"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.

I practices in Southend on Sea. I am a senior counsellor, experienced, registered member MBACP 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. I'm honoured to share the journey with my clients. You choose your own goals then we collaborate to achieve them.

I am a child centred creative therapist specialising in working with primary school children and those transitioning to senior school. Creative therapy is not just “play" or “arts and crafts”. Art created within the context of a therapeutic relationship and creative imaginative play, through storytelling, working with toy figures or drama/masks, is intended to help clients not only to engage in self-exploration, but also involves purposeful meaning-making through visually expressing experiences, perceptions, feelings and thoughts in order to help make the unknown known.

As an experienced BACP registered counsellor, with diverse & varied counselling experience, I can offer you a professional, safe, cared-for & confidential environment which will support you in exploring the aspects of your life that are troubling you. People enter therapy for many reasons. Whatever your circumstances or the obstacles you face, having a confidential space where you are not judged, where it is safe for you to be totally 'you', will be key to assisting you in your journey to a life that feels happier & more content. I can provide this for you.

January can be a tough month to get through at the best of times, especially after the year we've just had! Are you someone who finds it hard to admit you need help anyway, especially if you're a man? Have you put off looking for a Therapist because you haven't had the time? Maybe you have family or business pressures so you've kept your problems to yourself and kept going because there's no other choice. But if other people do rely on you, then your own mental health is key. If we don't make time for our wellness, we make time for our illness, either way we spend the time.

We all have times when life and all the difficulties that go with day to day living can become unbearable,we long to be heard and for someone to show us how to make sense of of it all. I offer a safe non judgemental and empathic counselling environment in calming and comfortable surroundings.Together we can look for answers to the questions and move forward to a more productive stress free life.

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. Many clients just want to be listened to, and for some that is a rare luxury as friends and family often have their own agenda. Regular reviews and goal setting 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.

Has life become a struggle? First comes the initial drink, then you're not able to take control and say enough is enough. After a long week at work, you feel stressed and constantly crave a drink BUT after, you just sit there and ask yourself 'why do I do this' - you just don't know the answer? For years you thought your lifestyle was sustainable but now you realise that it is having an impact on the people around you and you're tired of going round in maddening circles. Ultimately you fear destroying your relationships and losing the love from your, partner, kids, family and friends.

Welcome to my profile. First the informative part. I’m a fully qualified person centred therapist, who is registered with the BACP to maintain high working standards. I truly believe that with the right therapeutic relationship, and a want to change – anything is possible! I will be led by you, in the direction that you would like to go and I have the belief that you will instinctively know where that is. Taking the first step is often the hardest, please feel free to email or call me to ask any questions that you may have.

Do you feel anxious or stressed and finding it hard to cope at the moment? Especially with what is going on in the world at the moment. I have a great deal of experience in helping clients with these issues. I can offer new ways of processing what is going on for you, so that it is not as pervasive and intrusive within your day to day life. I can help you to learn coping strategies which will help to combat these horrible feelings. Together, we can identify your goals in life, whether these are personal, social or professional, and work alongside you towards achieving them. I am professionally accredited by the BACP.

My name is Jo Stephens and I offer Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy in the Southend-On-Sea area. I am based at Therapy for Life based at Weston Chambers in central Southend. In these unprecedented times and having personal experience of anxiety and depression I work with adults and adolescents to alleviate symptoms of anxiety; health, GAD and social etc, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, relationship issues, anger, abuse, and dissociation, as well as providing assertiveness training.

I’m glad you have found your way here, it’s your first step towards feeling better. You may be feeling low or lost and the future feels difficult to see or there are changes you want to make but you don't know where to start. Maybe you are finding relationships hard, struggling with stress, feeling overwhelmed and having panic attacks, want to lose weight or improve your self esteem. Sometimes life gets the better of us and it would help to talk to a therapist.

Firstly, well done to you for reaching out. It takes strength to reach out and search for help. For some people therapy might seem daunting or even a last resort and for others more comfortable with therapy they may know what to expect. As a trained counsellor I will not be able to tell you how to live your life and I don't have the answer to your problems, but what I can do is help you to explore what's going on for you and listen in an empathetic way, without judgement.

Hello, I am the founder of Sparkle Again Therapy and I specialise in working with women over 40, who aren’t happy with their life right now. Is that you? Maybe you’re feeling down or depressed? And you’re not really sure why, but you know something’s wrong? Perhaps your feeling sad, confused, and you don’t know what to do to start feeling better again, well I can help you.

I have ten years of experience as a psychotherapist and twenty years of experience working in mental health care settings (as an Occupational Therapist). I work with people experiencing depression, or feeling sad, anxiety (incl. generalised anxiety disorder), panic, phobias, anger management difficulties, and work related stress. Often people attend as a result of traumas or family or relationship problems (separation, divorce, affairs, betrayals) or when struggling with a bereavement. I see clients from the Essex area

Together we will look at your current issues and problems, understand them. We will look at solutions and ways to move forward. We will explore past issues that could be affecting your current situation. I can help with communication, I can help you to understand yourself and be more self aware. We can look at building your confidence and self-esteem. We can look at helping you become more assertive and believing in yourself. I can help with addictions and breaking that pattern. I can help you be the best version of yourself and live a happier more fulfilling life.

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.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling trapped, lost, struggling or confused. I am qualified and experienced in supporting you in a wide range of issues such as: anxiety, depression, dark thoughts, stress, trauma, addiction, obsessional behaviours, COVID related issues, bereavement, loss, relationship issues, self-esteem or maybe you are just not feeling yourself. We can all reach a point where we decide enough is enough, and I am here to support you to understand and navigate your mind, behaviours and situation.
