'It is the relationship that heals...' Irvin Yalom

Are you unable to move forward in your life or facing difficult challenges or issues?

Patricia Tuckwell Counselling can help, offering professional counselling in Twickenham and surrounding areas.

I am a BACP Registered Counsellor offering a General Counselling service to those who are in need of emotional support when experiencing difficult periods or events in their lives.

In my practice I have supported and worked with people facing a range of issues and challanges in their lives. They include the following:

• Depression, Anxiety,
• General Counselling 
• Long - term Health conditions
• Cancer Counselling
• Support for Carers
• Bereavement, Loss and Grief, Attachment work
• Self Esteem/ Self worth issues, Eating Disorders, Self Harm
• Work Related Issues, Stress,  
• Relationship Issues
• Student Trainee Counselling

I provide face-to-face counselling for adults and older people and telephone counselling for those who may be unable to leave their home due to their circumstances or carer responsibilities.

My counselling service can offer Long term, Short term and Time limited therapy on a weekly basis, where you can talk about your difficulties or personal issues within a confidential, empathetic, non judgmental space and safe environment. 

My work is relational and as a counsellor I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to facilitating growth, change and empowerment.

The way in which I work is predominantly an Integrative approach where several distinct modes of counselling and psychotherapy are used together, and Person-Centered which is based on the idea that a client enters into a relationship with a counsellor where they can freely express their emotions and feelings.

What is Counselling or Therapy?

Counselling or Therapy is a process in which weekly exploration and sharing of thoughts feelings and behaviours with a trained counsellor can help us make new decisions and changes that enable us to move forward and live more fulfilling lives. It is a journey to growth, self - awareness and empowerment, enabling us to communicate more honestly and effectively in our lives. 

Counselling can be challenging and sometimes an uncomfortable experience initially but can become a rewarding experience.
