Amanda Hughes MSc Adult and Adolescent Counsellor MBACP UKCP reg

About me

I provide individual counselling for adults, children 10+, and young people in my peaceful therapy room in Tadley, within easy reach of Reading, Basingstoke, Newbury and surrounding areas of Hampshire and Berkshire. I also offer coaching, support and strategies for parents or carers.

• Are you looking for help with a specific problem? Examples include anxiety and depression, issues with body image and food, grief and loss, gender identity and sexuality. 
• Perhaps you have a general sense that there must be more to life? You want to be happier, achieve goals, be healthier, relax more - but you keep on blocking or sabotaging yourself.
• Are you stressed and overwhelmed? Would you like emotional support and coping strategies to deal better with difficult life situations, including chronic illness and pain, family or work problems?
• Are you a parent or carer of a troubled child? You need a counsellor you can trust, who has the right specialist skills, training and experience. You may also benefit from my parent coaching to help you to help your child yourself (I can work with children under 10 in this way).

I am a sensitive, empathic and gently challenging integrative counsellor with a wealth of training and experience to help with a wide range of issues. I have specialist training in work with adolescents and parents/carers, eating disorders, and body oriented psychotherapy.

If you feel I might be the right therapist for you, I offer a free half an hour no obligation phone consultation where we can discuss your issues and how I can help you individually or as a family.

I welcome diversity including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, religions and political values.
