Michelle Saunders

Hello, My name is Michelle, welcome to my page!

Whether you are looking for a counsellor for yourself, or for someone else, I realise what a daunting task it can be. Many people spend a long time thinking they can just "snap out of it",  "sort themselves out" or thinking "nothing can be done, this is just the way life is" 

Perhaps you don't think what you are going through is bad enough for counselling. Or...maybe you have had so much trauma in your life that you just don't know where to start.

Some people worry that their problem is just too embarrassing or that a counsellor will think they are weird. Some will be so ashamed of their thoughts/feelings/behaviour or the events that took place in their lives that they can't bring themselves to say it out loud to themselves let alone someone else.  I would like to reassure you that I am here for you, at whatever pace you are comfortable with, to not just listen, but to really hear you and support you as you move forward. 

The fact you have found yourself here suggests that you are looking for change in some aspect of your life and you are thinking about reaching out for help. Many people aren't sure what counselling is exactly and that's OK. I can explain everything to you, before you tell me anything if you prefer.

Knowing what a difficult decision this can be I don't want to overwhelm you with lots of counselling jargon and pages and pages of text. Following, I will give you some basic information and a link to my website should you wish to find out more about me and the work I do. 

I offer private counselling, either by phone, online or face-to-to face in Southend-on-Sea. My counselling rooms in Weston road are quiet and comfortable, conveniently located near to bus and train routes with adequate parking nearby. There are a number of businesses operating from this address adding an extra layer of confidentiality.

I also have a counselling room in Welcome Gym in Southend-on-Sea, there is a little background noise (which many prefer) but I love the fact that people can access counselling with me whilst everyone else thinks they are working out and/or having a sports massage. 

Whether you prefer to work together face to face, by phone or online is entirely up you and this can change weekly depending on your circumstances. The content of these sessions is also in your control, you can tell me as much or as little as you like.

I offer a free, no obligation, confidential telephone consultation where we can discuss what you need support with, any questions you may have and decide if we are both happy to work together. If I am unable to provide you with the support you need I may be able to recommend someone that can.

If you would like to find out more about me and what I do, please visit my website www.t1dcounsellingessex.co.uk or alternatively text or call 07305686103 or email info@t1dcounsellingessex.co.uk
