Nick Bacon

I am a fully qualified, experienced, BACP registered and accredited  psychodynamic counsellor and founder of Chelmsford Talking Therapy.

I work in full time private practice and offer confidential and therapeutic services for individuals who are struggling with a wide range of difficulties. These include - but are not limited to:

• the suffering of acute anxiety
• depression
• panic attacks
• eating disorders
• bereavement
• anger problems
• and difficulties relating to trauma/PTSD

I also have extensive experience of supporting individuals who are struggling with work-related stress, both on a private basis and via Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP’s). I have worked with employees from numerous services including (and not limited to) the Home Office, Metropolitan Police, British Transport Police, BCH Police, Northumberland Police, Prison Service, Police Scotland, Royal Mail, Yorkshire Ambulance Service, Scottish Government and EPUT as well as numerous schools services up and down the country.

I work with people both on a long and short-term or time-limited basis. I am flexible in my approach and in addition to providing face to face services, I also offer and am very experienced in telephone counselling, as well as counselling via online video links such as Skype or Zoom.

With over nine years' worth of experience providing individual counselling to both Adults and young people as well asfamily therapy, I provide a safe, non-judgemental space for individuals to explore their feelings and gain a greater understanding of different aspects of their lives both in the present and in the past.

It is my belief that having a strong sense of our true selves and our identity plays a large part in determining the quality of our mental health. I also believe that every one of us is different; I value individuality and approach every person who works with me, with that in mind.

Alongside psychodynamic counselling, I also specialise in Brief Solution Focused work which can be particularly beneficial in working towards rebuilding family relationships.

Who can I help?

My work is not limited to adults, I also have significant experience of working with children and young people/adolescents, families and couples, as well as individuals with additional needs such as autism and ADHD. I also have experience in facilitating group workshops for children, young people and adults. I am a recognised practitioner with a number of insurance providers including BUPA Healthcare and AXA.

I am passionate that everyone should be able to access appropriate, professional counselling and mental health support that is right for them. In the event that you feel unable to afford the ongoing cost of counselling, I am happy to explore other options, including subsidised sessions (subject to status), which may make therapy more accessible to you.
