Transpersonal Counselling in Chelmsford
If you’re here, something may not feel right. You might be managing anxiety that never fully switches off, carrying the weight of trauma, navigating relationship strain, or simply feeling stuck and exhausted.
I pride my practice on being down-to-earth, professional, non-judgmental and confidential. Therapy with me is structured and evidence-based, but never cold or overly clinical. Clients often say they value having a therapist who is steady, straightforward and genuinely human.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Some people come with clear goals; others just know they can’t keep going as they are.

I have had additional training in Transpersonal Psychology, Child and Family Mediation and EMDR.
I am a senior psychologist with over 20 years of experience, registered with the HCPC in the UK and the HPCSA in South Africa. I am EMDR trained. I have also trained as a Child and Family Mediator, which informs my work with couples and families, particularly those navigating separation and co-parenting arrangements. My practice is integrative, which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and shape each piece of work around the person I am working with. Frameworks I rely on include solution-focused therapy, Jungian and depth psychology, CBT, EMDR, narrative therapy and transactional analysis.

I work with symptoms: depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, panic attacks, mistrust, hypervigilance, hopelessness, self-destructive behaviour, loss of sense of self.

Your might be concerned because your child has recently become angry, anxious, withdrawn, a bit more challenging or has developed difficulties in school.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.

Do you feel frightened that your world might fall apart if you look at your sexuality or gender?

You may believe that what’s inside you is too shocking, or wrong or too much for the people around you. You may feel like there’s no-one you can talk to, which can be very isolating .

Welcome.
My name is Chloe and I would like to support you in your journey to living a more fulfilled life. I believe that therapy can allow us the time and space to help reflect and understand ourselves better. This in turn helps us to facilitate personal growth, limit internal conflict and reduce anxiety.
Research has shown that the basis for a successful outcome in therapy is a good therapeutic relationship, and so building a strong working alliance is something I prioritise in sessions. Working collaboratively, I aim to help you reflect on what is coming up for you in our sessions.

Hi, I’m Matt. I know how hard it can be to take that first step toward feeling better. But if your struggling for whatever reason, I think I can help. For many years I’ve been studying how thoughts and emotions work together to shape our experience, and sometimes cause us great suffering. This led me to develop a system of therapy combining counselling, visualisation and meditation techniques, to help to process painful emotions and bypass negative thought patterns. Often, bringing a new found sense of peace, clarity and joy.

Approaching therapy can be a frightening decision but going through difficult moments in life alone may be even worse. You might be feeling hurt or uncertain about what is happening. There may be specific patterns of behaviour that come up that you do not understand or simply you might feel adrift, angry or anxious, struggling with the challenges you are facing. I aim to make therapy a place for you to come and really look at what is going on, so together we can begin to see things from a new angle. I am a qualified integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP.

Hi, I'm Kes, I'm a lived experience informed counsellor and most of the people I work with are neurodivergent and/or queer-identifying. There's so much drama and heartache in many of our lives, yet I firmly believe there should be more love, peace and understanding - and that it is possible! Maybe you're here because you want to show up for yourself and others, honour your authenticity and your needs, and make the most of your precious time on earth. This is where therapy begins. It may be hard work, however you don't have to do it alone. Try up to six sessions to see if therapy benefits you, and if you want to continue with more.

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
