Counselling and Psychotherapy

Professional, supportive therapy in Henley-on-Thames

If you’re reading this page, you may be wondering whether counselling or psychotherapy could help,  either for you or for someone close to you. Many people arrive feeling unsure about what they need, how therapy works, or whether it will make a difference.

You don’t need to know exactly what kind of therapy you’re looking for before you get in touch. Many people come to us feeling unsure, and part of our role is to help you make sense of what you need and guide you towards the right kind of support.

Life doesn’t usually fall apart all at once. More often, difficulties build gradually: stress that doesn’t ease, anxiety that feels ever-present, low mood that lingers, or patterns in relationships that keep repeating. Some people come with a clear reason for seeking support; others simply know that things don’t feel right anymore.

If you’ve already reached out for support and found yourself waiting for NHS counselling, it can be difficult knowing what to do in the meantime. You’re not alone in that experience, and there may be ways to access support sooner.

At Cherry Tree Therapy Centre, we offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults, children, young people, couples, and families. Our role is to provide a safe, confidential space where you can make sense of what’s happening, and to help you find the kind of support that feels right for you, at a pace that feels manageable.

Create clarity and understanding

Making sense of overwhelming thoughts and feelings.

Reduce emotional strain

Having space to talk things through so life feels more manageable.

Support meaningful change

Developing insight, resilience, and steadier ways of coping.

Our Counselling Services

Choosing the right therapist matters, and it’s not always straightforward to know what will feel like a good fit. We offer a wide range of counselling and psychotherapy services. You don’t need to know which one is right; this overview is simply to show the types of support available.

  • Individual counselling and psychotherapy
  • Couples and relationship counselling
  • Family therapy
  • Counselling for children and young people

Many people work on more than one area in therapy. It’s okay if your concerns overlap or aren’t easy to define.

How We Help You Choose the Right Therapist

Choosing the right therapist matters. Following your enquiry, a member of our clinical team will talk with you about what’s bringing you to therapy and what kind of support might be helpful.

This conversation may include:

  • Your reasons for seeking counselling or psychotherapy
  • Any previous experience of therapy, including what felt helpful or unhelpful
  • Practical considerations such as availability and budget
  • Preferences around the therapist’s approach or style
  • Whether you’re looking for in-person or online sessions

Based on this, we’ll suggest a therapist we believe is a good fit, not just in terms of availability, but in how they work and what you’re looking for.

We aim to respond to enquiries within 24 working hours, so you’re not left waiting or unsure about next steps.

What You Can Expect

Counselling and psychotherapy at Cherry Tree Therapy Centre focuses on the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Feeling safe, heard, and respected is central to the work. Therapy is not about being judged, diagnosed, or rushed towards solutions; it’s about understanding yourself more fully and feeling supported as things shift.

Our therapists work integratively, meaning they draw on different approaches depending on what suits you best. Some people value structure and practical tools; others need space to reflect, process, and explore. We take time to understand what you’re looking for and match you carefully with a therapist whose experience and way of working fits your needs.

We offer:

  • A clear starting point, even if you’re unsure
  • Thoughtful therapist matching
  • Prompt, clear responses
  • A calm, professional space
  • Ongoing support if needed

FAQs

Counselling often focuses on current difficulties and coping strategies, while psychotherapy may explore deeper or longer-standing patterns and experiences. In practice, there is overlap, and the most important factor is working with a therapist you feel comfortable with.

People come to us for support with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, loss and bereavement, identity issues, low self-esteem, compulsive behaviours, menopause-related concerns, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Yes. We offer in-person counselling and psychotherapy at our centre in Henley-on-Thames, supporting clients from surrounding villages including Marlow, Twyford, Sonning, Wargrave, and Nettlebed. Online sessions are also available.

Individual counselling and psychotherapy sessions typically range from £60–£90, depending on the therapist. Low-cost counselling may be available from £25 where affordability is a concern.

That’s very common. You don’t need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. An initial conversation can help you decide whether counselling or psychotherapy feels like the right next step.
