About Me counselling psychotherapist in thame OX9
Hello, I’m Valerie, a fully qualified counsellor and BACP-accredited therapist in Thame. I specialise in anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, and Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN). With a Specialist Diploma in Relationship Counselling, I help couples improve communication, deepen emotional connections, and address unmet emotional needs that often stem from childhood or past relationships. I am passionate about couples counselling and support couples in working through their challenges to build a stronger, healthier relationship.
I also offer specialised therapy for individuals navigating the profound effects of grief, bereavement, and loss. I understand how loss can impact both emotional and physical health, and I provide a compassionate, safe space for you to process these emotions and find a way forward. Together, we will work through the pain of loss, helping you heal and rediscover joy in life.
In addition, I support individuals who have overcome life-threatening illnesses. Survivors often feel pressure to express gratitude for recovery while still adjusting emotionally to the aftermath. I provide guidance as you transition to a new phase of life, helping you address the emotional and psychological challenges that arise during recovery.
As a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their ethical standards to ensure safe and effective practice. My extensive experience includes working with clients facing terminal illnesses and life-limiting diagnoses, equipping me to offer compassionate care through life’s most difficult transitions.
