Counsellor, Reading Reflections (Kate Rich)

1 in 5 adults suffer from the feeling of low mood at some stage of their lives. It differs from the normal sadness in terms of severity of the emotions being felt. At this stage, you may feel guilty, hopeless, and unable to talk to anybody. A counsellor may help you come out of your sadness or the mental trauma that you are going through. Contact Kate Rich at Reading Reflections in Reading if you want to relax your mind and find a balance in your life.

Hi, I am Kate. I am a full-time psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Lower Earley, serving clients throughout Reading and the surrounding area. I am accredited by the National Counselling Society and am registered on the Professional Standards Authority’s accredited register. I am also an active member of National Hypnotherapy Society (NHS). For your added reassurance, I am DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and fully insured.

Therapy That Understands the Pressures of Modern Life

I care about your feelings and want to provide you with the enlightenment and understanding to find peace within yourself. To provide you with insightful and personalised therapy, I undertake at least fifty hours of professional development study every year and keep myself updated with the latest techniques.

Prior to being a counsellor, I worked for twenty two years in the corporate world. I can understand the stress and challenges in creating a good work-life balance. I will work with you to confront and overcome your difficulties with empathy, understanding and compassion.

Usually I see my clients for six to eight sessions, however this is totally up to you. I conduct sessions during the day, evening and on Saturdays from 8 am to 9 pm. I also consider out of hours morning sessions to enable you to go to work after. I also offer home visits if you have difficulty with mobility, transport or coming to somewhere new.

Counselling charges

Counselling sessions last for an hour and are initially conducted on a weekly basis. When you start feeling a little relaxed or relieved from your low mood, I can conduct your sessions on a fortnightly or monthly basis.

I charge £30 for your initial consultation. The initial consultation allows me to understand your requirements and establish ways to collaborate with you and work together. Further sessions will cost £60 per hour, £70 for couple counselling, and home visits can be arranged for £10 extra. If you pre-pay for five sessions, then your sixth session would be free.

Why should you come for counselling?

All of us find ourselves standing on the cross roads of life at some point in our lives. At this stage, we're unable to take decisions and talk to people. We face such situations when we suffer a trauma and we can't seem to stop thinking about it. Feelings of low mood, isolation, conflict, low self-esteem and suffering make our lives uneasy. A therapeutic intervention can help!

If you find yourself in deep grief and sorrow, and want to come out of it, you need to see a counsellor. Contact Kate Rich at Reading Reflections in Reading if you want to cope with the feelings of low mood and restore your mental peace. I have completed training in the rewind technique for the treatment of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and in counselling the traumatically bereaved after murder and manslaughter.
