Transactional Analysis Counselling in Manningtree

Rachel Anderson
Counsellor, MBACP
Serves Area
I have a particular interest in psychodynamic work (exploring childhood), transactional analysis (the way we relate to others) and working with issues such as low self-worth and shame.
Life often feels overwhelming, filled with challenges that tug at our inner peace. If you’ve been searching for a space to reconnect, to process, and to grow, I’m here to guide you with a holistic and empowering approach. My practice has evolved to go beyond traditional methods. My sessions now integrate a blend of talk therapy, hypnotherapy, and personalized self-guidance tools to empower you to take ownership of your healing process. At the heart of my work is the belief that transformation arises when we feel safe, seen, and supported.

Hi, I'm Carolyn. I'm guessing you've already scrolled through a load of profiles wondering how on earth you chose the right counsellor for you. Overwhelming isn’t it? You already know what's troubling you and what brings you here, be that anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, feelings of aloneness, grief and loss, past or present trauma or simply the feeling that something is "off" and you're not as happy as you could or should be. You've already done the hardest part - recognising you need somebody to talk to, now you just have to find the right somebody for you.

Welcome! I am an experienced and accredited counsellor based in Colchester who truly gets it! I work sensitively with adults struggling with childhood Trauma, ADHD, and Anxiety. You won't find me suited and booted with a notebook, but more likely a friendly smile, trainers, and a cup of tea in hand. I came to therapy work through my journey with trauma, ADHD, parenthood, and all the colourful events that life throws at you. I show up as me, hopefully someone you can relate to and feel comfortable with. I will never leave you lost, sitting in silence and feeling analysed.

Some people arrive with a clear understanding of what they’re struggling with, while others simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right. You may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, stuck in repeating patterns, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Others come with bigger questions around identity, meaning, relationships, or how to exist more comfortably in the world. Sometimes these experiences show up not only emotionally, but physically too- through anxiety, tension, numbness, overwhelm, shutdown, or a sense of feeling disconnected from your body.

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.

Hi, I’m Stuart – a UKCP-accredited Integrative Humanistic Psychotherapist. I offer a safe, steady, and compassionate space for you to explore what hurts, what’s held you back, and what you long for. Are you always putting others first? Does it feel like no one hears you, sees you, or perhaps has ever truly cared for you? Are you low, anxious, angry... or have that feeling something about life just isn't right? Maybe you’ve been endlessly scrolling, hoping to find someone who feels right. Someone real. You might not even be sure what you need yet, just that something has to change.
