Counselling in Chelmsford

As a professionally qualified Psychodynamic, Compassion Focused Therapy and EFT Tapping therapy counsellor, I offer a confidential, non-judgemental online space (Zoom) for sensitive, compassionate exploration of problems, within a relationship built on trust. I see counselling as a caring, cooperative, empathetic endeavour in which the counsellor and client look together at patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviours to find insights and new ways forward. I offer therapy tailored to the individual’s issues, looking into problems in depth, drawing on a range of theories and techniques flexibly, within a compassionate perspective.

I offer integrative child and young people's counselling and therapeutic child and teenage support. All our children and young people sometimes go through phases where not everything is going to plan. There might have been a bereavement, exam stress, bullying or sudden life changes have had an impact on their self esteem. Your might be concerned because your child has recently become angry, anxious, withdrawn, a bit more challenging or has developed difficulties in school. Sometimes they also struggle to find good friends, put themselves at risk or their physical health becomes affected.

Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Taking those first steps can be daunting and difficult. Sometimes we can feel stuck and unsure where to start, I offer face to face, online or telephone counselling to work through what you are feeling at the moment.

Clients have come to me for many different reasons. From dealing with past traumas, connecting with their emotions and understanding their reactions, to working on a better sense of self and building confidence. Each client comes to therapy seeking a safe and non-judgmental space to unpack their thoughts and emotions. They often come because they don't feel heard in their day-to-day life, or need somewhere to explore emotions without fear of reactions or feelings of guilt.
