If you work at or near Stockley Park and you’re looking for a counsellor, there are two simple ways to begin: in-person sessions at my practice in nearby Uxbridge, or secure online and telephone sessions you can join from the office, from home, or from anywhere in the UB11 area. I’m Lydia Nightingale, a person-centred counsellor (BA Hons, Dip, MBACP) with over fifteen years’ experience, working with individuals and couples.
Person-centred counselling near Stockley Park
Person-centred counselling starts from a simple, hopeful idea: that you are the real expert on your own life, even when things feel tangled or stuck. My role isn’t to diagnose you or hand over a quick fix, it’s to stay alongside you in a warm, confidential space where you can think out loud and feel genuinely heard. Life on the Stockley Park business campus moves fast, with deadlines, commutes and the constant hum of Heathrow just down the road. When your own head feels just as full, one calm and dependable hour each week gives you somewhere steady to set it all down.
What people bring to counselling
- Work stress and burnout, running on empty, dreading Monday, or struggling to switch off long after you’ve left the office.
- Anxiety and low mood, feeling on edge, worn thin, or somehow not quite yourself lately.
- Relationship and couple difficulties, as a Couple Counselling Practitioner I work with partners together as well as one-to-one.
- Grief, change and feeling stuck, a loss that still aches, an unsettling transition, or a decision you can’t quite settle.
Fitting counselling around the working day
Being based at Stockley Park can make a regular appointment feel hard to protect, which is exactly where flexible options help. The practice in central Uxbridge is only about twelve minutes away up the A408, close enough for a session before or after work, and the campus is well linked by the U5 bus and the Elizabeth line at West Drayton and Hayes & Harlington. Many people working on the campus, though, find online or telephone sessions the more realistic choice, just as private and personal, joined from a quiet meeting room, your car, or home, with no journey to squeeze in. A few minutes’ walk around Stockley Park Golf Club or the campus greens can be a gentle way to arrive at, or step back from, a session.
Sessions, fees and your free first call
Individual sessions last 50 minutes (£70) and couples sessions 60 minutes (£95), usually weekly or fortnightly to begin with, for as long, or as short, a time as feels right for you. Nothing is decided on the spot: we begin with a free, no-obligation 20-minute telephone consultation, so you can ask questions and get a feel for how I work before committing to anything.
Whatever you’re carrying, there’s a way in
You’re welcome to explore the areas I work with most often: work and career wellbeing, anxiety, stress and self-esteem, relationship and couples counselling, and grief and bereavement. I also offer specialist, trauma-informed support for survivors of domestic abuse. Close to Stockley Park, I also see people from neighbouring West Drayton, Hayes and Yiewsley.
