If you're looking for a therapist in Buckinghamshire, my work spans the whole county — in person from a quiet consulting room in Marlow, and online by secure video for clients anywhere from High Wycombe and Amersham to Aylesbury and the surrounding villages. I'm Keeley Taverner, a Psychotherapist, BACP Accredited and author of Why Love Hurts.
This page explains how I work across Buckinghamshire, the towns I cover, and the kinds of difficulty I support people with — from family and parenting struggles to couples work, anxiety, depression and recovery from toxic relationships.
A private therapist serving the whole of Buckinghamshire
As a private psychotherapist in Buckinghamshire, I offer something a little different from a short NHS course: longer-term, specialist therapy shaped around you, with no waiting list and complete confidentiality. Whether you've searched for a private therapist, a psychotherapist or simply counselling in Buckinghamshire, the work is the same — a steady, considered therapeutic relationship over time, drawing on CBT, EMDR, person-centred and integrative approaches as they fit the person in front of me.
BACP Accredited is the higher tier of membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy — one step beyond Registered. My clinical practice, supervision and ethics have been independently assessed against the BACP standards, and my membership is verifiable on the BACP public register.
Family therapy across Buckinghamshire
Family and parenting struggles are some of the hardest to talk about — and some of the most worth bringing to therapy. Family therapy and parenting counselling can help when communication has broken down between partners and children, when co-parenting after separation feels impossible, or when a family is carrying the after-effects of a difficult or controlling relationship. I work with parents individually, with couples on their parenting, and with the relationship patterns that run through a whole family.
If you're searching for family therapy in Buckinghamshire, sessions are available in person in Marlow or online wherever you are in the county — many families find a mix of the two fits busy school-and-work weeks best. There's no quick fix and I'll never promise one; what I offer is a calm, neutral space to be heard and to start understanding the patterns, at a pace that works for everyone involved.
Couples & relationship counselling in Buckinghamshire
Many couples across Buckinghamshire come to therapy not in crisis but in drift — talking less, snagging on the same arguments, wondering where the closeness went. Couples counselling, relationship counselling and marriage counselling all give you a practical, confidential space to understand each other again — and where there's been an affair, affair-recovery work helps couples decide, honestly, what comes next. Partners can join in the room in Marlow or from two different places online.
Towns across Buckinghamshire I work with
In-person sessions are based in Marlow, an easy reach from much of south Buckinghamshire — and online sessions cover the rest of the county and beyond. Clients come to me from across Bucks, including:
- Marlow, Marlow Bottom and Bourne End (SL7, SL8)
- High Wycombe and Wooburn Green (HP10–HP13)
- Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross (HP9, SL9)
- Amersham, Chesham and the Chilterns (HP5–HP8)
- Princes Risborough and the surrounding villages (HP27)
- Aylesbury and north Buckinghamshire (online)
By car, Marlow is reached easily from the A404 and M40 (J4, High Wycombe); by train it's a short branch-line hop from Maidenhead. If you're further north in the county, online video sessions mean the distance need not be a barrier at all.
How I work — in person in Marlow, online county-wide
For many people the right answer isn't one or the other. Plenty of clients start with a couple of in-person sessions at the Marlow practice to build the relationship, then move to secure video when work, childcare or the school run makes travelling across the county awkward. Online sessions are held over an encrypted platform, never recorded, and held to the same BACP confidentiality and UK GDPR standards as in-person work — you can read the detail in my privacy & data protection policy.
The simplest first step is a free, no-pressure 30-minute consultation by phone or video — a chance to ask questions and see whether we're a good fit before you commit to anything.
