I am the founder of Chelmsford Talking Therapy and an experienced, fully qualified Registered and Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited Counsellor. I hold an industry recognised Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Therapy.

Whilst my core approach to counselling is psychodynamic, I am flexible in my practice and always open to exploring client options in line with their own, individual needs.

My client base is wide ranging. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with acute anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bereavement, work related and personal stress, anger problems and difficulties relating to trauma/PTSD; both on a long term and short term basis.

As well as work with adults and couples, I also have over eight years experience working therapeutically with children, young people and their families. I also provide telephone and video counselling EAP services for a number of governmental bodies all over the UK, including (but not limited to): NHS Services in Essex, Yorkshire and the West country; Police Scotland, Metropolitan Police, Northumbria Police, Surrey Police and BCH Police Forces; Royal Mail Group, and various local authorities.

My practice involves gentle, non-oppressive exploration into a client’s inner world taking into account, amongst other things, that person’s individual belief system, their relational and inter-relational history, childhood experiences / significant figures in their childhood, and how that client views the world around them from their own, personal perspective.  

My private, discrete clinic is based in Moulsham Mill in Chelmsford. I am able to offer face-to-face, telephone and video sessions at times to suit you.

Full and transparent details of counselling fees can be found on my website. I keep aside a limited number of sessions per week for those clients that may find it difficult to cover the full cost of counselling, for whatever reason. I am also an approved provider with AXA PPP Healthcare, Aviva, Vitality Health and Aetna Global Benefits. Please contact me in confidence to explore what options may be available for you.

One of the main aims of an initial session at Chelmsford Talking Therapy is to help you become more familiar / comfortable with the counselling process. The session will provide a basic outline of the therapeutic relationship, which will include an explanation and emphasis on the importance of confidentiality within the counselling setting (as well as exceptions to this).

It is understood that for many the initial meeting with a counsellor can be very daunting, and to help me to contain the anxieties that you may well find yourself experiencing, I will provide a space that will help you explore both your inner and outer world at a pace that it suitable to you. This may include looking into some of your past experiences as well as the present, but the emphasis will always be on forming the basis of a strong therapeutic relationship between us.
