Donna Collins
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc (hons), PGDip, SupervisionDip
I provide both in-person and online therapy. I create a calm, healing space for you to feel secure and for a therapeutic relationship to be formed. I utilise a range of therapeutic understanding and interventions to help you become more aware of how you function, this in turn will help empower you to feel more confident and creative in however you choose to express yourself in the world.
I work very intuitively and with deep listening and communication, helping you to increase your awareness of yourself. Our work will be varied, utilising both talking therapy as well as somatic (body) and energetic work.

Navigating life experiences such as depression, anxiety, bereavement (including baby loss), domestic abuse, relationship issues, perinatal or parenting concerns can be challenging and leave you feeling overwhelmed, alone, exhausted, or stuck. But I can be of support. I can help you feel part of a safe, trusting and supportive relationship, and find your sense of coping, healing, and well‑being.

James Darby
Registered Psychotherapist, Postgraduate Diploma Core Process Psychotherapy, DCHyp, ABSCH, MBA
Consulting from a private practice in Fulham and Chelsea in London, I employ a combination of mindfulness-based interventions and psychotherapy as a gateway to change, encouraging clients how to come into relationship with their own thoughts, feelings and habitual behaviours rather than wrestle with them. This creates the conditions for emotional wisdom, growth and wellbeing.

Karine Flynn
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPS
You've done real therapeutic work. You understand your patterns with a clarity that took years to build: why your nervous system braces before a difficult conversation, why certain relationships seem to confirm your oldest fears, why the same emotional weather keeps returning no matter how much you've examined it.
That understanding is not the problem. There is simply a neurobiological ceiling to what verbal processing can reach. Some people hit it - and when they do, the patterns that remain aren't stored as thoughts to be reframed. They live in the nervous system, in the body's tissues, in responses that were encoded long before language was available to organise them.
I work at that ceiling. Not because what came before was wrong - but because the next layer of work requires a different kind of access.
With over 20 years of experience and a deep specialisation in body-based trauma release, I work with self-aware individuals who are ready to move from understanding their patterns to releasing them. If that's where you are, I'd like to hear from you.

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.
