I offer one to one counselling sessions in Coggeshall to individuals over the age of 17 years. In a confidential space, where I will encourage you to talk about whatever is troubling you, together we will work through it, whatever it is. We can work on bringing about lasting change, so you can get on with your life. I have been in private practice since 2008, worked for 6 years within an NHS contract offering NICE approved Counselling for Depression, and 4 years as a counselling service manager. I have extensive knowledge and understanding of the complex nature of mental health.

I will aim to meet you with genuine warmth and acceptance in a confidential and safe space. I will work with you in partnership and in ways that are meaningful toward the directions and goals that you have for therapy. During our time together, I will regularly ask you to feedback to me how you are experiencing counselling, so that I can adjust and tailor the work to ensure I am meeting your expectations and goals.

I am taking a sabbatical from the end of May 2024 so will only be offering short term work until then. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for children, young people, parents and adults. Young people can often have worries that they find hard to talk to their parents about. Talking to someone outside the family can often make all the difference. I offer space for parents to talk about their worries and work on their parenting strategies. Sometimes I work with a parent and child together if there are particular relationship issues. I also work with adults for individual problems.

I am a Registered Counsellor & Specialist Consultant in Mental Health with over a decade and a half of experience helping adults & young people overcome difficulties impacting emotional well-being and mental health. I specialise in working with Individuals, Men and Young People (16y.o.a+). I deliberately keep the number of people I work with low and have found through experience, this allows me much greater flexibility when working with my clients. My fee structure as indicated is £80 per session (50 minutes) and £100 for our first session which runs longer at 90 minutes, giving us adequate time together on our first meeting.

I am a Clinical Supervisor and Counsellor. I work with adults and couples experiencing a variety of issues, such as - divorce and relationship breakdown; bereavement and loss; anxiety; depression; anger; trauma; childhood abuse; self harm; low self-esteem. I practise an integrative, person-centred approach which focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It is the development of trust and understanding within this relationship which enables the client to acknowledge their problems and issues at their own pace and to realise solutions, with gentle encouragement and support.

I am a BACP registered, qualified and experienced psychotherapist and have worked with many clients with various problems. Many people struggle with their own unique experiencing of the world, which can sometimes feel overwhelming. I am able to provide a non-clinical, non-judgemental, confidential and relaxed environment, to help you safely explore your thoughts and feelings in an attempt to help you gain an understanding and clearer insight into yourself and your problems. During therapy you will hopefully also gain some ‘tools’ to help you deal with life more effectively and in a more managable and healthier way.

I work with children, young people and adults. I provide a safe and trusting space to enable my clients to explore what it is that has brought them to counselling. I believe in empowering my clients so they explore their feelings and experiences, to work towards liberating themselves from these restricting and overwhelming feelings in order to live a happier life, with more self worth and confidence.

Living with the impact of trauma and PTSD can make it difficult to feel safe enough to connect with others. The lasting impacts of trauma can negatively affect our mood, relationships, physical health and self esteem. Ongoing mental health difficulties can prevent us from being the person we want to be, and living the life we want to live. I offer a calm and compassionate space where you can feel safe to reflect on the experiences you have been through. We will work together to understand what has helped you to survive so far, and how to work towards a better future.

Hello, and welcome. As an experienced psychodynamic counsellor, I specialise in working with children and young people between the ages of 10-25. For children and young people, it can often be difficult to understand or express their emotions. This can lead to overwhelming, confusing or stuck feelings, perhaps resulting in low self-esteem and struggles with relationships with others, and themselves. Counselling and creative therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore emotions, and develop an understanding of their thought patterns whilst building communication skills and emotional resilience.

I am a qualified, integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP. My training enables me to work using a number of approaches so that I can tailor your sessions to meet your individual needs. We are all different, have different backgrounds, lives and experiences that have shaped us into who we are and how we see the world, so it’s really important that your counselling sessions are shaped around your individual needs and tailored to be most beneficial to you.

Whether you or someone important to you has an issue requiring attention, a complex emotional or behavioural problem, a relationship problem, a trauma of some kind, or perhaps an enduring non-specific sense of dissatisfaction for no easily apparent reason, psychotherapy with me can be hugely beneficial to find a greater sense of clarity, understanding and relief, as well as providing practical methods to unlock your inherent potential.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. Managing life's challenges and our mental health can be overwhelming. Whether it's anxiety, depression, coping with loss or just working out what's wrong and why we're feeling sad, we sometimes need help with our thoughts and feelings. Working online or in person in Brightlingsea, Essex (between Colchester and Clacton) I work with adult individuals and couples to help them gently explore what's troubling them and to find a way forward.

Life can sometimes be difficult and we may find ourselves struggling and feeling anxious, depressed and unconfident. We may find ourselves battling with the feelings evoked by loss, due to bereavement, relationship breakdown or even the children leaving home. Counselling is not a magic cure, but talking to an empathic, skilled therapist can help; fostering both the processing of difficult feelings and resilience to better deal with what life throws at us, enabling us to move forward. The effect of just being listened to by those who have hitherto struggled to be heard can be both powerful and empowering.

How's life going for you? Life can be hard to navigate on your own, sometimes you need that special time, just for you, where you can focus on your hopes for the future, share honestly about disappointments/worries/hurt without shame or judgment. We often carry pain from our past, that is unspoken and unhealed. Have you faced a lifetime of not feeling good enough, and would love to experience a better view of yourself? Facing a relationship breakdown? Maybe you're grieving a deep loss, whether a person or loss of a desire/future hope? This can be a great place to help find yourself again.
