WELCOME My name is Ann-Marie James and I am a professional counsellor in private practice in Reading, Berkshire. If you are considering counselling I welcome you to read the information provided within this site.
As a counsellor I believe in the importance of self-understanding and self-care. Counselling can assist you in dealing with stress, anxiety, loss, depression, relationship challenges, work challenges, and many other aspects of life that can cause distress. Counselling can assist you with learning about yourself, resolving difficult emotions, developing skills for relationships and career, dealing with loss or bereavement, facing addiction, healing trauma, changing negative behaviours, and improving your quality of life.
I am an integrative counselling therapist. I trained in America and am experienced in counselling adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, mind-body disturbances, and mental illness. I am also a trained and experienced family therapist with experience helping adolescents and families with a variety of challenges. In counselling I take a holistic view of the person, meaning that mind, body and spirit are all important aspects of wellness.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Code of Ethics and Good Practice as well as the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA). Any information as relates to you and the process of counselling is strictly confidential.
