Counselling

Hello and Welcome

​

I am a qualified Person-Centred counsellor that works with adults and young people based in the Rochford area. I offer face-to-face therapy in Rochford, telephone counselling and I also offer walk and talk therapy for clients who may benefit from using the outdoor environment for sessions. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am fully insured and hold an enhanced DBS.

​

Life can be challenging at times and we can find ourselves in a dark and sometimes                                                                                  lonely places where we perhaps do not have a place to share honest thoughts and                                                                          uncomfortable feelings. I offer that place, a safe confidential space free of judgement                                                                            for you to open up and talk about those challenges. Over a period of time, I hope that                                                                              we are able to build a trusting professional relationship together. It is my nature to be                                                                      patient, empathetic and warm in my approach and through my own personal lived                                                                            experiences I began my counselling process and found it to be very healing. I want to be                                                                        able to offer my clients the opportunity to move forward and create a more fulfilled life.                                                                         I believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is the most important part                                                                        of therapy, and I work to create a safe and comfortable environment where you can explore                                                                  your most important needs.

 

I have worked in many areas and can help with a wide range of difficulties. I have worked                                                                extensively with bereavement and loss, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and                                                                                   self-esteem. I am committed in my work to help you and welcome individuals of all                                                                    backgrounds, cultures, faiths, genders, and sexualities.

First Session

​

I offer a free introductory 10-15 minute phone call for us to get to know each other before we begin our work together. This is a good time to ask any questions you might have about starting therapy with me and we can also look at what you are looking to achieve from your sessions. There is no obligation to commit to therapy. 

I also do online sessions for counselling so if you are unable to meet me in person let me know and that can be arranged.
