Counsellor in Basingstoke. Therapy & Counselling in Basingstoke

Counsellor in Basingstoke at Find Clarity Counselling. I’m Simon Cook, a B.A.C.P male registered therapist in Basingstoke providing anxiety counselling, depression counselling, bereavement counselling and adult psychotherapy for all clients looking for therapy and mental health support in Basingstoke and online.

As a counsellor, I don’t just ask “how does that feel?” I challenge thoughts to see what is REALLY going on. I believe that when you commit to therapy, you deserve true support – not a counsellor who sits in silence nodding along or regurgitating patronising clichés. My approach is about being absolutely real with one another and everything I do is about wanting the best for you. Sometimes that might mean calling things out and being completely honest. I’m always encouraging your progress and I see our therapy as a partnership. We work together to look at your day-to-day choices, explore self-sabotaging patterns and unearth real ways to move forward.

I work with adults who are ready to face their problems head-on. Many of my clients come to me because they are tired of filtering their thoughts or feeling like a burden to their friends and family. In my therapy room, you don’t have to keep up a performance or hold back; you can stop editing your thoughts, say exactly what you feel, and just get it all out, exactly as it is.

Some of the issues I help with at Find Clarity Counselling include:

How I Practice Counselling & Psychotherapy

In-Person in Basingstoke & Online Across the UK

My type of therapy is not rigid and clinical, I’m an integrative counsellor which basically just means we can use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Theory, a Person-Centred approach, Transactional Analysis (TA) – essentially we use the best approach to actually get to the root of your problems and then work on a plan so you can handle things better.

For in-person sessions, my therapy room is at Grosvenor House in central Basingstoke, RG21 4HG (halfway between Waitrose and the AA building). There is free parking on-site and it’s a less than 10 minute walk from Festival Place, Basingstoke train station and the main bus station.

It’s easy to get to if you’re driving down the M3 or A339 from commuter areas like Hook, Fleet, Farnham, Odiham, Alton, or Newbury
and if you’re based outside the local area, I offer online counselling sessions across the UK.

I purposely don’t do waiting lists, so that means we can get started in the next day or two –  and if the diary allows it, same-day appointments may be possible. Get in touch to set up your first appointment or book a free 15 minute phone call so we can chat and make sure we are the right fit to work together.
