Counselling in Southend-on-Sea

Looking for support doesn't always come easy, in fact many moons ago it took me a long time to reach out and ask for help, however I am here today through support and guidance. I have been a qualified counsellor for over 5 years and work with children, young persons and adults. I aim to work with you, exploring thoughts, feelings and emotions, whilst looking at your individual goal and hopes. We are all different, and that's the beauty of our own individuality, learning and knowing who we are, exploring our own needs, and working towards them. I offer a FREE no obligation chat, so please call if your looking for support.

I understand how hard it can be to take the first step and make the decision to look for a counsellor so finding the right therapist is important for you. I have experienced emotional, physical and sexual abuse myself and narcissistic abuse and gaslighting, which is what brought me into the counselling profession and I have a passion for working with people who have experienced trauma, abuse and relationship problems.

I am a BACP Accredited therapist with a wealth of life experience, as well as experience with counselling people going through a wide range of emotional life events. You do not have to do this on your own. The first step is the hardest and that is to make the call to reach out for help. I offer sessions via telephone, video, or face-to-face.

Whilst working with clients, my goal is to create a stress-free environment where they can speak freely and won’t feel judged. I feel that therapy helps a person become more self-aware, helps with achievement of goals and encourages you to reflect on the best choices for you.

You possess the innate ability to create positive and lasting change to enhance your overall well-being and make life what you want it to be - free from limiting beliefs and restrictive behaviours; as a qualified Integrative counsellor my role is to provide an authentic, patient, constructive and safe space for you to achieve this, whilst offering a flexible and adaptable approach to therapy combining different elements of counselling styles and techniques to tailor your sessions to your individual needs and personal circumstances.

I primarily work in a relational/integrative way drawing on interventions underpinned by psychodynamic and Humanistic theories including mindfulness. I offer individual counselling to adults and young people from the age of 16. I am also a trainee Psychosexual Therapist in my final year of a Masters Degree in Psychosexual Therapy. As part of this current training, I see clients in psychosexual therapy as part of my training as I work towards registration with COSRT.

I am an integrative therapist who values the inner strength it takes one to be vulnerable whilst sharing their lived experience. My focus is to try and walk in one's world. Therefore I value every person I speak to with respect for who they are and how they have got to where they are. I refrain from judging you and provide a source of complete acceptance and support. You will lead the conversation, and I will not attempt to steer you in any direction; instead, I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgemental environment for you to explore and talk about any difficulties you may be experiencing.

Hey! My name is Hayley, I am a person-centred counsellor with a passion for helping others understand and accept life difficulties. By offering my clients a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore their feelings and emotions, I believe, that by being truly listened too, together we can achieve personal growth and a better understanding of the challenges we face. I have worked with men, women and young people experiencing mental health challenges, listening to their needs to build therapeutic relationships with my clients. I can offer sessions face to face in Southchurch and Southend as well as walk and talk therapy.

Over the years most of the client issues I have encountered encompass loss and control in some way, shape or form. Many clients feel out of control, and helpless or in complete despair, and would like to be able to clear a pathway for themselves to work out a more manageable way of living with less anxiety. Clients want to be listened to, and for some that is a rare luxury as friends and family often have their own agenda. Regular reviews to reflect where a client is, in relation to their therapy journey are part of the therapeutic process and help to build trust and structure.
