Counselling in Hatfield Peverel

I am taking a sabbatical from the end of May 2024 so will only be offering short term work until then. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for children, young people, parents and adults. Young people can often have worries that they find hard to talk to their parents about. Talking to someone outside the family can often make all the difference. I offer space for parents to talk about their worries and work on their parenting strategies. Sometimes I work with a parent and child together if there are particular relationship issues. I also work with adults for individual problems.

I understand that seeking counselling can be daunting, but I have experienced it to be very rewarding for many people. As an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor I can offer a confidential, safe and stimulating space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and personal story. Being client-centred, I tailor therapy to your needs as an individual and work with what you decide to bring to each session. 'Integrative' means that I draw upon different models according to you the client.

I work with young people and adults, In a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space, Our lives can become stressful and overwhelming at times. Life can become too much, and it can seem impossible to find peace and balance. You may have difficult feelings or past hurts that are stopping you from moving forward so you are stuck. It can be helpful to talk to a person who is not directly involved so that you can gain more insight and clarity. I can offer you a listening ear and together we can go on a journey to which we can explore your issue. You are the person who knows what is best for you but maybe I can assist you.

I work with overwhelmed parents and couples gain balance in their family life, work life and relationships so that they can begin to enjoy life again and reignite that spark! But, what if you are not in a relationship? Maybe you have suffered a loss? Maybe you are suffering crippling anxiety? Maybe you are worried about a loved one or just feel "stuck". If this resonates, call me for a complimentary 15 minute chat and see how we can find a way forward.

I believe you are the best ProjectYou will ever work on (corny but true!), but sometimes we all need a little support!

Sometimes we all need additional support to navigate difficult times and making a decision to seek help for our personal problems can be daunting. I believe in creating a safe space to work together, where you are the expert in your own experiences and I have the experience and expertise in psychological theories and techniques. I believe that by bringing together this expertise we can work together to enable you to achieve your unique personal goals. Some of the relationship problems I work with include communication issues, affairs and betrayals, family issues, parenting issues, separation and divorce.

There are times in all our lives when we feel we have lost our way, need some to listen or simply want somebody to help us reach the next step in our journey. Maybe that sounds like you and you're looking for help to take that first step, or simply share your concerns in a safe space and really feel heard. My focus is to help individuals heal, energise, and become aware of their inner strengths by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customising a treatment plan.

As well as trauma you may be suffering problems in your life that are holding you back, leading you to feel stressed, stuck, anxious or depressed or you feel like you are stuck in a cycle with no-one to talk to.
