Weekdays and evenings. 

Do contact me to discuss available session times

In my role as counsellor, I will provide you with a welcoming space to talk, so we can explore together what is on your mind. 

Taking some time out to consider why we feel as we do is an important part of understanding ourselves and what affects us. Reflecting on thoughts, experiences and relationships both in the present and the past, can help us to understand where our feelings and responses may come from. Developing this self-awareness can untangle what may at first appear complicated, un-settled or inaccessible and enable a new way to move forward. 

Life can be bumpy but I believe counselling can bring you lasting change with a sense of self that feels peaceful and restored. 

My practice is in Bures and I work in Colchester and Chelmsford too. Each setting provides a confidential space with counselling sessions available for us to meet at the same time and day each week. 

I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) working within this regulatory framework to ensure best practice.

This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, for you to share your story and what brings you to counselling. The first session is also there to consider what your counselling goals may be and to ensure that this style of counselling could be beneficial for you.
