Transactional Analysis Counselling in Dunmow

I am a BACP Accredited counsellor. I help people have better relationships with themselves and those around them. So, does life is feel overwhelming, your relationships feel strained or are breaking down, you feel anxious, depressed, angry, lost or stuck, or do you have an inner voice that is really mean? Therefore, because of all this do your relationships keep ending the same way, do you keep feeling the same old feelings or engage in behaviours that are harmful? Do you need help to begin to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, other people and even the world?

I have over 14 years' experience of counselling adults/young people. I draw on my skills and experience to help you gain mental clarity over whatever brings you to therapy. I have seen so many positive changes with people feeling happier and achieving a greater sense of well-being. As we work together, you will discover more about yourself and how your life experiences, thoughts, beliefs and feelings have impacted upon your life. Also, we can look at your childhood/ past patterns to help you identify patterns, blocks to moving forward. I offer a free 15 minute consultation, to see if I’m the right therapist for you.

I am a qualified counsellor in Bishop's Stortford and Ongar, delivering counselling services face-to-face or online throughout the UK. Help starts with a conversation. People seek counselling to help them deal with the ups and downs of life. Maybe you've found yourself here because you feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed - or due to an unexpected life event. Having experience working with complex issues and challenging situations, I understand how difficult life can be. I, too, have had many life challenges that brought me into this profession and gave me the passion to help others.

Are you struggling with aspects of your life? You may have already tried to talk about it with friends and family but you still feel unresolved. You might have issues that you feel you can only talk about in a safe and confidential space. There may be times when you feel absolutely fine but there are times when you can't cope from within and you don't understand it. We push difficult issues deep into our unconscious but it still influences our conscious lives. Are there significant events from your childhood that you can't find peace with in your present day? This can leave you feeling despair like you have no control.

There are times in our lives when we're not OK, when we believe that no one understands our struggles, that we alone should fix them, or that things will never change. But it needn't be like this. I specialise in supporting people experiencing: various forms of anxiety (including social, health, stress, work-place) • low-mood and depression • effects of trauma • low self-esteem • addictions and substance dependency • relationship issues. I can help change your limiting thoughts, feelings and behaviours so that you can make sense of your past experiences, find new perspectives, cope with present struggles, and regain your confidence.
