Divorce Counselling in Chelmsford

I understand that seeking counselling can be daunting, but I have experienced it to be very rewarding for many people. As an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor I can offer a confidential, safe and stimulating space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and personal story. Being client-centred, I tailor therapy to your needs as an individual and work with what you decide to bring to each session. 'Integrative' means that I draw upon different models according to you the client.

Many of us are trying to cope with issues like anxiety, depression and bereavement. We can feel low, sad, unhappy or confused and not know why. Sometimes this can get too much and we begin to struggle. Whatever you bring to our sessions, you can talk openly without fear of judgement. No problem is too small or too big. I'm here to listen and to help. Together we will find a way for you to understand what is affecting you and for you to move on with your life.

Life throws up things that we don’t expect, testing our resilience and ability to overcome situations that are often not of our own making. Talking can be key in understanding your predicament and help you move forward. That old saying "a problem shared is a problem halved" really is true. Talking about a problem makes it seem less daunting or troubling. As a counsellor I can offer you that safe, secure place to talk and help you find the right way for you.

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.

Life can be unpredictable and often things are put in our paths that have an impact on our psychological & Emotional wellbeing. Sometimes these issues can take their toll and cause us pain and suffering, partly due to pushing them to the back of our minds, bottling up or just trying to ignore them in the hope they may just go away. Quite often we try to maintain a brave face and show the world that we can cope, but the reality is, when we ignore difficult experiences, feelings and thoughts they are trapped inside. Never really disappearing, they stay just in the background within continuing to impact our view of self & our world.

Welcome to KJL Counselling. I am a Registered Counsellor, providing advice, support and signposting for issues relating to Mental Health and Child & Family Practice. I have over twenty years of experience working with adults, families and young people experiencing challenges regarding their mental health and emotional wellbeing, specialising in working with Individuals, women and young adults (17yrs +). My approach focuses on integrated styles of working which means I can provide therapy that is tailored to meet each individual’s needs.

For me whatever my client brings to our safe space is important-as well as myself being unconditional to all they open up about. They may feel it is less important to 'other issues' that 'other people' may have, but to me, all problems or troubles that someone is going through, are valid. I have three years experience working as a counsellor with children and young persons as well as adults. I have worked with the bereaved in a Hospice for two and a half years, other agency settings and also my private practice in Chelmsford where I offer counselling for children from the age of 4 up, young people and adults.

Firstly, I want to acknowledge your courage in seeking help. Maybe you are experiencing overwhelming anxiety, sadness, depression, hopelessness, pain of loss, panic, anger, or feeling powerless? I believe your thoughts and emotions deserve to be heard, respected and received with care, in order that together we can explore them so you can understand them. I combine my professional training with creativity and insight, working non-judgementally with genuine warmth. In a calm, comfy environment we will work together to enable you to leave unhelpful thoughts, emotions and behaviours behind.

Each of us face times in life when we experience difficulties which can lead us to feel anxious, stuck, or depressed. I offer a safe and confidential space for you to share thoughts, emotions and life experiences. I aim to always create a warm and collaborative environment going at your pace in which you can express yourself without fear of judgement. I have a gentle yet sincere approach which has the ultimate aim of unlocking your own resources to help you to achieve your potential and lead a more fulfilling, healthy, and satisfying life.

Hi, I'm Ella, and I'm a qualified Counsellor, based in Chelmsford, offering face to face and virtual support tailored to your individual needs. I offer a supportive environment where you can feel comfortable to talk about your thoughts, feelings, choices, and experiences, without fear of judgement. A place where you feel heard and respected. ​ We are all unique, and our experiences, and the challenges we face are unique to each of us.

" I need help" are perhaps the bravest three words we can say. Are you feeling hopeless or overwhelmed? Are you finding it difficult to cope with grief, illness or relationship breakdown? Are experiences from the past affecting you in the present? Is anxiety, depression or stress holding you back? Would you like something to change? I became a counsellor to help people find hope when things feel hope-less. Developing a therapeutic relationship together where you can be heard and understood, without being judged is at the heart of the service I offer.

I try to make therapy as available to as many people as I possible can. The cost of therapy can be quite steep so I keep my prices as low as I can so that more can access it. Therapy is about getting to where you want to be by making your own unique road map, so that you can use it again in the future if need be. I'm an Addiction Psychologist by trade, with 18 years of private practise behind me, but a lot of my work is helping many different age groups with problems such as OCD and PTSD etc. Please feel free to contact me and we can have a chat to see if i can be any help to you.

I am the founder of Chelmsford Talking Therapy and an experienced, fully qualified Registered and Accredited Counsellor. Whilst my core approach to counselling is psychodynamic, I am flexible in my practice and always open to exploring client options in line with your own individual needs. My client base is wide ranging. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with acute anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bereavement, work related and personal stress, anger problems and difficulties relating to trauma/PTSD. I offer counselling to children, young people, Adults, couples and families, in person and online.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and offer therapy to adults and young people (min. age 18). My core belief is that everyone is capable and deserving of positive change in their life. I am trained in a number of therapeutic modalities. I find that, just as each individual is unique, so too is the therapeutic experience. I am able to tailor these techniques to meet your individual needs. The therapeutic relationship is very much an alliance; one in which we can work collectively to explore your sense of self and empower you to gain the tools and awareness you need to make positive changes in your life.

I work with adult and younger adults who are experiencing anxiety or depression. People who are stuck in a pattern of over thinking, worrying and self criticism. You may know the reason , you may not . It may stem from the past or present connected to relationship issues, work and career worries or a general feeling of anxiousness and and not feeling happy.. You are needing someone who knows and believes that getting past this is possible and will help you find a way through. My role is to help you understand why you are feeling this way and how our own in built patterns can hold us back in life from the things we want and need.

I use an integrative approach as I do not believe that one style fits all. This means that I will suggest utilising the most appropriate approach according to individual needs and wants. The main approaches I work with, but not limited to, are TA (Transactional Analysis), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Humanistic Therapies. I am also a qualified Europe and UK EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapist, a treatment with great success for different types of trauma, PTSD, assaults, rape, phobias, illness, injury, anxiety, self-esteem, stage fright/ performance/ tests and relationship issues.

Our aim at the Chelmsford Counselling and Therapy Centre is to inspire growth , help clients bring about change leading to self - fulfilment. I work along side a group of Counsellors and Therapists so be can be very responsive to client needs. We work with adults, children as well as couples.

If this is your first time coming into therapy, welcome. I know it can be daunting, but please remember you’ve made a decision to help yourself and that is a massive step in itself. Living these days can be very difficult for some people on a daily basis without any other stress, pressure, demands, anxiety, or feelings of being overwhelming coming into the mix. We all need a little help from time to time and I am here to help you not have to carry those heavy burdens alone. My main focus is on you; your aims, your truth, the real you, you feel you longer can be and how we can work together to get you back on track.
