Welcome to Changes Counselling
Venturing into counselling may be a daunting step to take, but even by just considering it, you are on the first rung of the “ladder of change”. Perhaps you want to explore past experiences, consider new options, change the patterns in your life and reach your true potential. Maybe this is a time when you need to speak to someone other than friends or family. I can offer a warm, accepting and safe haven to explore any of these issues…if you are ready to take that first small step to change.
I am a Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Group Facilitator, with a private practice in Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire within easy reach of Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Middlesex and London.
I hope I can help you make an informed choice about starting a process that can have positive life-changing results.

About You
-
Do you feel anxious?
-
Do you feel powerless?
-
Do you feel overwhelmed?
-
Do you allow yourself to feel and show your emotions?
-
Do you feel there is nothing you can do?
Perhaps you have experienced, or are currently experiencing a trauma or a difficult period in your life: Counselling or therapy (as it can be called), can help you to use these painful experiences to reassess your life, and work towards change.
Every sorrow or loss, a bereavement, the collapse of a relationship, career or business, an accident, divorce or an illness – is an OPPORTUNITY to grow.
-
Counselling facilitates that growth.
-
Counselling helps gain clarity, change old patterns of behaviour and untangle complex personal issues.
-
Counselling unlocks potential and builds confidence.
-
Counselling straightens out "twisted thinking".
