Life Story Therapeutic and Psychological Centre Reading Berkshire

Areas of speciality
There are a number of therapeutic services delivered through the Life Story Therapeutic Centre by qualified professional therapists in the fields of counselling, psychotherapy and natural health.

Below is a list of some of the issues our practitioners specialise in:

• Alcohol misuse – If alcohol is causing you physical, psychological and social problems, our counsellors can help you deal with the issues which are causing you to drink.
• Anxiety – Anxiety can have a debilitating affect on your life but with therapy you can learn to regulate your anxiety levels.
• Bereavement and loss – During times of loss, it's important to explore your feelings and thoughts and our therapists can provide a non-judgemental and confidential place for you to do so.
• Depression – Are you suffering with the negative thoughts, feelings and emotions? Talking therapies such as counselling can help you discover the underlying reasons for your depression.
• Relationship issues – Counselling can help you identify and address problems which may exist in your relationships with partners, friends or family.

This list represents just a fraction of the problems we can help you with. Please visit our website to see the full list of therapies we offer.


What to expect from your sessions
If you are coming to the centre for psychological support we offer a free initial assessment with an experienced psychologist who will discuss your problems with you and then recommend the next step in your treatment. Once this assessment has taken place, you will begin working with a suitable practitioner in a discreet, secure and confidential environment.

For other therapies at the centre, please contact us in the first instance to find out more about your assessment process and subsequent treatment. The number of treatment sessions you will need depend on your individual circumstances but changes typically start to occur after five to six sessions.
