Cath Price

Hi I'm Cath, and I offer counselling in Reading and online to people aged 18+. 

I know that it takes a lot of courage to make the initial step to talk to someone, I offer empathy, warmth and sensitivity to make that step as comfortable as possible.
Life can feel like a struggle sometimes - we may not know exactly how we feel, or have many conflicting feelings we may feel confused and overwhelmed or sometimes just numb. We may not always want to share our deepest, most painful, private feelings and thoughts with friends and family. 

Over the years I have counselled people who have been through domestic violence and abuse, sexual abuse and trauma, working sensitively with these issues at people's own pace. I've also counselled people with relationship breakdown, ADHD, low self-esteem, low mood, bereavement, grief, loss, low self confidence, family issues, bullying, negative thinking, anxiety, depression and stress (including work stress).

I'm warm and empathic helping you to feel safe to explore your issues, thoughts and feelings at your pace. I won't advise or tell you what to do - believing you hold your solutions and together we can explore your feelings and thoughts, enabling you to feel better and to find a way forward.

Practice description 

I am a BACP registered Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, I work  'integratively' by combining Person-Centred and Psychodynamic therapy and other approaches to best suit each person's needs. 

I am led by you and we will explore what you want to each time we meet, sometimes it can help to look back at what has happened in your past, and past relationships to help understand the present and the future that you would like. 

I offer face to face counselling from a comfortable and tranquil centre in Reading town centre, close to parking and good public transport links. I can also offer online counselling sessions either via Zoom or Google Meet. 

I can offer long term or short term counselling, you decide what is best for you and when you would like to end sessions.

Initial free first session

I offer a free 20 minute consultation session either online or over the phone - whatever works best for you.

This gives us time to get to know each other a little, to explore a little about how you've been feeling and the situation you are in, and what you may want from our sessions.

It's a chance to ask any questions that you may have about what sessions will be like, especially if counselling is new to you. 

Most importantly you can decide if you fee comfortable talking with me. If you do decide to go ahead, we can agree on a time and day that suits you to meet for our sessions -  we can also mix and match face to face or online to suit you.

Please do get in touch - If you have questions, or want to talk about what is on your mind just call me on 07938 098 414 to book or email me.

I offer a free initial 20 minute session which can be either by telephone or online to best suit you.

I offer cheaper rates for trainee counsellors.

I work from a quiet room in central Reading, close to parking and a few minutes walk from the train station and close to other public transport.

I can also offer telephone and online counselling or a blend that works for you.
