I have been counselling for many years in Mortimer, Berkshire and have recently re-located to Overton in Hampshire.  I have  run stress management courses and believe stress and its manifestations increasingly play a  part in peoples mental welfare.   I see individuals and couples and have  worked in a variety of settings, one of which was a GP Practice.  I have supervised in a counselling centre.  In the the year 2000 I  gained a Masters Degree in sexuality and relationship psychotherapy and now a large part of my work is with couples and individuals struggling with relationships, sexual and gender difficulties.  Over the years I have developed my approach from various modalities understanding the client as a unique individual and tailoring the work with that individual.  My style, particularly with couples is interactive but there are times when a different approach is more relevant to the difficulty being brought.  If there are therapies e.g  EMDR that I am not trained in I would discuss  this type of approach and accessing an appropriate therapist.  Generally I will expect to see someone on a weekly basis to establish a working relationship.  Currently my practice is located in a central part of the village where there is parking and a regular bus service to Basingstoke.
