Counselling Rochford - Southend-on-Sea

Welcome!

 

​It can be such a step to reach out for help, picking up the phone and start counselling or therapy. Sometimes it's difficult to know when to ask for help. I believe that no-one should have to struggle alone. I believe that there is always hope! Hope to recover, hope for feeling better, hope to get out of a place of feeling stuck. Whatever it is, or whatever you are going through, you don't have to do it alone.

 

With 15+ years experience I provide counselling and trauma therapy in a safe way for young people and adults who may be struggling. I find it important that we work in a pace that suits you, rather than going too quickly (or too slow). I am fully accredited by the BACP's (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), as well as Senior Professional Accreditated with the NCPS (National Counselling  and Psychotherapy Society). This means that I abide by their Ethical Frameworks, to ensure we are both safe.

 

I am experienced and trained in providing one-to-one integrative counselling and psychotherapy, as well as trauma therapy. This includes working with Humanistic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the Rewind-Technique and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitation and Reprocessing). I have also trained in Level 1 Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. We can find a way of working that feels comfortable for you. 

 

I also deliver a range of counselling training and supervision for trainee counsellors and experienced qualified counsellors and therapists. I am a Clinical Lead for all counsellors, psychotherapists, psychological therapists and clinical supervisors for a national charity.  

 

I believe it is important that you feel comfortable with your counsellor or therapist. We can therefore use a first appointment to get to know each other better, and to spend some time figuring out how counselling or trauma therapy might be helpful for you.

If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message. 

Online therapy

Telephone and online counselling will be structured in a similar way to face-to-face sessions: We will book a particular date and time, at which the sessions will take place. Online counselling can take place through Zoom. At the beginning of the first session we will take a little time to ensure all technology works well, after which the session can take place. 

 

If you would like to access telephone or online counselling or therapy, it may be helpful to think about what might be a private space for you to be in, when accessing these sessions. If you have any questions as to how this works, or if you would like to start this up, please don't hesitate to contact me!



Statement concerning the coronavirus pandemic

The chairs are still roughly 2 meters apart, though they are closer when using EMDR. If you are particularly concerned for your physical health, we can always revert back to online or telephone sessions.

Specialisations

I specialize in working with any form of trauma, including domestic abuse, sexual abuse (including CSA/ CSE), car accidents, traumatic bereavements, sudden illness, trafficking and torture. I am fully qualified in EMDR. EMDR is a way of processing trauma, phobias, depression, anxiety, pain, etc. which allows the 'whole brain' to be online (rather than off-line). We can always talk through what this looks like for you. I am also trained in the Rewind-Technique by the Human Givens College. The Rewind-Technique is a gentle trauma-technique which allows you to process the traumatic memory whilst feeling safe and present.

 

I have also been trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy by the Anna Freud Centre in London, which is a gentle way to increase a sense of safety, working to manage your post-trauma symptoms such as re-living, avoidance, hyper-arousal and negative views of yourself or the world. We can look at processing some of the feelings or traumatic experiences as well. Some people find that very helpful, for others it may not be necessary. The sessions will always be tailored to your wants and needs.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy works by using the body to increase safety when you have experienced trauma. We also work with the body to process that trauma, if you ever feel that that would be helpful for you.

 

Aside from specializing in trauma, I also specialize in working with bereavement and loss. I worked for 4 years for a Hospice in Chelmsford, and have provided bereavement counselling through the years in both the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A loss may include a loss of a job, marriage, contact with family, house or a pet. 

 

 

Most common issues I support people with:

1. Trauma in all its forms

2. Bereavement and loss

3. Anxiety

4. Depression

5. Identity and self-esteem
