Neil Muir

I am available every weekday except Friday subject to current client commitments. 

Please note I am holiday from the 4th to the 17th December 2025

I hold sessions at my own Practice in the centre of Newbury. 

Perhaps you have been considering Counselling for a while but have been putting it off hoping things will get better. But now your thoughts are becoming too much to carry. 

Anxious thoughts can be overwhelming, eroding confidence and motivation. Do you often find yourself overthinking, criticising yourself, or comparing yourself to others? Perhaps you’re navigating unexpected change  or loss, living with a critical parent or partner, or constantly trying to please others, often at the expense of your own needs.

Whatever the reason you might have been consdering Counselling for a while but just don't know where to start. Sharing your experience and being truly heard by me can begin to bring a sense of relief, understanding and self-awareness. It can help you understand yourself more deeply, recognise what's getting in the way and discovering the strength and clarity to move through this difficult time in your life. 

Practising a person-centred integrative approach, I adapt my approach to your unique needs and goals. I am curious and may sometimes ask questions to help you delve deeper but the direction of travel with always be chosen by you.  You are then able to explore not only your present experiences but also past ones, joining the dots and understand how they might be contributing to negative self-beliefs or relational issues today.

I have experience working with a wide range of life-affecting experiences, in particular:

·       anxiety and depression

·       living with past or present trauma

·       personal and family relationships

.       navigating unexpected change or life transitions

·       neurodiversity in a neurotypical world

I have my own Private Practice in central Newbury where I work face to face with both adults and young people. 

So if you’re tired of putting on a brave face, contact me for a free, no-obligation 30-minute Discovery Session to find out more about how I can support you. 

As part of my ongoing personal and professional development I have attended various short training courses focusing on Positive Pyschology, Relationships, Neurodiversity, Self Harm, Anger, Depression and Loss and Bereavement.

With a particular interest in Transactional Analysis I have completed the TA101 qualification and so can further support  you if you wish to explore issues of conflict, and how you relate to other people

I am also a qualified Life Coach so as well as understanding the past and present, if it feels right you could also look to the future and consider your goals and ambitions. It can help to achieve a better life balance and positive change in your life.

I am a registered Member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ and hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

I offer a free no-obligation 30-minute Introductory Session so you can find out more about how I can support you.

If we decide to proceed, sessions are 50 mins and the charge is £60.00 per session payable on the day. Concessionary rates are available for clients under 18.
