Education and Learning Disabilities Counselling in Wickford

"The hardest step is making the call, the most rewarding step is knowing that you're in control again." Welcome, my name is Simon, I am a highly qualified friendly experienced Counsellor. I am a accredited member of the BACP and follow the ethical framework. I have worked successfully with individuals from various backgrounds and ages around Essex for a number of years. What I can offer you is a safe space that is confidential and nonjudgmental where you can truly be listened to and within that space we together can explore and find the answers you are searching for.

Hello, I am a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I believe everybody is unique, as such a one size fits all approach does not work. I work from an integrative approach, tailored to work with your needs. This enables you to gain the most out of counselling and achieve what you want to achieve. I offer a relaxed atmosphere where you will be able to examine your thoughts and feelings without being judged and where I will help you to find your own way at your own pace.

Life can be difficult, and counselling can help explore your thoughts and feelings. I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families, children, young people and adults up to any age. I completed my placement hours at St Luke's Hospice and also volunteered after I qualified. I feel I use my skills to help you explore your difficult times to help you understand your situation. I offer counselling, short term or long term. I have worked with many different issues such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and difficulties with relationship issues.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, relationships with others, feeling isolated or alone in relationships, feeling never ‘good enough’ or battling with addiction this could be due to your attachment pattern. How we view ourself in relation to others and the world around us affects us in everyday life. I am a qualified BA (hons) Integrative Counsellor. This means I draw from different theories such as Humanistic, CBT and Psychodynamic including attachment, which enables me to tailor every session specifically for each individual. I have many years experience working for the NHS and in private practice.

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.

Everyone is an individual who experiences life and the issues it throws, in very different ways. No 'one' sure way fits all - that is my Moto. We are individuals. Whatever anyone is feeling they shouldn't believe that they can "just cope" because everyone else seems to be doing ok. Its all relative! Depression/anxiety/stress/ lack of self worth and esteem are all problems in todays society and many suffer in silence. You don't need to. Often by talking and getting your problems out in the open is the first step to healing. Their voice to be heard and feelings to be listened to. Trust and the therapeutic relationship are key.

I understand what a huge step it is in seeking help and support and the courage it may have taken to make the first contact. Whether you are a young person or an adult I will offer you a non-judgemental, empathic safe space to share your thoughts and feelings. I offer individual counselling within my private practice with young people from the age of 8 upwards and adults of any age. I am a warm, friendly, Person-Centred therapist. I want to make a genuine connection with you, so you feel heard understood and supported in whatever you choose to share with me. I will offer you respect, and care about your thoughts and emotions.

I am a passionate, integrative Children and Adolescents Therapist (4-18yrs) MBACP (Accred). I have worked with Children and Adolescents, and their families for 25 years in both the voluntary and statutory sector, as well as the education sector. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents who are survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. My training in Child Counselling and Traumatology and PTSD has enabled me to have a strong foundation in understanding the emotional, social, and psychology, of child’s mental health. I provide a warm, Friendly, Honest, transparent and non-judgemental space.

Reaching out for help can sometimes feel like the last resort and finding the right help can change your life. With over 10 years of experience in working with adults and young people in a variety of settings my aim is to provide a confidential, non-judgmental space for you. I can support clients with bereavement, depression, eating issues, anxiety, relationships, anger and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Are you struggling with the stresses and strains that family, friendship, and/ or work life can bring and unsure what to do? Life is not always easy or straightforward, our lives can become challenging at times, causing us to feel overwhelmed with an array of complex emotions which can have an impact on our daily lives. Very often we don’t have someone that we can completely share our innermost thoughts and feelings with so having someone who is a trained professional, allows the opportunity to open up and confide in. I trust that I am able to provide a safe, non-judgemental space to work collaboratively with you.

My Name is Nikki, I’m an Accredited Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Certified Teacher and EMDR Practitioner. I began my career back in 2004 where I trained as an integrative therapist with an instant liking to Transactional Analysis. Over the years I have trained and learnt many techniques and strategies whilst also researching theories and methods to enhance my work. Over the years I have adapted these methods to provide a very powerful and holistic approach that drives change and empowerment with a variety of issues and concerns with people of all ages.

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.

I provide a safe, supportive and confidential space in which clients can seek insight into any issues of concern. My individual clientele spends all ages including children. I also work with couples and families. Short or long-term therapy is offered. My extensive training allows me to draw upon multiple disciplines to tailor the support to the needs of the client.

I am a Counsellor with a focus on Psychological Counselling. I have been working in this field for over 10 years. I have specialist interest and experience working with a variety of clients who presented a wide range of issues such as Anxiety, Work and Career challenges, Self Development, Relationship issues, Stress and Burnout. etc I believe that people have a better understanding and strive to let them control how sessions proceed. People seek therapy and want to talk to someone for various reasons.
