Terry Smith

Hello, my name is Terry,

If this is your first time coming into therapy, welcome. I know it can be daunting, but please remember you’ve made a decision to help yourself and that is a massive step in itself.

I have been involved in counselling for over 11 years now, working with people of varying backgrounds with differing concerns, some more complex than others.

My main focus is you and how we can work together to get you back on track.

Life these days can be very stressful, pressured, demanding, anxious and overwhelming on a daily basis without any other difficulties cropping up. No wonder we all need a little help every now and then I’d like to be that help.

A majority of my therapeutic career has been working with individuals suffering from one addiction or another, underneath these addictions they are weighed down by the struggles that affect many people. It is these struggles we have addressed that have helped them get back up on their feet, hold their head up high and begin to feel a useful and worthwhile part of society.

In my private practice, I have worked with clients bringing similar burdens that have finally been too much for them to carry alone anymore, clients generally present with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, unhealthy relationships, low self-worth, lack of self-identity, and a vast array of self-defeating conditions. As a result, my practice has evolved into a more holistic therapy, working deeply with empathy encouraging self-compassion in my clients as a starting point for greater awareness, well-being, and personal growth

I offer a safe space for you to talk without fear of judgment. Somewhere you where you can talk freely and truly express what is going on for you, with an aim for you to resolve the internal conflicts troubling you and move on with your life.

The Hockley Practice is a warm and safe environment, where you can feel confident to share what is troubling you.

We will work in a therapeutic partnership together to bring resolution to whatever is troubling you, empowering you to move on with confidence, greater self-awareness, and the ability to be proud of you.

 Offer a free 15-minute telephone assessment, where we will discuss whatever brings you to therapy and how we work together to bring a resolution for you.

Springfield Road therapy practice is located in Chelmsford City centre with Car parking available.

The practice has two rooms, One providing an adult therapy space and the other providing a Children & Family therapy room. Both rooms have been recently refurbished and are compliant with the most recent COVID-19 guidelines.

Unfortunately, the practice is located on the first floor of a listed building so is not able to provide disabled access, It is possible to discuss your therapy needs should you require disabled access and find somewhere appropriate for you for the session to take place. 

Our first session will last up to 50 minutes at a cost of £10 (purely the cost of the room). During this time you can discuss what has brought you into therapy and allows us an opportunity to get to know each other and discuss how counselling will help you.
