Counselling in Harlow

My name is Amber and I am a qualified and BABCP accredited CBT & ACT therapist offering therapy in Sawbridgeworth & remotely via Zoom and telephone. I can guide you in understanding your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a way you may not have considered before. This can create a space for you to make a positive change and to develop coping strategies for a better life. I thrive on providing personalised care so I will place great importance on growing the relationship between you and I.

If you are at a point in life where you feel stuck or at a point of crisis, and it's preventing your ability to enjoy things as you have normally, you may be needing some extra help to find a way forward. Or if one or more of your relationships with others is becoming difficult, and you don't know why, then this can indicate you are struggling. If your inner world is feeling desperate or muddled and too difficult to manage alone, then counselling can be a positive step in trying to change that. To sit and explore your story and feelings with someone can be powerful in unblocking difficult feelings and to understand what you need.

If you’re struggling and feel you are in need of support then it’s knowing who you can turn to for support and seek the answers you’re after. Why not consider counselling, it can help with issues from anxiety to self-harm. Counselling can offer you an opportunity to understand why you may feel that way, help your mindset change and allow you to grow and flourish as best as you want to. Children and young people want to feel as "normal" as possible and to not feel like the outsider who may be struggling. The end result is for them to own who they are. And this is possible if you want to give counselling a go if you're aged 11-18.

I work with both individuals and couples from a lovely, discreet counselling room on the edge of Epping, within easy distance from Harlow, Loughton, Ongar and Waltham Abbey. I work with people experiencing issues around relationships (whether with a partner, friend or family member) as well as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, loneliness, trauma, sexual abuse, co-dependency, loss and bereavement. I work with couples who have usually either hit a crisis point in their relationship or where things have deteriorated over time and require help to get back on track.

As a CBT therapist I work well with any depression or anxiety based disorders including low self esteem, generalised anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Health anxiety, social anxiety, Phobias and panic disorder. People are often bothered by highly distressing symptoms and have a clear idea about what they would like to get from therapy which is usually a reduction of symptoms and getting life back on track. People often seek clarity and an explanation for their distress followed by solutions of how to deal with them. My specialist area of interests are trauma, GAD, co-morbid long term health conditions and adolescents.

We’re naturally resilient, but it’s very hard to see ourselves sometimes when we’re stuck. Having another person to bounce things off of is freeing- it’s healing. So what does therapy look like? It’s usually a process of being heard, seen and cared about.  My role is in helping you tap into your own inner resources to find the answers that are right for you. I am a qualified Therapeutic Counsellor offering long and short-term work with adults. Counselling is a place where you can speak freely; you will also find humour, compassion and acceptance.

Hi there! Thanks for taking a look at my profile-I hope that you feel able to contact me to arrange an appointment. My name is Sarah and I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society and the Health and Care Professions Council. I have over 10 years of experience working within mental health services offering assessment and therapeutic intervention for a broad range of emotional difficulties. I offer specialist psychological assessment and intervention to adolescents and adults at my Chelmsford clinic or at their home address.

I understand that to make that first call or email for counselling can be extremely difficult, the fact you’re here means you’ve taken the first step towards making positive changes in your life. Are you stuck, feeling lost or alone, afraid or upset? I aim to help you to make sense of your fears, worries and anxieties. Many people find it easier to talk to someone who they see as being separate to their life rather than friends or family. I can help you make sense of experiences of the past and resolve complicated feelings linked to these. Therapy can be used to better yourself, allowing you to take complete control of your life.

Hello there, and welcome to my profile. My name is Anthony, and my goal is simple - to help you take back control, when it comes to your own mental health. So, if you seek the presence of empathy and a deep understanding, alongside a genuine manner that will never judge, feel free to get in touch (I also have an interest in working with the business and education sectors).

Living a life feeling like we're mostly dropping in and out of suffering eventually catches us up. On my journey to becoming a therapist, I'd come to accept that I'd been doing this for the best part of the last thirty years. But for the last five years I've freed myself from the grip of these issues, feel so much better, freer and more confident. I've also come to understand that we can become way too adept at merely surviving life via an almost constant need to find the nearest source of distraction, especially when certain feelings are spiked. Now this isn't about losing these options, but it is about not being stuck with them.

I am a qualified counsellor in Bishop's Stortford and Ongar, delivering counselling services face-to-face or online throughout the UK. Help starts with a conversation. People seek counselling to help them deal with the ups and downs of life. Maybe you've found yourself here because you feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed - or due to an unexpected life event. Having experience working with complex issues and challenging situations, I understand how difficult life can be. I, too, have had many life challenges that brought me into this profession and gave me the passion to help others.

Life can present us with many challenges. Sometimes, the thought of facing our difficulties alone can be overwhelming, but it may be hard to know where to turn for support. My aim as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist is to work collaboratively with you, drawing from a wide range of resources and therapeutic disciplines, to find the approach that feels right for you. Working together in this tailored way, we will be able to recognise your issues, identify your goals, and explore ways in which you may start moving towards a happier, peaceful and more fulfilled way of living.

People reach out to me when they're tired of not feeling good enough. You may not know why you feel like you do and that's okay. Comparing yourself to others may make you doubt yourself. You may struggle to say "no" and worry about what people think. You may feel anxious and/or stressed and find it difficult to switch off properly. Constantly overthinking situations can be exhausting. You may want to find better ways of coping and feel more in control of life. Being more aware of your feelings and needs can help with communication. Putting in boundaries for yourself can improve relationships with those around you.

Welcome. I offer the safe haven that you are looking for. High empathy and attunement to your needs. As you are an individual, you are unique. Care will be taken as I form an understanding of your particular concerns. To me, to be a counsellor is so rewarding. To facilitate and experience the positive changes in the clients who I have been privileged to work with. I have worked in a variety of counselling organisations that cover many issues including ones that specialise in: LGBTQ+, Addiction, Young people (18-25) and also a Children's centre, working with new parents.

Louisa appreciates it may feel a little daunting to be here. As a qualified and experienced counsellor she is able to support with a range of issues including bereavement, depression anxiety, relationship difficulties and Autism. While exploring with you difficulties or changes life may present. Her approach is to come alongside you in a non-judgmental and empathic manner to work through these challenges together. In working in a flexible and integrative way we move towards your goals. Sessions are of a 50 minute duration.
