Life & Relationship Coaching for Reading, Berkshire

Face-to-face coaching for individuals and couples. Based at Bucklers Park Community Hub, Crowthorne — with free parking, a warm welcome, and a free discovery conversation to start.

If you live in Reading, this is for you.

If you live in Reading, you'll know how a full life can still leave you feeling stuck — the commute, the demands, the quiet sense that something should feel lighter than it does. If you're reading this, part of you is wondering whether something could be better: your confidence, your relationship, your direction, or simply the way you feel when you wake up in the morning.

HAPI is life and relationship coaching in Berkshire, led by Dom — a certified NLP Master, qualified counsellor and author with over 30 years' experience. We work face-to-face, because genuine human connection is where lasting change begins. Reading is around a 25–35 minute drive from us — many clients from Reading and the surrounding villages make the trip because they want in-person work rather than another video call.

Why people come

Why people in Reading come to HAPI

People don’t arrive at coaching because something is broken. They arrive because something is stuck. If you recognise yourself below, a free discovery conversation is a sensible next step:

  • You feel stuck — in a job, a relationship, or a way of life that used to fit
  • You’re at a crossroads and the options all look equally wrong
  • You keep repeating the same patterns and want off the roundabout
  • You’re a step-parent, or in a blended family, and it’s harder than anyone warned you
  • You run a business, or lead a team, and your fuse is getting shorter
  • You’re returning to work, newly qualified, or early in your career and feeling your way with less confidence than people assume
  • You simply have a quiet sense that life should weigh less heavily than it does

None of it needs to be dramatic. Most clients aren’t in crisis — they’re just ready to grow, and they want a structured, human way to do it.

In person, on purpose

Why local, in-person coaching matters

Coaching works best face-to-face. When you sit in the same room as the person you’re working with, you can’t hide as easily — which, in the best way, is the point. You read each other properly. Trust builds faster. And the things that are hardest to say tend to get said, in a safe and private space, with someone trained to make that feel possible.

With ample FREE parking and a great coffee shop right next to the HAPI room, it's an easy place to land.

Face-to-face is always our preference. If distance is a challenge, virtual sessions can be discussed at your free discovery conversation.

A simple, no-pressure pathway

How working together works

Free discovery conversation

Every working relationship with HAPI starts with a free discovery conversation — in person if you can, or online. It’s a conversation, not a pitch. You talk, we listen, and we’re honestly clear about whether coaching can help. No obligation.

A plan that fits you

If we decide to work together, we agree how — sessions at Bucklers Park Hub, face-to-face, at a rhythm that suits your life and your budget. (1-to-1 coaching from £90; relationship coaching from £125; HAPI Circles group sessions at £45.)

The HAPI Method

Sessions follow our four-step method — Hear, Acknowledge, Plan, Initiate — so every conversation moves you from insight to action. You’ll leave each session with something practical, not just a feeling.

Check-ins, not contracts

We review how it’s going as we go, and you’re never locked into more sessions than you want.

It also matters that your coach understands your world. People from Reading and the area around it come to HAPI from the same sort of lives our work is built around: demanding jobs, family responsibilities, relationships that need attention, big decisions with no obvious answer. You won’t have to explain the context of your life from scratch.

Start with a free conversation.

Half an hour, no cost, no pressure to book again — just an honest conversation about what’s going on, and whether we’re a good fit.
