About Me

Having experienced life challenges, which led me to become an integrative psychotherapist,  I am dedicated to offering counselling services tailored to your individual needs. I specialise in a range of mental health issues, providing a safe and supportive environment for you to explore challenges and work towards positive change.

​

After completing my training and qualifying, I've been working at a charitable outdoor therapy centre, working with both children and adults, as well as counselling at a secondary school, working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, PTSD, ADHD and ASD.

​

I am registered with the BACP and adhere to its ethical framework.

Counselling vs Therapy

Many people ask, "What is the difference between counselling and therapy?"

​

The best answer I can give is that it is a matter of time together with the desired result.

​

Counselling typically requires less time and the process tends to look at a particular issue to find a solution that works for a client.

 

Therapy tends to require a longer term commitment, examining the reasons behind flaws in a client's critical thinking. This may lead to an exploration of their past history to identify learned behaviours and re-evaluate them.

Whatever your requirements, we will use a first session to look at the presenting issues and tailor a plan which fits your individual needs, including the option of competitively priced block booking to help you achieve your goals.

Services

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions are designed to address personal challenges and promote emotional well-being. Through a client-centered approach, I help individuals navigate difficult emotions and develop coping strategies for a healthier mindset.

Outdoor Therapy

Experience the benefits of nature with outdoor 'walk-and-talk' therapy sessions. Combining the healing power of nature with counselling, these sessions offer a unique and refreshing approach to therapy (subject to a convenient location in the Colchester area)

Online Therapy

Online therapy offers the convenience of virtual sessions, allowing clients to access counselling from the comfort of their own space. This option is ideal for those with busy schedules or limited mobility.
