Counselling in CO1

Sometimes we all need additional support to navigate difficult times and making a decision to seek help for our personal problems can be daunting. I believe in creating a safe space to work together, where you are the expert in your own experiences and I have the experience and expertise in psychological theories and techniques. I believe that by bringing together this expertise we can work together to enable you to achieve your unique personal goals. Some of the relationship problems I work with include communication issues, affairs and betrayals, family issues, parenting issues, separation and divorce.

I am a BACP Registered and Counsellor & Psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience in working with individuals, and groups of all ages, sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds. I am based in the Colchester CO1 and Liverpool Street EC2 and dependent on your presenting issues/needs will draw on cognitive, psychodynamic, attachment, and relational theories and concepts, to provide either short-term-focused counselling/therapy or longer-term in-depth psychotherapy.

We are all able to agree that our physical health is variable, but it may be much harder to admit that our psychological health is in constant flux. All too often, we find ourselves buying into the idea of the "stiff upper lip": that "mental health issues" affect only other people - and "weak people", at that! It can be very daunting, therefore, to recognise that we need help and then to take steps to find a professional who will help things improve. I understand those concerns, because I've been there: and I also have experience of the positive effects of psychotherapy - from both sides of the consulting-room!

Hi there, my name is Ellie and I am a Counsellor specializing in trauma and the common coping skills that develop from it's effects. These include the areas of disordered eating, body image issues (including body dysmorphia), addiction (self-medicating to avoid the effects of trauma), being drawn to abusive relationships and patterns of becoming stuck and paralyzed in these damaging dynamics. The heart of my therapeutic work is to help clients discover their authentic self and to gently dis-engage from painful old beliefs they may have internalized from complex and overwhelming environments.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or stressed? Have you suffered relationship breakdown, loss or bereavement? Do you have an addiction or patterns of behaviour such as anger, fear, low self-esteem or shyness, that are affecting your happiness and relationships? Are you worrying about the future, or something in the past? Are you struggling at work or home, with family, colleagues or friends? Do you feel alone, unable to talk about how you are feeling? Do you want to talk to someone who is caring, supportive and confidential, who will listen without judgement, helping you gain understanding and find a way through your problems?

​Hello! My name is Charlotte and I am a counsellor who is a registered member of the BACP. (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) I have a 1st Class (Hons) BSc Counselling degree and I am a integrative practitioner. ​This means I use aspects from different types of counselling to create a tailor made counselling experience. ​​I use aspects of Person-centred counselling, CBT, and Psychodynamic counselling as well as drawing on other techniques from other counselling theories. I also specialise in working with children using theraputic creative play.

As a BACP accredited counsellor I have over 12 years experience of working with individuals with a variety of emotional difficulties. These include but are not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, marital problems, low self esteem, existential anxieties and relationship difficulties. At the core of what I offer is building a trusting, non judgmental relationship so that you can feel safe enough to explore deeper feelings, and very importantly find your own, sustainable solutions or sometimes just find your way of managing and accepting certain difficulties. I also have many years experience of working with counselling students.

Counselling is the opportunity for you to openly talk about your worries, thoughts and feelings in a safe, confidential environment allowing you to gain your own understanding of your process. My therapeutic approach is Person-Centred, which is non-directive and led by the client, exploring own thoughts, emotions and behaviours with no judgement ending with you gaining more effective coping strategies and a deeper understanding of yourself. My approach will not be to advise, but to encourage you to talk and explore at depth. I truly believe you are the expert in your own life and I will support you in this journey of discovery.

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.

A warm, relational approach is the foundation of my work with children, young people and their parents. As an Integrative Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, I aim to enable each person to communicate and feel understood from the depth of their experience. This means finding each person's unique ways of expressing themselves, and tailoring my technique to meet them "where they're at". I create a safe space so that children and young people are able to bring their most painful feelings and thoughts out into the room with me. At the same time, humour and fun are important elements of my work.

I am a fully qualified Child and Adolescent counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I also work with families and adults. My training was in psychodynamic however, I have developed into an Integrative counsellor. This means, I able to adapt my counselling style to suit many different needs. I have worked with a range of issues. Including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, body image, eating disorders, bereavement, gender issues, ADHD, ASD, attachment issues, self harm, neglect, domestic abuse - physical, emotional and sexual. We all need to be heard and listened to. It is ok, not to be ok.
