About us

Hello, we're Michele and Jane, experienced, qualified counsellors and registered members of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), dedicated to providing compassionate, ethical and professional support for children, young people, adults, couples and families.

We know that reaching out for counselling can feel like a big step. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, ADHD, grief, or the impact of trauma, taking that first step can feel daunting. If you're here, you've already taken an important step.

At Castle Counselling Service, we offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can talk openly without fear of judgement. We believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and supported, whatever they are facing.

Together, we work with children, teenagers, adults, parents and couples, helping people navigate life's challenges, make sense of difficult emotions, and develop healthier ways of coping. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, your relationship or your family, we'll work alongside you at a pace that feels right for you.

How We Can Help
We support clients with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:

Anxiety, stress and panic
Depression and low mood
ADHD and neurodiversity
Anger and emotional regulation
Relationship and couples difficulties
Parenting and family challenges
Bereavement and loss
Trauma and difficult life experiences
Self-esteem and confidence
Life transitions and feeling overwhelmed
Whatever has brought you to counselling, you don't have to face it alone.

Our Approach
Every person is unique, so therapy should be too.

Our approach is primarily person-centred, placing your experiences, goals and wellbeing at the heart of every session, while drawing on other evidence-based therapeutic approaches when appropriate. This means your counselling is tailored to you, your circumstances and your goals.

Together, we'll help you:

Understand and manage difficult thoughts and emotions
Build resilience and healthy coping strategies
Improve communication and relationships
Strengthen confidence and self-esteem
Create meaningful, lasting change
What to Expect
We understand that making the first enquiry can feel like the hardest part.

That's why we offer a free 10-minute telephone consultation, giving you the opportunity to ask questions, discuss what you're looking for, and decide whether we're the right fit—without any pressure or obligation.

We offer face-to-face counselling from our welcoming practice in Earls Colne, conveniently located for clients across Colchester, Halstead, Braintree and the surrounding areas, as well as secure online counselling for clients throughout the UK and Europe.

Appointments are available during the day and in the evening, with each session lasting 50 minutes.

Fees
Individual counselling – £60
Parent-child therapy – £70
Couples counselling – £70
Concessionary rates may be available for students and those on a low income.

Take the First Step
You don't have to have all the answers before reaching out.

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply know that something needs to change, we're here to help you move forward with support, understanding and hope.

At Castle Counselling Service, we believe that positive change begins with feeling safe, heard and understood. If you're ready to take that first step, we'd be honoured to walk alongside you. Contact us today to arrange your free 10-minute telephone consultation and begin your journey towards healing, growth and lasting wellbeing.
