John Dyson

I am currently open to taking on new clients: -

I feel that it is very important to build trust and a good working partnership and for me this requires, at least, the first session to be in person. Due to the current levels of risk in-person sessions  require us both to wear a surgical mask; these will be provided.

The rooms are cleaned thoroughly, there are hand washing and sanitising facilities, there are clear procedures; and health and risk appraisals are made for each visit.

After one or more in-person sessions we can talk about moving some sessions on-line; this requires the client to have a private and safe place, and the ability to join a Zoom call.

Please contact me and we can talk it through and understand if I can help.

In my Newbury practice I offer face to face counselling including services for adults and young adults (16+); those suffering with feelings of anxiety, depression; lacking self-esteem, experiencing relationship or identity issues; including self harm and issues with substance abuse.

I work with my clients to develop self worth and acceptance, helping with coping strategies while looking to promote healing and resilience.

I currently have appointments available on Monday evenings.

I offer both short and long term work. Usually starting with 6 weekly sessions.

My fees are £50. I have some appointments at a reduced rate.

Please contact me in the first instance by email. I offer free telephone consultations.

My approach is exploratory. Working with clients to help them to gain an understanding of the roots to their feelings and behaviours. Then finding ways to adjust, revise and come to terms with things. 

There is a different journey for each client as their needs differ.

The first session is about gaining specific information about your issue with background and relevant medical information. 

I also describe how I work and explain key information about privacy and confidentiality.

I will require the details of your GP and / or the contact details of a trusted adult.
