Rebecca Jesty (MA Counselling, MBACP Reg.) Couples and Individuals

About me

• Qualified, BACP registered, fully insured counsellor.
• Individual and Couple counselling offered.

Not sure if  you need couple or individual?

I recommend coming as a couple first and then you can easily choose to go to individual counselling later if you want. Once individual counselling is established it would be much harder to introduce another person fairly.

Private practice is located in Woodley (easily reached from Reading, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Wokingham).

Confidential and safe environment where you can feel accepted and can open up about what is happening for you right now.

Together we can work on defining the problem, assessing your strengths and developing your self awareness. This brings understanding to the issues you are facing and help find potential ways forwards. Your your past, present and future hopes and goals are all considered relevant to your experience of life and how you feel.

(My training is integrative and draws from the humanistic, psychodynamic and systemic theories of people and health).

Other employment:

I am also employed as a Clinical Lead for Reading Lifeline, a charity offering free counselling to individuals and couples who are grieving the loss of a baby. The shock this brings, along with any accompanying emotions and reactions, can make your life and how you feel about yourself and your partner, almost unrecognisable. These reactions are part of the normal process of grieving and having a safe place to talk about your baby and your experiences can be helpful as you try to make sense of what has happened.

I am also experienced at providing support during any subsequent pregnancies (Rainbow Babies).
