Donna Neale

Morning, Evening and Saturday morning appointments

I work with adults and young people from age 11 and help navigate a range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and many others.

We all face times in our life which are challenging. Whatever your current experience, Counselling & Psychotherapy can give you the opportunity to ‘unpack’ what is happening for you.  

If you feel weighed down, just not quite yourself and need to talk to someone who will listen and support you.

My approach

As an integrative practitioner I am trained in different therapeutic approaches which allow me to adapt my way of working to accommodate each of my client’s individual needs:

• Person-centred therapy - supports increased understanding of who you are as an individual, and the values that you hold true to yourself, leading to greater insight and self-acceptance.

• Psychodynamic therapy - considers how experiences from your past may be affecting how you perceive the world and your relationships in the present day. If relevant, then our sessions can provide an opportunity to explore and uncover this.

I view the client-therapist relationship as the bedrock of our work together, and endeavor to provide a safe, empathic and non-judgmental space. Where helpful and appropriate, I may also share some psycho-education with you, in order to increase your insight and understanding of your experiences.

I am available for face-to-face, Zoom or telephone sessions. For face-to-face sessions, my practice is located in Wrecclesham with easy parking.   

I understand that taking that first step of reaching out for counselling can feel scary. That is why I always offer you 20-minute chat before committing.  This is your chance to ask any questions, and get a feel for how I work, allowing you to decide if you’d like to move forward with me. 

In this initial session we will talk together about what is affecting you, we will talk how we work might work together and the support you need.

I have some availability for clients, I also offer day, evening and Saturday appointments.

My name is Donna, and I am a counsellor and psychotherapist in Farnham offering sessions in person or online via a video call. I endeavour to give you a warm, safe, confidential place to be heard and supported.

I work with people of all ages and backgrounds to navigate a range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and many others. If you haven’t reached out for counselling before, I know the process can feel quite daunting, but I always take care to adapt the process to you. Together we will learn about what works for you to directly addresses your needs.

To book an initial consultation, or ask any questions you might have about Counselling and psychotherapy or how I work, please get in touch any time. 

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space for you to talk to a trained professional about your issues and concerns. I will help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour so you can develop a better understanding of yourself and of others. As your counsellor, I will not give you advice or prescribe medication. We will work together to help you find your own way forward – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways of coping with your problems.

Every individual is unique, and no problem is exactly the same. What we talk about will vary and will depend on what you want help with. We may talk about your relationships, your childhood, your feelings, emotions or thoughts, your behaviour, past and present, life events or situations you find difficult. I will be impartial but understanding. Listen to you without judgment and help you explore your thoughts and emotions. I will draw on a range of different therapeutic techniques to support you and empower you to make changes. This could involve solution-based therapy or a deeper exploration into the root causes of issues, looking at past events and how they influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the here and now.
