Email meAbout me
I understand that coming into a counselling room for the first time is daunting, and asking someone else to listen to you can be scary. Just knowing where to start is sometimes quite difficult for clients, we pride ourselves on being warm, welcoming, non-judgemental and empathetic with our clients at all times.
I am aware that when people begin exploring thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours it can be difficult and painful, yet this is what I see leads my clients on to change and they have happier and more positive outlooks.
l work as a Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, however I am also qualified in Transactional Analysis and motivational interviewing and we can incorporate this into therapy if we both agree it would benefit you.
I have experience working as a counsellor for mental health charities such as MIND, within schools and for the NHS. I have worked with adults, children and young people, as individuals or as families/ couples, giving me vast experience in a range of areas.
I have offices in Southend, Rayleigh, Brentwood and Chelmsford. All easily accessible from the surrounding high streets.
