Counselling in SS9

HELLO I'm Sophie, I'm here to Help. I have 20 years Counselling Experience & I am a qualified Clinical Supervisor. Accredited BACP. Are you struggling in your own headspace? Want to talk things over and learn how to get in a better place? Therapy works in many ways: In essence talking to someone trained to listen will help you get to know yourself more deeply and by becoming more self aware it will make it easier to identify areas which are causing you distress and help find solutions to move forward to a Happier You!

I provide a safe, confidential, inspiring environment and provide unique support through your journey to well-being. I will facilitate hope, emotional support and recovery. My objective is to move you forward into experiencing a better quality of life for yourself and subsequently positively affecting people surrounding you now and in the future. To do this, I believe in working collaboratively with you, using a wide spectrum of psychotherapy not just rigidly applying one form but recognising and applying only relevant techniques unique to you. I can help restore your self-esteem and facilitate a realistic pathway to feeling better.

Are you feeling low, exhausted? Worry stops you sleeping or you wake feeling anxious - racing heart, churning stomach? Do you have repetitive negative thoughts, ruminate on the past, blame yourself when setbacks happen and worry about future events, usually assuming the worst? Maybe you’re short-tempered at work or with your partner and find little joy in things you used to love doing. Do you want to get back on with life as soon as possible? To sleep better, feel more energetic and motivated, better able to be there for your partner. To see things differently and improve your effectiveness at work and relationships with colleagues?

Feel like you've lost sight of who you are? The confidence you felt has faded away? Perhaps you find yourself able to make strides at work but within your personal life, you want to find that spark and strength again. You're fed up with feeling as though you shrink within relationships, and the thought of saying 'No' leaves you feeling sick with worry. Are you tired of feeling as though you deserve more, but clinging to the breadcrumbs currently offered to you - you wish you were better at voicing what you really want or need?

Everyone experiences challenges and difficulties at various times in their life and it can be comforting to know that we don’t have to get through it on our own. Sometimes we just need someone impartial and compassionate to just listen to us confidentially and not judge us; to help us express and let go of our feelings and thoughts in a safe space. Other times we need help to make sense of past events or to manage difficult emotions. And then we need to move forwards… so having someone to support us who we already trust, can be really useful to make lasting changes.

I realise what a daunting task it can be, to admit to yourself that you need support and to reach out to someone. Many people spend a long time thinking they can just snap out of it and beating themselves up when they are not able to, creating a vicious cycle that is hard to break. The fact you are here, looking for support is the first step, and often one of the hardest. If you are finding yourself repeating unhelpful patterns of behaviour, finding daily life a struggle, or looking to explore your past, present or future, I can support you as you work through them and step into the life that you want, and deserve.

Hi, I’m a psychotherapist helping you recover from burnout, stress & low self esteem. Are you dealing with depression, anxiety, or wanting non-judgemental support? Are you being bullied at work or school? Have you or a loved one been through a life changing medical trauma? I had a stroke many years ago that affected every aspect of my life & left me disabled! Hence, I also know the challenges of being a single parent. In my previous career I loved working with and inspiring young people, this is still close to my heart. If you are a young person unsure which direction to take your future, use me to help you find your answers.

I currently work at the Priory Hospital in Chelmsford, I am a Family Support Practitioner and work for AXA as a Clinical Counselling Assessor. My passion is helping people of all ages experiencing mental health difficulties and I have a privately run, therapeutic practice, where I can provide you with a safe, friendly, and confidential environment for exploration. Within the practice I can help if you require; one to one therapy, for various aspects of mental health, support through bereavement, need family support, help with parenting or CAMHS.

My specialist areas are relational difficulties and trauma. From these areas, we experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship breakdown, and at times other harmful and/or repetitive behaviours. My focus will be on helping you understand the function they have served for you, where they come from, and how to bring about change I have experience of working with individuals who present with diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, with one or more of the many different personality disorder, and with individuals who experience psychotic states of mind. That said, anyone can engage in therapy at any time, and, for any reason.

Are you struggling with high anxiety, repetitive themes and the need to relieve your anxiety with repetitive actions/thoughts? You may feel worried that you are a paedophile? You may be concerned that you will cause harm to a family member, friend or stranger? Do you spend much time ruminating about being gay/straight/transgender despite your own certainty that you are not? Perhaps you're worried that you don't love your partner, even though you know you do? All of these themes are extremely common with OCD. You are not alone. They, and many other themes, can induce a fear of losing control and concerns around being judged.

I work with many issues from anxiety & depression, to grief & loneliness. My specialities lie in relationships. This may be in the form of couples or marriage counselling or it may be an individual coming to therapy to talk about the key relationships in their lives. This could be past relationships, family, current relationships or maybe even future relationships? I will help you to understand your attachment style, communication on ways of relating to others. I will help you to see your life from many different angles and help you to challenge your own preconceived ideas of your limitations.

Hi, I'm Jan. An Elite Life Architect. I work with High Achieving Professionals who through their dedication and focus to a career or profession have left themselves out and are now wanting to create change so they may thrive and live a personally more stimulating life.

My name is Natasha and I run The Wellness Project. I help individuals and couples to find a more vibrant and easeful way of life. I believe that if we work to understand your unique psychological make-up, with an appropriate level of support and challenge, change is possible. I consider us equally important in the process and will help you to feel comfortable - always working from a place of kindness and respect. My core training is in Transactional Analysis - however, I have significant post qualification training and consider myself to work integratively, drawing on lots of different theories and skills to best help my clients.

I offer a completely free 20 minute consultation over the phone if you are considering counselling for an initial chat about you and your situation before you decide if you want to start therapy. Life can feel difficult and overwhelming at times because we are human, you can never say anything silly or stupid in counselling because if you feel it it cant be wrong, to know you have someone who will listen without judgement to you and help you become the best version of you whilst working at your pace.

I offer therapy for couples and individual clients in person and by video or telephone call. ●11 years in Private Practice● NHS experienced●. I am a qualified and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I work with you using a variety of research based approaches to address your issue. Over the years I have helped many different clients explore and reflect on their issue from a different perspective. This has often allowed them to resolve their problem or arrive at an acceptance which they can maintain when therapy finishes.

Feeling stuck with past traumas, anxious thoughts, or relationship issues? Struggling to understand your neurodiverse experiences or dealing with identity challenges? You’re not alone. I'm here to help you navigate these struggles and work towards your goals. You might be seeking to find peace, improve communication with your loved ones, or simply understand yourself better. My goal is to provide a supportive, inclusive space where you can explore these areas and work towards a more fulfilling and authentic life. Together, we can make progress and help you achieve the growth and well-being you’re looking for.

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. Living these days can be very difficult for some people on a daily basis without any other stress, pressure, demands, anxiety, or feelings of being overwhelming coming into the mix. We all need a little help from time to time and I am here to help you not have to carry those heavy burdens alone. My main focus is on you; your aims, your truth, the real you, you feel you longer can be and how we can work together to get you back on track.
