Life Transitions Therapists in Reading, England, United Kingdom

Major transitions - career change, loss, relationship endings, becoming a parent, relocating - often surface old material that had been successfully managed. The destabilisation of a transition can be an opening: a moment when the nervous system is already in flux and therefore more available for reorganisation. Focused somatic work during or after a significant transition can help you move through it, rather than around it.

Welcome, I am super happy to assist you with your life journey, and to work with you as you approach or consider life transitions. This is one of my favourite areas of work, so expect me to show up with heaps of warmth and enthusiasm. I have previously managed support for people navigating employment changes, relationship and family changes, housing issues and changes, recovery from burnout, health changes and disability, grief, and moving forward after crisis; so you will be in great hands. Consults are free and instantly bookable on the We Tackle Trauma website, I look forward to meeting you and learning more about what you are navigating and how I can support you in moving forwards- Jade Evelyn Gayle

My focus is on supporting men as they work through stress, anger, disconnection, and self-doubt. By encouraging honesty, vulnerability, and emotional clarity, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the challenges that show up in relationships, work, fatherhood, or identity. Counselling here isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about guiding you back into connection: with yourself, your core values, and the people who matter most, so you can move forward with greater clarity and purpose. I see counselling as a collaborative and creative process, shaped by the needs and direction of each person I work with. My role is to offer steady support while creating room for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Ultimately, my aim is to help you deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Life transitions can deeply affect identity, emotional wellbeing and the nervous system, especially for women living between cultures, languages and different versions of themselves. Moving abroad, changing roles, midlife shifts, relationship changes, menopause, career transitions or periods of emotional re-evaluation can sometimes create a quiet sense of fragmentation, uncertainty or loss of belonging. Many women spend years adapting externally while internally feeling disconnected from their own rhythm, needs or sense of self. My work offers a warm, reflective and holistic space to explore these transitions more gently and consciously, without the pressure to constantly perform, cope or “have everything figured out”. I integrate psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, EFT, embodiment, lifestyle medicine, reflective dialogue and nature-based approaches to support women in reconnecting with greater authenticity, emotional regulation, inner stability and self-trust during periods of change and transformation.

Each therapist has their own specialties, and we focus on connecting you with the clinician whose experience best fits your needs. Therapy may involve developing coping strategies, processing past experiences and childhood patterns, and cultivating greater self-compassion and emotional well-being.

Reading sits at the heart of England's Thames Valley tech corridor — home to Oracle, Microsoft, and Huawei's UK headquarters — creating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the psychological pressures of the technology sector. The town's proximity to London and easy rail access makes it a significant commuter hub, and therapists frequently address the particular stressors of long-distance commuting and work-life separation. Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provide public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in the town center and surrounding suburbs. Reading's growing and diverse population — including large South Asian, Eastern European, and East African communities — is increasing demand for culturally aware and multilingual therapists.
