About us
Over 50+ years combined experience
Changes4Life was founded in 2002 by Vanessa Boudier in Reading, Berkshire. Since then Changes4Life has expanded across the counties of Hampshire and Oxfordshire and now provides Counselling, Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, EMDR/IEMT, DBT and specialist ADHD Coaching services to adults.
The practice is well known as one of the most sought after therapy practices in the Home Counties, due the experience and dedication of their team of counsellors and therapists. This experience is the reason their clients experience significant change, build resilience, create success, build self esteem, confidence and regain control over their life to create better and happier futures.
Vanessa and the Changes4Life team pride themselves on offering you a confidential, open-minded, “down to earth," professional and caring approach. This ethos is at the heart of each team members practice.
All of the team undertake regular continued professional development ensuring they are up to date with the latest regulations and developments.

Life has a little habit of ‘happening’
We don’t know what we don’t yet know, and because of this we can sometimes experience challenges in different degrees at various times in our lives. We may need a little support to work through them and it is important to reach out and engage with trained professionals who are approachable, professional and compassionate. Our team understand that clients can benefit from an integrative approach where counselling and psychotherapy sessions can also include Hypnotherapy, Coaching, NLP or EMDR to help them work through the challenges in the shortest possible time using an approach tailored individually to them.
Within Changes4Life the quality of therapeutic relationship is nurtured, we focus on helping our clients feel heard, comfortable, safe and able to express themselves, which means they can make sense of their challenges quickly whilst working towards taking control back of their life once again.
It can be very normal for new clients to feel a little nervous, or even vulnerable, when considering disclosing private and personal information to someone they don’t know. This is the reason that we offer every client a free 15 minute telephone call with their chosen team member where they can get to know each other, whilst exploring and identifing the best approach, and to help the client feel at ease with the process.
