In Person Counselling in Wokingham
I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in Wokingham. My approach is psychoanalytic - this kind of therapy is based on the idea that what we experience as a difficulty in the present may point to an unconscious problem with roots in the past. You may find you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, self-destructive behaviour or difficulties in relationships and want to have a better understanding of what underpins these issues.

If you struggle to fall asleep, can't stay asleep, wake up too early or wake up feeling unrefreshed, then I can help you. I studied insomnia at the University of Oxford and started helping people with their sleeping problems at Trouble Sleeping in 2006 with CBT-I. I take a thorough medical and sleep history to discover why you aren't sleeping well, and then I suggest specific tailored cognitive and behavioural changes to help you to overcome your sleep issues. I am also the author of the self-help sleep book, Navigating Sleeplessness.

People come to counselling for lots of different reasons. Sometimes they are struggling with a particular issue or phase in life and want support to understand it or to work through it. Other times, people simply have a sense that things are not as they would like them to be and want to explore the opportunity for change. Perhaps you are unhappy with how you respond to people or situations in your life and you'd like to understand why you do what you do and what it might be like if things were different. Overall, modern life presents lots of challenges and therapy provides a place to consider what to do about them.

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.

Finding the right therapist can feel challenging, which is why I offer a free 20 minute consultation, to give us an opportunity talk about what it is that you are looking to gain from counselling and discuss how the process works. Entering counselling can feel like a daunting process but at this very moment you are taking the first steps towards creating the changes you wish to see in your life whether you are looking for help with a specific issue, or for personal growth. Counselling offers you the opportunity to break down walls, un-bottle hidden emotions and make sense of feelings and experiences that are troubling you.

We go to the dentist to check and care for our teeth and the optician to check and care for our eyes; why not prioritise our minds - the most important part of us. The decision to go to therapy could be following a life event, because something doesn’t feel right or because we feel stuck in life and in these moments, it can be powerful to explore it further. I support a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, loss, trauma, depression and problems with confidence or self-esteem.
