My name is Dr Luke Bosdet and I am a Principal Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC and BABCP. I provide private psychological therapy in Wokingham and online. I have worked in the NHS in psychologist roles since 2012 and now lead an NHS community mental health team. I have substantial experience and specialism from working with a large variety of mental health issues, from mild to severe, recent to longstanding, and I can help you understand what you may be struggling with and make changes for the better.

If you are thinking about finding a psychologist, chances are something difficult is going on in your life and it is getting harder and harder to deal with it. Unsatisfactory relationships, anxiety, not coping with stress, are very common reasons for getting in touch with me. Know that you don't have to go through these difficulties alone. I am a Polish psychologist in the UK and I offer consultations both, online and face to face in Reading and Slough in Berkshire. I specialise in working with people experiencing anxiety, life crises and who have difficulties with having a satisfactory like. I also offer consultations for parents.

Life is full of its ups and downs, and during the difficult times it may feel, for some, that there is no one to turn to. It can be daunting asking for help and sometimes it feels like no one understands what we are going through. However this does not need to be the case, as you can get support and understanding through counselling. It's really about finding the right counselling relationships- if you've tried before and it didn't work... it was the wrong therapeutic realtionship- please don't give up, You are worth not giving up for.

I survived a deafening and destructively powerful hurricane named Irma, when fear and loss dramatically changed my life and perspectives forever. If there's so much noise in your head it's hard to think, you'll be needing to make the changes you know you must. Do you want to gain a better understanding of what’s causing these negative challenges and narratives? By working together honestly and creatively, I can help you gain an insight into the difficulties you're facing with life and relationships, help you understand why you act or react to stressors in the way you do, and enable you to face the varied stages of change and growth.

Hello, I’m Lauren, I'm a counsellor in Bagshot near Camberley. Are you finding life difficult? Feeling anxious, stressed or low? Maybe you have found that you are struggling with your relationships? Or maybe you think you are drinking a bit more than you'd like to, or taking drugs to help with your emotions? I can offer a space for you to explore your feelings and process what is happening in your life. As well as building up your self esteem and moving towards a self accepting place. Please note that I work with adults 18 and over.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, have experienced trauma or loss, or there are simply too many life-events happening at once, come and talk to me. Discussing your thoughts will help to put them into perspective and make them feel less overwhelming. Often, we don't like to approach those closest to us as we may feel they might judge us by what we say, or be offended or upset. This is the time when talking to a therapist is most beneficial. I will be there to help you review your feelings, understand their basis, and find the best way to improve your situation.

I am trained in integrative psychotherapeutic counselling, which provided me with a foundational set of skills in person-centred counselling, psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential psychotherapy. I use elements from all four disciplines, and have since completed a course in Dialetical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I favour Existential psychotherapy but apply elements of CBT as a means of practicing behavioural changes.

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 qualified integrative Child and Adult Counsellor and ADHD Coach As an ex-Detective working in the Child abuse team, I saw how childhood traumas can affect childhood through to adulthood. The lasting effects are life debilitating and can be crippling. I believe in working collaboratively with your mind, body and soul to bring your body back in alignment. Whether that's through talking therapies, or hypnotherapy.

Whether you are seeking help for a long-standing mental health difficulty, support to manage a current crisis or more general personal development, it can be scary to reach out to others. People come to therapy for many different reasons and it is important to find the right therapist, who can help you explore your feelings and develop ways of managing in an honest, collaborative environment. I am warm, caring and compassionate and able to provide an open, non-judgemental space for you to share and explore your difficulties. Together we will work to understand how they have developed and what can be done to improve your wellbeing.

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?

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and find out more about my experience as a therapist and how I practice.  If you, or someone you care about are struggling, and certain aspects of life are feeling overwhelming, reaching out for help is such an important first step. Many of us are affected by mental health issues at some point in life, through our own experiences, or somebody close to us. I am dedicated in helping you to better understand these difficulties and to provide you with the tools you need to achieve emotional wellbeing.

I am deeply passionate about working with individuals of all ages, assisting them in discovering and implementing healthy strategies to navigate life's challenges. I firmly believe that each person is individual, and I strive to approach every individual holistically. I understand that each person's journey is unique and requires a tailored approach. By acknowledging the intricate interplay between their physical, emotional, and mental well-being, I can provide comprehensive support that addresses their diverse needs.

I work with a variety of issues within my sessions and am happy to work with whatever needs you bring as the client. I work as a Pluralist Counselling which means I am well versed in Psychodynamic therapy (looking at and working through your childhood), CBT (changing behaviours and a more practical approach) and person-centred (working in the here and now, putting the clients' needs first). I will work in collaboration with you, and making sure that you feel you are getting the most out of your therapy session, checking in with what you feel is working and what you would like to change whilst offering an empathetic safe space.

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.
