I practice Monday to alternative Saturdays (no appointment after 12 pm on Saturdays. 

Working hours are  9 am-9pm 

Only 3 working day per week  I offer appointment until 9 pm. 

As a BACP Accredited Humanistic Integrative Counsellor I have 14 years U.K. and 4 years overseas experience, had worked with NHS TT, multinational EAP organization , I have been  offering  counselling as Face to Face, Online and Telephone counselling in my private practice for 10 years, I believe one type of modality does not fit for all for that reason my work aim to match your specific needs. As we all are unique individuals , have our own way of learning and operating in this  life.

 I like working with integrative approaches as they draw on mainstream theoretical perspectives, integrate knowledge and skills from different therapies. 

By using the most suitable approach for you we can work together at a pace that feels right for you.  My presence in my sessions are usually interactive, warm, compassionate, genuine and having healthy boundaries.

 Our confidential work aims to build good rapport / engagement through  empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard where you can feel safe and held. 

Assisting  you to develop great awareness of yourself / your issues is main area so that you can deal with struggles more effectively. I may ask you some relative questions about your background and previous experiences, and help you to clarify your own goals for the therapeutic process if you want to focus on a goal . There is always room for great self exploration, processing feelings, responses related to events or situations. 

As a Registered Accredited Member of BACP I maintain high standards of ethical and professional practice. I adhere to  BACP  code of ethical  for good practice in counselling and psychotherapy and have regular supervision as part of my practice.

I offer three types of counselling ; face to face in Wokingham town center, Online and Telephone Counselling. 

If you would like to discuss your counselling or psychotherapy need first  before booking any appointment  please contact me via phone on 0785 225 1013 or email to arrange an informal chat, where we can talk about your needs and concerns in about 10 -15 min. I do not charge a fee for this initial introductory consultation.  

After this initial conversation or directly without introductory session  we can arrange an appointment for an assessment session, every session I offer is 50 min. long . In some circumstances session can be extended to an hour session. 

 It is important that you feel safe working with me ,  Confidentiality will be  at the heart of our work unless there is a serious concern regarding your health or safety.

During your first appointment you may be asked to speak about what has brought you to the counselling and provide some background information.

You will not be obliged to complete any tests or questionnaires, though depending on your personal requirements, specific assessments may be offered in the future as an adjunct to the therapy itself.

The pace and progress of the work is largely determined by you, and there is no reason to ‘push’ through issues beyond what you feel comfortable with.
