Transgender Counselling in Chelmsford

I am an Integral Therapist with 13 years experience. I work primarily with older teens and adults in both an educational setting and in private practice. I like to use various tools to support clients with whatever they are facing but above all my focus is person centered on forming a positive therapeutic relationship in order to facilitate change and healing. I aim to provide a safe, non judgmental, friendly environment for clients to explore their problems, seek solutions for change, talk through difficulties in their life and together journey towards change for the better.

Are you struggling with the stresses and strains that family, friendship, and/ or work life can bring and unsure what to do? Life is not always easy or straightforward, our lives can become challenging at times, causing us to feel overwhelmed with an array of complex emotions which can have an impact on our daily lives. Very often we don’t have someone that we can completely share our innermost thoughts and feelings with so having someone who is a trained professional, allows the opportunity to open up and confide in. I trust that I am able to provide a safe, non-judgemental space to work collaboratively with you.

Perhaps you're feeling down or anxious, maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Therapy I offer represents a safe, accepting, confidential space to look at whatever issues you may be facing right now, and find a way forwards. I can offer a chance to be heard and seen, an opportunity to work through your thoughts and feelings, and a time to develop new skills. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support.

I am a fully qualified and insured counsellor. I trained Integratively, which means I use a range of different theories and modalities to support my clients depending on what you need. It might be that you want to look at events from your past that you feel are holding you back or it might be that you want to concentrate on what is going on for you in the here and now, we can do either or both. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of issues and can help support you by offering space for you to work through whatever it is that you are struggling with right now.

Hi, I'm Mary, I am a UKCP Trainee Psychotherapist working. I offer counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples & groups. I help you help yourself, heal yourself and be yourself. I aim to help people achieve their fullest potential in life, whatever that might look like for them. I work relationally, which means our relationship is an important part of our work. Looking at how we relate to each other can give us clues as to how you might relate to people in general. This method of working can highlight any stumbling blocks or areas for change, to help you achieve better communication and understanding in your relationships.

As my client, I will provide you with the space and time to talk freely about your thoughts, feelings, history and experiences. By doing this we may learn more about who you are, your behaviour and crucially how you can become happier and more content in your life. I will support you to explore yourself more deeply and identify the hurdles that stand between you and your goals and ideals. My work has helped people who are suffering with prolonged anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, OCD, low self-esteem, disordered eating, feelings of self harm and suicide and with a focus on past trauma amongst other presentations.

My specialist qualification is in children and young people and I am an accredited member of the BACP demonstrating a higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner.

I am experienced in different life issues: If you are Deaf I can sign BSL or you might be on the Autistic Spectrum. If appropriate I can also work with clients in a home setting.
