Welcome to Serene Minds (professional counselling in Wokingham). If you’ve found yourself here you maybe feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply in need of a space to breathe, reflect, and be heard. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that you’re not alone and you’ve taken a brave first step.

My name is Rachel, and I offer a kind, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what’s going on for you. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, life transitions, or just feel like something isn’t quite right, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Together, we’ll explore what’s happening in your life at a pace that feels safe and manageable. I work in a flexible, person-centred way, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to support your unique needs, with empathy and understanding at the heart of our work together.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Sometimes, just showing up is enough. I’m here to support you in making sense of things, reconnecting with yourself, and finding a way forward. You are welcome here, exactly as you are.

Supporting Young People

Growing up isn’t always easy. Whether it’s school pressures, friendship struggles, family changes, identity exploration, or managing big emotions, children and young people often need a safe, supportive space to process what they’re going through.

As a therapist, I have a wide depth of experience working with children and young adults (from 12 years old) in a warm, respectful, and age-appropriate way, creating a space where they feel seen, heard, and understood. I have dealt with Eating Disorders, Self Harm, Anxiety and much more.

Together I can offer a space for young people to slow down, build trust, and explore emotions, behaviours, and experiences at their own pace.

Supporting Adults

Adulthood can bring a wide range of pressures career demands, relationships, parenting, identity, health, loss, and the constant balancing act of modern life.

Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or simply feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and receive support.

I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds, offering a respectful, down-to-earth, and affirming space to explore whatever you’re facing. You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Teens & Parents Together

A Safe Space for Teens and Support for Parents Too

Being a teen today is hard. From anxiety, eating struggles, and self-harm to the constant stress of school and phones, it can feel overwhelming. I work with teens to help them feel heard, understood, and supported as they navigate big emotions and real challenges.

For parents, I offer guidance and insight to help you support your teen without feeling lost or alone. Together, we create a space where healing, growth, and connection are possible. You don’t have to do this alone, support is here, for both of you.
