Alison Sanchez
Psychotherapist in Crowthorne

I am a qualified and well experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor offering work with individuals, couples, young and older people in a safe, peaceful and comfortable environment.

The quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to a positive outcome in counselling and very important in my work.

I will build a trusting therapeutic relationship and work with you safely and confidentially to help you understand your past, deal with present difficulties and explore your hopes. This can be a time of self discovery and can involve drawing on your own personal strengths and resources to bring hope and a more positive future and reaching your life goals.
My approach varies depending on the needs of my client, I tailor my counselling work to fit each individual client, which is the most important thing.
