COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY IN READING, BERKSHIRE
When you’re feeling anxious or depressed, lost or unhappy, turning to the professional support of a counsellor can help.
I am an experienced therapist working at the Caversham Counselling Centre in Reading. I am here to help if you’re experiencing mental health and emotional difficulties.
There are times when emotions become overwhelming and it’s hard to cope with life.
You may have depression if feelings of low mood and sadness last for several weeks and negatively effect your home and work life and your relationships. At the mild end, depression includes lack of interest and motivation and feelings of tiredness and sadness. At its most severe, you feel life is not worth living and think of and act on suicidal thoughts.
WHAT IS COUNSELLING
Counselling is an opportunity to have a different kind of conversation. Two people meet for weekly sessions (or more frequently) and talk and listen; however, unlike social conversations, the emphasis is on one person – you – as you address the problems and difficulties you are experiencing.
ABOUT JO HOPKINS
Practising as a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist I work in private practice seeing adults and young people for weekly or twice-weekly individual therapy. The psychodynamic approach focuses on helping you identify and understand negative patterns of relating and behaving.
It may be that your problem is you find it hard to connect…
Some want help in making a split, some want to repair and continue. I do not work with couples but with individuals whose main source of distress and unhappiness is due to a problematic relationship. This may be a relationship with a spouse or life-partner, a parent, child, sibling, friend or work colleague.
