Lesley Patchick at Affinity Counselling Essex

About me

Hello, I’m Lesley and my aim is to offer you a counselling service that empowers you to make the changes that can help you lead a happier, more contented life.

As an experienced BACP registered counsellor, I can offer you a professional, safe, cared-for and confidential environment which will support you in exploring the aspects of your life that are troubling you.

I am committed to ensuring you receive the therapy that suits your individual needs and therefore offer a free half hour introductory session.

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 and more content. Counselling, in a supportive and collaborative way should empower you and help you grow in self- awareness and resilience.

The foundation of my work is in Person Centred Counselling, which means you talk about whatever you feel comfortable with. You are the expert on you and we work together with what you feel is important. However, because no two people are the same, we are all unique, I may blend other therapies to help you find your way and move forward. These include creative therapies; Inner Child work; Transactional Analysis; Gestalt; Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Techniques.
