual counselling can give you space to explore what is happening within your relationship and understand the thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be contributing to the difficulties you are experiencing.
An approach that is individual to you
I work integratively, with Transactional Analysis as my principal approach, alongside elements of Person-Centred counselling and CBT where appropriate.
We will work collaboratively and at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
My role is not to tell you what you should do, but to help you explore your experiences, develop greater understanding and consider what you would like to be different.
Walk and Talk Therapy
Sometimes it can feel easier to talk when you’re walking rather than sitting in a counselling room.
Walk and Talk Therapy offers the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings while walking outdoors in a calm and supportive environment. Being outside and moving at your own pace can create space to reflect and may feel more comfortable for some people than traditional face-to-face counselling.
Sessions can include walking, pausing or sitting when needed, and the pace can be adapted to suit you.
If Walk and Talk Therapy is something you would like to explore, please mention this when you get in touch.
Online and face-to-face counselling
Counselling is available online or face to face in the Wokingham and Bracknell area.
Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £60.
If you would like to see whether counselling with me feels right for you, you can arrange a free 30-minute introductory call.
