Rita Harvey | Counselling - Relationship Counselling

Counselling Basingstoke

My name is Rita Harvey. I have extensive experience of working with clients individually and couples.

I am a BACP accredited counsellor, holding a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling based on Transactional Analysis (TA) and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, obtained at Peter Symonds' College in Winchester.

I have a post-graduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Studies, awarded by the Metanoia Institute in London. 

I have been in practice for more than 10 years, working with clients from all backgrounds, individually and in groups. I also work with couples to resolve relationships problems.

Individual counselling

Counselling for individuals: Individual therapy, to explore and address difficulties due to life changes or long standing negative patterns of behaviours.

If you need help or support from a trained listening ear, if you want to deal better with anxiety, combat stress and depression, understand yourself better and enhance your self esteem, get in contact with me. 

I aim at building a strong and respectful relationship with my clients, where they can feel safe, held and listened.

I have come across a variety of issues, including self-esteem, addictions, sexual abuse, relationship problems, inappropriate anger, academic or work difficulties, bereavement and loss. 

Since 2012 I have been teaching Mindfulness skills for wellbeing.

Relationship counselling

Relationship counselling is useful for all types of relationships: marriages, partnerships, friendships, family members, etherosexual and same-sex couples. Any couple or 2 people in a relationship could benefit from finding a safe environment where with professional facilitation they can approach difficult subjects and make changes.

The way I work with couples is interactive and focussed on finding ways to improve communication, solve problems and face difficulties, in a respectful and engaging way and with the full collaboration of both partners.

Typical couples issues that can be discussed in therapy are: distancing, low empathy, intimacy, conflict, sexual problems, infidelity, parenting, separation or divorce.

I am very happy to answer your questions about any of my services.
