Positive support and constructive guidance

Life Story Therapeutic Centre is a remarkable place that offers a wide variety of high quality counselling and complementary therapies to people aged 16 or over from Reading, Berkshire and the surrounding area. It also provides training programmes for professionals working in these fields.

In a safe and non-judgemental environment, committed and qualified professionals provide an integrated approach to health that incorporates the needs of both the mind and the body. The Centre is operated by the Life Story Charitable Trust, on a non-profit-making basis that enables the provision of low-cost or free support to those in need within the local community.

“If you have problems in your private, personal or business life you will find support and guidance here – enabling you to talk, develop personal insight, understand the causes and consequences of your issues and find a way forward.

We offer a free initial 50 minute 121 confidential assessment (usually same day max 24hrs) with an experienced psychologist he/she would discuss the next step/s and if necessary you would then start working with a particular practitioner in a discreet, secure and confidential environment within a couple of days. The number of treatment sessions are very hard to quantify as it's on a case by case basis but on average changes start to occur after five/six sessions.

Between 8:30 am -  6:00 pm M-F the phones are manned enabling you to discuss a suitable time to visit, alternatively you can book an initial assessment anytime on line via the booking button top right.

Rogerian, Adlerian, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and othertherapies available.

A range of specialised treatments available, provided by fully qualified and recognised professionals.
