Caroline Withrington

During the week I work from late afternoon through into the evenings and also on Saturdays.  

My name is Caroline and I’m a fully qualified, experienced, integrative  counsellor and member of the BACP.  I practice from my home on the Essex / Suffolk border and at Mid North Essex Mind in Colchester. 

Life can be difficult and challenging at times. We can find ourselves lost, stuck or overwhelmed by our troubles or worries and unsure of how to make sense of our feelings or find a way forward. 

Seeking professional support through counselling can really help as it can provide the space and opportunity to gain insight, understanding and clarity around your issues alongside promoting growth, self awareness and therapeutic change.

I offer face to face and online or telephone sessions to suit client preference or need. I work within a completely private, confidential, purpose built room at my home, from which I offer a supportive and empathic space, free from judgement within which to facilitate exploration of your concerns and worries, past or present and where you can feel truly heard and understood.

My therapeutic approach is underpinned by the Person-Centred model which means I keep you, the client, at the heart of the process. I recognise that we are all unique individuals and that therapy is not a one size fits all model. For this reason, I practice as an integrative counsellor, in that I value and can draw upon the use of different theoretical models to best support you. In this way, our work together allows for fluidity, enabling me to be adaptive and responsive to your needs and the contributions that different approaches may offer us while we explore and understand what might be going on for you. 

I work within the ethical principles of the BACP framework and I attend regular supervision work.

Each counselling session is an hour long.

I believe that counselling should be accessible and affordable and as such I aim to keep my fees as low as possible. 

I offer the option of a free 15 minute introductory call to give you the opportunity to share what’s troubling you and to find out more about my approach and how I can help before you commit to your first session.
