Working together

I offer a safe space to help you reflect on your work with clients, including work with children and young people. I aim to develop a collaborative working relationship with you, so you feel safe enough to openly explore any thoughts, feelings and experiences about your work, without judgement. In supervision we explore your client work together to help us understand your clients better and improve your work with them. This includes exploring any issues arising from sessions, celebrating progress and success, discussing any difficulties, blindspots or ethical dilemmas, increasing your self-awareness and resilience, and thinking about ways to facilitate positive changes in your clients and improve their wellbeing.

How I Work

I provide purposeful supervision to counsellors, teachers and those in helping professions. My relational, integrative and creative approach to supervision enables flexibility in my thinking, helping me adapt to individual learning styles and different therapeutic orientations. I have the fullest commitment to offering a service which is welcoming to all backgrounds in a supportive and non-discriminatory manner. My integrative approach to counselling underpins my supervisory practice. This includes person centred values, alongside relational and systemic thinking. I work within the guidelines of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) ethical framework and negotiate a working contract before embarking on our journey together.

Please email or call to arrange an initial session (free of charge).

Fed up with feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, stuck in overthinking or grief? If this feels familiar, I'm here to listen and help. I offer a calm and supportive space where things can start to feel clearer. Your initial session is free.

Welcome

I trust you'll find me warm, approachable and easy to relate to.  I’m a BACP accredited counsellor with over 15 years’ experience.                                                    

I'm pleased you're here

You don't have to struggle alone.  Whether you're mentally exhausted from overthinking, feeling anxious,  depressed, or it’s grief after bereavement, it can really help to talk about what's going on for you. 

How I work

Meeting your needs is priority, therefore therapy is tailored specifically for you.  Don't worry about needing the right words or perfect explanations, you can just say it as it is.  We take things at a pace that is comfortable for you and focus on what’s actually happening beneath the surface, like the patterns of anxiety and emotional weight you’ve been carrying.  You'll notice that life starts to feel less heavy, less stuck, and more manageable.

Sessions

Face-to-face in Chelmsford and online via Zoom.  

What to do next

If you want to find out more, email or call me on 07305 491018 to arrange an introductory meeting free of charge.  We can discuss what you want from counselling and how I can help.  I'd love to hear from you.
