I am Beth, an Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.

I provide CBT therapy for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, offering both in-person sessions in Reading, Berkshire, and flexible online therapy options.
I understand that seeking help can be a daunting step to take. I strive to make this journey as comfortable and safe as possible. With this in mind, I think it can be helpful to know a bit about the person you will be talking to.

I started my journey into the therapy world by volunteering as a Samaritan whilst I was at university. At the time I had my own experiences of therapy and of not feeling heard or understood by healthcare professionals.

I came to realise through my time as a Samaritan that often when we are having a conversation with someone we are thinking about what to say next or trying to mindread and guess what the other person is thinking about. By listening to this inner narrative, it is taking you away from actually hearing what the other person is saying and being able to fully understand and engage with a person.

It was with this new understanding, I wanted to be able to provide a place for people to experience this and empower them to take steps to reclaim their life from any suffering they may be experiencing.
With 13 years of experience working in the mental health sector and 7 years working as an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, I have dedicated my practice to creating a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel truly seen and heard.

My approach is centred around each individual's unique story, ensuring that every session is tailored to fit your personal needs and goals.

By employing various evidence-based techniques, I will collaborate with you to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that may be affecting your well-being. Together, we can work towards meaningful change, building a path to recovery that acknowledges your strengths and individuality.
