Email meAbout me
My name is Sinéad, I am a Counsellor working in the centre of Colchester and I offer weekend counselling as well as during the week. I have a private practice In Essex and work for a charity providing counselling. I have experience of working with lots of issues including relationship issues, family issues, loss, anxiety and depression. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and through our dialogue we can work on discovering patterns of behaviour and develop greater self-awareness. By working together you will be able to cope with the difficulties you are currently experiencing.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and a qualified Counsellor of Gestalt Therapy.
Having a Gestalt approach means that I work with what has brought you to therapy. I believe the most important thing is for you to be listened to and understood and to be given space to bring in whatever is worrying you, or for us to carefully dig deeper and explore more profound issues. You have the necessary resources to heal yourself. However, I know that sometimes we get stuck and need some support. My goal as a therapist is to help you see clearly what your situation is, find out your position in it, and experiment with you to find new solutions; through awareness, self-acceptance and change.
I also bring in mindfulness techniques where appropriate and I am interested in the interplay between the mind and the body.
