Theresa Curtis MBACP COUNSELLOR Adults & Young People

About me

A warm welcome to you.

It's good to talk. It isn't always easy, and there are times where you may just want to lock yourself in your room, but talking about stuff to the right person can be a very effective way of dealing with things.

Human beings necessarily depend on one another, as in You can't manage this all by yourself; no man is an island. This expression is a quotation from John Donne's Devotions (1624): “No man is an Island, entire of it self; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.”

Clients come to counselling for many reasons:

• the pressures of modern life/stress/physical pain
• anxiety/depression
• self-harm
• addictions
• difficult feelings that may be rooted in the past
• constantly repeating the same mistakes and not understanding why
• feeling sad, lost and alone, or perhaps the family, divorce or relationships are part of the problem

How can Counselling help?

Life is full of challenges, each of them with unique circumstances.  No set of circumstances or problem is too small or insignificant if it’s having a negative impact on you and how you feel.

Counselling may be able to offer an insight into any difficulties, find ways forward and can help you work out how to deal with things. Counselling is not about advice giving or providing the answers. Unfortunately I don't have a magic wand but I will be alongside as we try to find ways to help you. Counselling is a process that can take time. Some people need just a few sessions, while others come for a few months whilst others have more long term needs.

How do I choose the right counsellor?

Finding the right counsellor for you can make a huge difference to your comfort level and to positive outcomes. Although I hold qualifications in counselling, these bits of paper are not as important as the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client.  I have spent many years working within a variety of professional settings, creating a therapeutic space and honing a sensitive and considered approach that makes for a welcoming, safe and contained environment.

Sessions are one-to-one for 50 minutes.  My therapy room is conveniently located close to Camberley, Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Wokingham, Bracknell, Farnborough and Yateley. If you would like to start the conversation please either email or phone/text 07500667646.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards.

Theresa
