Deciding to enter therapy is a choice many people face at some point in their life. It often brings up important questions in a search for the "right therapy." If you are finding life difficult, have unresolved issues or simply want to explore possibilities for growth, counselling and psychotherapy can help. After looking at several websites you might be left asking yourself if this will work for you? I understand that this concern can stop you from trying so I offer a first initial session free of charge, so you can decide (without obligation) if therapy is something that you are ready for and if we are suited to working together.
The type of therapy I offer is suitable for Individuals, Couples, Families and Children.
Although I conduct most sessions of therapy in Reading one on one (at the Church Street Therapy Centre), I also work on the phone and via the internet if required.
If like most people looking for a good psychotherapist and you have taken some time to read and visit several sites you will notice there are many different types of therapy. Some work on cognitive techniques providing practical ideas to cope with your issues. Some are non-directive, purely listening based and yet others are directive. My aproach covers all techniques as I don't believe a "one size fits all" strategy can properly fit with everones individual needs. In your first free session I will discuss with you what I believe will produce the best results for you. After all this is all about "you" so how could any one tell you that any particular therapy will work with out first discussing what you are looking to achieve?
My approach is intergrative & transpersonal which mens I draw from several different techniques including psychdynaminc, cognative, humanistic gestalt, existential.
I practice counselling, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, play therapy and systemic family work.
There are many areas in life where skilled counselling and psychotherapy can help. The first session is completely free of charge so you can decide if it's right for you.
Depression - Anxiety & Stress - Self-esteem - Employment - Relationships - Anger - Crime - Guilt - Family Separation - Parenting - Adoption - Identity - Bereavement & Loss - Eating disorders - Addictions - Childhood Trauma & Abuse - Illness - Sexual issues - Prostitution - Infertility - Bullying & Discrimination - Divorce & Separation - Self-Harm - Suicidal Feelings - Loss of meaning

As I am based in Reading Berkshire often people find my site whilst looking for a particular book or books for "reading." I am working on a resource page to help and hope to upload it by the 30th of May. I will recommend books I have personally read. If like me you are an avid book reader you might find my reviews helpful in choosing your next title. If there is enough interest I will consider writing a newsletter. Please email me If this would be of interest to you.
