Counselling in Southend-on-Sea

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Maybe you have experienced a loss, relationship break-up or trauma? Or perhaps you are suffering from depression and anxiety and you can't quite find your way out of a hole? I hear you - and I think it's possible to guide you back to a more vibrant way of living. Transactional Analysis is a creative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy. Using all of the incredible tools TA has to offer and working with you as a unique individual, I believe we can get you thriving.

I can help you to reach the potential that you want and deserve to reach by helping you to understand your past, present and future. To help you to work through relationship problems, self esteem issues or letting go of the past. To enable you to see past blocks and obstacles so that you can control, minimise and eliminate any anxieties. To work with the negative emotions that you feel so that you can identify quickly what your emotions are telling you and then challenge them so that they do not control you. To magnify the positives and build on them for complete self confidence.

I have a background in Social Care where I worked with complex family and relationship issues. Through my experience I have come to understand how instrumental caring, supportive relationships are to reducing stress and increasing emotional well-being. It has led to a passion for working as a therapist to help people improve relationships, to feel connected to, heard and valued by spouses, partners, friends and family. Through resolving conflict, repairing hurt, anger and where you are able to let go of resentments it can lead to a healthier sex-life and sexual functioning.

I am a professional accredited counsellor, experienced, registered member MNCPS working with clients with a variety of different issues such as relationships and couples / including psycho sexual; addictions; domestic abuse, depression, anxiety, work related stress, building confidence, self esteem, loss and bereavement.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the stresses in life? Feel unable to make decisions? Do you condemn yourself for making the 'wrong' decision? We can be good at condemning ourselves and be our worst critic. Discovering what patterns are happening for us over and over again, and preparing yourself for these, knowing what you can and can't do, can feel empowering. Being able to express yourself knowing that you can be heard without fear, embarrassment or shame but with acceptance of you as a person can be life changing. I can help you look at making changes and find bespoke ways to support and establish a way forward for you.

I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor and a member of the BPS. I am trained in Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamics. I specialise in Relationship and Family Counselling, Dementia and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, work-related stress and breakdowns. I also have vast experience of bereavement counselling. I have many years experience (9+) of working with Carers/family members who care for their loved ones who are living with Dementia. When caring for a loved one, our own emotions and feelings can sometimes be forgotten.

At times do you feel overwhelmed by what life throws at you? Is stress making you unable to make decisions? Are you a person who rebukes themselves for making a wrong decision? Are you your own worst critic? Have you noticed that patterns in life are continually repeating themselves? By becoming aware of these cycles, you will be able to prepare yourself with strategies that can break the cycle of repetition that can lead you to becoming empowered in life, taking away the fear of being embarrassed or shamed. I can help you look at making changes and find a way that is customised to support and establish a way forward for.

Most of my clients come to me knowing they are not happy but they don't always know why. Sometimes it is because of the people and circumstances around them and sometimes it is because they keep repeating the same behaviours that are not producing a happy life for them. My job is to help people understand what it is in their lives that they are not happy with, or want to change and to imagine a life with the new changes in it. I work with the client to provide a safe, comfortable environment for them to explore what is going on for them and how they can make the changes to live a happy, fulfilling life.

This can enable us to move forward. To live a life of fulfillment, acceptance to reach your best potential and find peace within that. First session is used to explore what counselling is like in more depth. This enables me to understand your wants and needs for us to move forward together.

Ever feel like you have a lot going on in your mind? Isolated? Alone, with no one to talk to about it all? Or maybe you just don’t feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with your family? Perhaps, you are getting to a stage where you’re feeling as if you’re in a deep dark hole unable to get out, with an uncertainty of the future. Life can be challenging and get on top of us, whether it’s: other people, situations, work or even ourselves. We can get into a negative cycle and sometimes are unable to admit that we need help. If any of this applies to you, then maybe it's time to try therapy?

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.

Are you looking for effective help to deal with trauma, panic and anxiety? Are you fed up with labels and diagnoses that do nothing to resolve the symptoms and pain that you're suffering with? CPTSD, PTSD, GAD and BPD are labels that define your symptoms, but that don't tackle the cause or do anything useful to relieve them. I specialise in helping people with anxiety and PSTD and have helped many people just like you, who have been struggling, sometimes for decades. I won't dredge up unnecessary past experiences - I only work with what is relevant. Also if you prefer, you won't have to speak in detail about your issue.

I am a qualified clinical psychologist with over 15 years experience working within NHS and private sectors. I have experience working with adults, adolescents and children experiencing a range of emotional and mental health difficulties. During your initial assessment, I take time to get to know you and your presenting issues taking into consideration past experiences, family dynamics and issues that you feel need addressing or are holding you back. We would then develop a person centered care plan to best suit your needs & goals. I am experienced in dealing with a range of mental health conditions along with more exploratory work

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.
