Anxiety Counselling in Colchester
It’s not always easy to know how you’re feeling or where to start. Sometimes we are aware of things that have affected us. Other times, things can be harder to recognise. The experiences that shape us can be distinct or more subtle, yet all can affect how we feel, our sense of self, the choices we make, and how we relate to others.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and you are sitting with a problem that may be made worse by a loss or past experience or you are stuck and can’t move forward, it can be beneficial to speak in confidence with someone who is not immediately involved within your circle.
I offer a calm, safe, non-judgemental, empathetic, therapeutic service in a confidential space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and emotions openly, gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and finding their own solution to their issues in the process.

Together, we address the root causes of guilt, shame, and internal criticism that fuel anxiety and overwhelming feelings.

As a qualified Person-Centred & Trauma-Focused therapist, I provide a compassionate, safe space to process your experiences without judgment.

However I work a lot with men who are feeling depressed, anxious, struggling with confidence, anger, having difficulties with work and relationships or feeling dissatisfied with life.
That first step into counselling can feel daunting. My priority is to welcome you when we meet. I'm qualified, experienced and offer a half price first session, usually within a week of contact. Saturday and weekday sessions are available. We all find things hard at times in our lives. When we do, it can be good to work through our thoughts and feelings with someone who seeks to understand, not judge us, and offers helpful reflection on our situation.

As a psychodynamic counsellor with 15 years experience both in the education and NHS sector, I have worked with a range of clinical themes including: trauma, parental illness and terminal illness, anxiety, incontinence, ADHD, absconding, abuse, domestic violence, bereavement and grief, aggression, psychosomatic illness, disassociation disorder, depression, LGBTQ+.
When working with younger clients, I use a range of play, toys, sand tray, art and communication methods to understand and support. With older clients, I use verbal communication and some art-based materials to address the problems that they may be struggling with now and help them become more aware of themselves and and their reactions, relational patterns.

Do you feel misunderstood, to blame, angry, sad, anxious, disillusioned?
Counselling can help you become aware of, understand, accept, change or live with whatever has become overwhelming or seemingly impossible. I work in a flexible way, suiting your individual needs and way of working. My style includes creative work, therapeutic sand play, working with dreams and symbolism, along with more traditional talking therapy.

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!

My name is Rachel, and I am an Art Psychotherapist based in Colchester, Essex. I have an MA in Art Psychotherapy from Goldsmiths College, University of London.
I practise using a non-directive psychodynamic approach, which means you are free to use the art materials in your own way. This method encourages exploration of how past experiences may influence your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
