Female Counselling in Popeswood, ENG

Are you feeling lost and confused? Are thoughts whirling in your head leaving you feeling exhausted? Maybe you have a major life decision to make, or have had to adjust to a change that you did not want? Do all your relationships end the same way, and you want to learn how to stop repeating the pattern? Whatever reason you have for looking for counselling, I’d like to reassure you that I have probably already helped someone in your situation, and I can help you. The first step, asking for help, is the hardest.

I am a Rapid Transformational Therapist, Certified Hypnotherapist, and CPD & ICF Somatic Trauma Informed Coach. My primary focus is on healing from the profound effects of trauma and its impact on self-perception and relationships. I work with issues such as anxiety, phobias, addictions, confidence, depression, low self esteem, burnout, anger, weight loss and narcissistic abuse, empowering others to reclaim their personal freedom and live authentically

As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. It’s all about you and your journey towards finding what's best for you. I'm here to guide, listen and together, we will uncover what is happening for you.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, or overwhelmed with the demands of everyday life? Are you a mum struggling with the ups and downs of parenthood? Is your child struggling to manage big feelings and you don't know where to turn? I am here to help. I have over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adult women facing challenging times. Some of my areas of focus include anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, perinatal mental health, eating disorders, self-harm, and chronic illness. I provide both short-term, goal focused therapy and long-term work where we can explore your past and how it impacts your present.

You may have tried talking therapies and not noticed any change in how you feel afterwards. I am passionate about working with people who feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed and in emotional pain. Art psychotherapy offers everything that normal talking therapy offers with the added dimension of accessing the unconscious parts of you, in a safe and contained way.

I am experienced Psychologist, Counsellor and Psychotherapist, fully registered and acccredited by UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). As we all know, life is certainly a journey that is not always easy to travel on alone. Most of my clients describe me as being warm and empathic and consider that the process of therapy and my non-judgemental attitude has helped them get a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.

Hello. I'm Penny and I offer short or long-term therapy with an integrative approach. Is there something that is troubling you? Something you’d like to talk through, but with someone outside of family or friends? Perhaps you’re asking yourself some questions about who you are, what is going on in your life, or about the relationships you have? Maybe your feelings seem overwhelming, or you can’t identify what emotions you’re experiencing? Whatever issue you’d like to bring to counselling it is my hope that you will find some clarity and peace

Life can be tricky and struggling to keep your head above water can enhance overwhelming feelings. Perhaps it may lead you down a path of isolation, loneliness and the possibility of embarrassment that may prevent you from reaching out to family and friends. Finding a counsellor can be daunting and I believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is key for therapeutic change. I encourage my clients to safely explore any issues bought into therapy in an attempt to gain a greater understanding, begin to heal and grow within an environment that is non-judgemental. Please do get in touch if you have any questions.

Are you going through a difficult time in your life? depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma, disorders? Finding it hard to cope? lonely, confused, lost and uncertain what to do without someone who can listen and understand you? There can be times in your life when you need someone to talk to, listen to you or just be quiet with. Often this is not possible with your partner, family or friends and you may need a different perspective from someone that is not part of your life. Counselling can help you understand your thinking, your feelings the ways in which you act, helping you to make better life choices.

Are you finding it difficult to get up and face the day ahead? Struggling to connect or maintain your relationships? Tired of pretending to be something you're not, yet afraid of judgment? Do you feel stuck while others move forward? Are you experiencing low mood, stress, or anxiety? With irritation and anger surfacing frequently? Maybe you're overwhelmed by mixed emotions, made even more challenging by guilt or shame for feeling that way? Perhaps you feel different, and fear being left behind. Are your nights consumed by uncertainty and worries life will always be like this?

By combining my therapeutic models, I am able to provide a unique approach for each client which will help you to gain insight into your issue, enabling you to bring about change. The therapy lies in the realationship between the client and counsellor, where trust and respect is developed and at the centre of each session, and is integral in the way I work. I have experience working with adults and young people, helping with a wide range of issues. Therapy offered can be either short or long term at flexible times during the day and evening depending on the needs/requirements for each client.

Are you looking to work through what is troubling you in a safe, respectful and supportive environment? I work as an Integrative psychotherapist/counsellor drawing from a range of theories and techniques including person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT based on your needs and what suits you best. I offer both short and long-term therapy, working alongside you on your journey to make the changes you choose to make. Together, we can start to uncover the root of your issue and work at a pace that suits you.

We can all at times experience life as challenging and stressful. Clients contact me for a variety of reasons including:partners of childhood sexual abuse survivors, anxiety, work stress, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, loss of direction as well as wellbeing for men. Couples also come to my practice. Some come to improve how they communicate, some wish to find a way through their current difficulties and to find a way forward, some wish to separate with compassion and understanding, whereas others come to keep their communication open via couple tune up sessions after the main therapy has ended.

My particular interests are: helping men and women who have suffered trauma, from mental, physical and sexual abuse; and working with couples - around commmunication and relationship issues. Providing a safe, supportive space, I employ a Relational Approach, using the unique therapeutic relationship between me and each client as a way for us to mutually understand the personal dynamics of each person - how they interact with themselves, and with the world - and to help facilitate personal change. Through our therapeutic relationship we can help change patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour causing pain and distress.

Are you feeling stressed, unhappy, or does life just seem too challenging at the moment? ​ Do you find it difficult to find or keep happy fulfilling relationships? ​ Would you like to be able to talk about your difficulties in a calm and confidential space? ​I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist and counsellor, and I run my private practice from a comfortable and safe room in my home in Crowthorne, Berkshire. From my previous role as a rape and sexual abuse counsellor, I have considerable experience in working with clients who may have experienced trauma either in childhood or as an adult.

I support Children and Young People with counselling through face to face conversations, therapeutic exploration and / or play. This enables a child or young person to express, explore and make sense of events and experiences that are hard to verbalise or articulate. It is a non-directive and client-centred approach to therapy that allows the client the opportunity to play out, talk about and work through feelings and emotions within a safe and therapeutic environment.

Choosing a counsellor you want to work with can sometimes be difficult. Having worked with the body for over 20 years, I pride myself in taking a collaborative approach to both mind and body. Having a specialist interest in the Vagus nerve I am able to work with you to nourish and regulate your nervous system, further enhancing your ability to make sense of your concerns and troubles. I work from an integrative background meaning I have knowledge and experience in all major theories.
