Profile
My name is Babs and I counsel in Fleet, Farnham and Reading. My aim is to provide you with a calm, safe and supportive space to talk about what is troubling you; counselling can help you understand and deal with your situation better. I will listen, respect your needs and acknowledge your feelings to help you explore your options and alternatives. You will not be judged, analysed or told what to do and we will work together to find a way forward, suitable for you – one step at a time.
Our relationship will be based on honesty, acceptance and understanding. I believe that: - we are shaped by our past and environment; - we have freedom of choice; - we are responsible for our own lives; - given the right support you can find meaning and happiness within your limitations.
As an Integrative counsellor I use a flexible approach, which I adapt to meet your needs. Counselling can be challenging but you will also find it incredibly rewarding.

It is important that you feel comfortable about working with me, this is why I offer a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION to discuss your concerns, explain how I work and answer any questions you may have.
