Donna Collins
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc (hons), PGDip, SupervisionDip
Trauma, when held as energy in the body can bring unwanted reactions to present day events and feelings of being out of control and helpless. Working with your body to release this energy can help you to move forward in life. I will be able to support you so that you can start to feel less activated and calmer with a new found sense of a lighter and more possible future.

Vicky Mould
Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited Professional Registrant (PNCPS Acc.)
The effects of trauma can be very distressing and shape how you think, feel, and relate to others around you. But trauma doesn't always lead to a diagnosis of PTSD. And you don't have to have this diagnosis to benefit from the counselling we could do together. I work in a trauma-informed way, prioritising your sense of safety and trust in our counselling relationship. And I can offer a space where you can relieve that sense of overwhelm, find your coping, and gently work through the experiences underlying the trauma. You're welcome to get in touch with any questions or to book a consultation to explore if I'm the right counsellor for you.

Eric C Bettelheim
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, MSc., J.D., M.A. A.B. Member: BACP, BPC.
Trauma is foundational to a wide variety of distress and is most resistant to change if experienced in early childhood. PTSD severity is inked to childhood trauma and should be understood in that context.

Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
Trauma isn't only what happened - it's what the body didn't get to finish in response to what happened. Whether you're carrying the weight of a single overwhelming event or a lifetime of experiences that were never safe enough to fully process, this work meets you in the body rather than in the narrative. We create enough safety for your nervous system to complete those unfinished cycles - without re-traumatisation, without overwhelm, and without requiring you to relive what you've already survived.

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. Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in the town centre 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.
