Counselling in Wickford

Firstly I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Taking those first steps can be sometimes confusing and difficult. Sometimes we can feel stuck, or sometimes we just do not know what our issues are, or how we have got to this point in our lives. As a counsellor I am here to offer you a safe and confidential space without judgement so you are able to explore and work through any issues you may feel you have in your life at the moment to help you gain some clarity and empower you to take those steps and move forward in your life.

After many years of my own struggles and trying to navigate the emotional turmoil of my chaotic life I made the decision to start therapy. This journey allowed me to unravel the complex emotions that kept me a prisoner in my own head for many years. Therapy set me free and allowed me to explore and understand the trauma of my childhood and the damaged inner child living inside of me as an adult. I was able to let go of my past and live a more fulfilling life. As I healed I decided to become a therapist and help people just like you. If you feel stuck and want to move forward please get in touch.

Hello, I would love to be able to help if I can. I provide a caring, safe space to allow clients to explore issues that may be preventing them leading a fulfilling life. I have been a qualified Counsellor for 16 years. I have worked with individuals, couples and groups on a wide range of issues including, bereavement, anxiety, all forms of abuse, relationship issues, low self esteem, burn out, marriage difficulties, family issues, and many more.

Hello, My name is Leanne and I am a fully qualified counsellor in Essex. I have over ten years' experience volunteering and working in mental health; currently in the NHS as a CBT therapist. I also deliver Mental Health First Aid training. I offer face to face sessions in a private space with off street parking. I also offer online (zoom) and telephone sessions.

My experience in secondary schools working with children and young people has given me an understanding of how challenging life can be for our children. Often parents/carers find themselves feeling helpless as they see their child experience anxiety, low self esteem, self harm, isolation, suicidal ideation... I have been a practicing counsellor for children and young people in schools, agency settings and in private practice for over 5 years. My specialist qualification is in children and young people and I am an accredited member of the BACP demonstrating a higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner.

My goal is to help you to manage the challenges that you face in life. Your issues may be around dealing with illness, loss and bereavement or extreme stress and anxiety - my specialist areas. I help you to become more confident, increasing your self esteem and self worth and finding ways to challenge your negative thinking. Counselling may not always change your circumstances, but I can help to cope with them better. My integrative approach means I use different styles depending on your needs. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and safe space in which to explore your concerns. This can be short term or longer term work.

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.

Are you looking for a counsellor because you've been told you need counselling? Or have you finally decided you need to see a counsellor, after realising you just need to sort your head out! Maybe you've been thinking about it for some time, but have felt just too scared, or maybe a little terrified at the thought of sharing what's in your head. Questions like, 'What if a counsellor makes me talk about stuff I'm not ready to dredge up?' 'What if I don't know what to talk about?' 'What if I can't handle if?' So my answer is, I was a client once, I get it, and you won't be asked to talk about anything you're not ready too.

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.

If you have got this far you probably have an inkling that to talk about what is troubling you might help. Why not give it a try? Perhaps you are wondering how it works. The short answer is we work together to make connections between your past experience and your present life. It is as we become more aware of these connections that change can flourish. Why not take a step of faith and see where "talking about it" gets you?

I work with children, young people and adults. I provide a safe and trusting space to enable my clients to explore what it is that has brought them to counselling. I believe in empowering my clients so they explore their feelings and experiences, to work towards liberating themselves from these restricting and overwhelming feelings in order to live a happier life, with more self worth and confidence.

Are you looking for a younger person to work with in therapy? Or you may be a young person yourself. I am a trained counsellor and coach - a qualification gained after a degree in Psychology. Our work together will provide you with somewhere you can talk openly, where you can come each week to say what you’ve been wanting to say, and feel what you’ve been wanting to feel. All of our lives are complex, and all of them have challenges. However, we don’t always have a space to process these challenges. We can find, together, what changes and resolutions might help.

I am an experienced, professionally qualified and BACP registered Counsellor. I hope to be able to offer you a safe, confidential environment that can support you to explore areas within your life that are troubling you, thus promoting awareness and personal resilience. I understand that sometimes there is not always an answer to every problem and sometimes it is simply about taking the journey with another person that actually makes the difference. Counselling is not an easy option it takes courage and strength. It helps us think about things in a different light and from a different perspective.

Hi, I'm Paul. If you are here then you may be suffering, struggling or in pain. You may have considered reaching out for help from a therapist for some time or may have taken the plunge but not received the support you wanted or needed. You may have a fear of opening up or trusting. A fear that if the tears come they will never stop. You may have lived with anxious feelings for years or maybe a nagging sensation that your life isn't what you want it to be. If so, then the good news is that it doesn't have to be that way. I believe that your life and your relationships can get better and I'm here to help you make that happen

I am a BACP registered counsellor, deeply passionate about helping people. Through my own personal life experience and mental health challenges, counselling and psychotherapy has given a life perspective I would have never imagined before. I truly believe we each have our own answers, sometimes buried deep within us. Therapy is a process to unearth them - perhaps when they are needed most.

We all are individuals and experience life uniquely. There are times in our life when we find we are struggling with emotions, thoughts, patterns of behaviour and relationships. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety and struggling to manage the thoughts which are stopping you from achieving goals in your life? Or low mood that can feel like there is no pleasure in life? Are there relationship issues with family, partners or friends? You may have just had a diagnosis and are unsure what this means for you? I offer an individual tailored therapy known as integrative therapy which incorporates person centred, CBT and DBT online.

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. My specialities include Relationship+Family Counselling, Anxiety+Depression, Abuse+Narcissism and Grief+Loss
