Danielle Cole

Hello! I’m a BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist & an EMDR trauma focused therapist. I have a vast range of experience working with adults & young people for 9 years.

I have worked with many different people with many different needs. I have experienced many clients suffering from an array of problems/issues that effect their lives. To name a few, anxiety/depression, family disputes, social anxiety, eating disorders, relationship break downs, emotional sexual & physical abuse, domestic abuse, loss/bereavement and grief and infant bereavement.  

I currently work in the NHS as a specialist oncology & palliative care counsellor and a specialist infant bereavement counsellor/psychotherapist.  Often I am working with high intensity trauma,  bereavement and pre-loss grief as well as intense loss from an infant bereavement.  

As well as this I also work in a special needs neurodiverse school with pupils aged 11-19 and teachers. 

I have gained experience from working at a Rape Crisis Centre for a number of years. I have experience working in secondary schools with children aged 11-19. I have worked with Mental Health issues at MIND and a Domestic Abuse Centre. My qualifications and continued professional development training are listed below.

My core orientation is Person-Centred which I feel is needed to create an empathetic, respectful trusting relationship. However I will adapt my skills, depending on my clients’ presenting needs and use intergretive methods including EMDR to achieve the clients desired outcome.

I am able to work short term or long term, face to face, online or telephone. I am based in Leigh-on-Sea where parking is available. Sessions are £55 per hour.

Please contact me if you feel you would like to work together or of you would like an initial conversation before we agree to work together. I look forward to meeting you. Danielle. 

I work from a practise in Leigh-on-Sea which has parking and wheel chair access. The rooms are very comfortable.  We have a reception and a waiting area.  

In our first session we will be negotiating a contract together and starting to develop an understanding of what we will be working with and towards. Managing expectations and the desired outcome.  

We will work through an assessment and contract and agree the best way to work together. We can work to goals/hopes and manage expectations.
