Hi, I’m Elaine — an integrative counsellor working with adults (18+) in Witham, Essex and online.

I offer a calm, thoughtful space where you can slow down and talk openly, without judgement. In a world that often feels rushed or demanding, having somewhere to simply be — and feel heard — can make a real difference.

People come to counselling for many reasons. You might be facing a specific difficulty, or you may just have a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. Wherever you’re starting from, we begin there.

As an integrative counsellor, I adapt the way I work to suit you. There’s no single model or fixed approach — just a collaborative space where your story can be explored with care and honesty. We might talk things through, reflect more deeply, or use creative approaches if that feels helpful. We’ll work in a way that feels supportive and manageable for you.

Alongside my general practice, I have undertaken specialist training in infant and baby loss, infertility, and rainbow baby experiences. These journeys can carry complex and deeply personal emotions, and I offer informed, sensitive support in this area, while continuing to work with clients across a wide range of challenges.

Together, we can gently explore what’s happening for you and work towards greater understanding, self-acceptance and clarity.

I work from a private, confidential therapy room in my garden in Witham, Essex. I’ve created the space to feel warm, calm and comfortable — somewhere you can take a breath, settle in, and feel at ease as we talk.

My practice is within easy reach of Wickham Bishops, Maldon, Heybridge, Great Totham, Hatfield Peverel, Nounsley, Terling, Kelvedon and Rivenhall, making it accessible for people from the surrounding areas.

If travelling isn’t ideal for you, I also offer online sessions via Zoom. This can give you more flexibility and the option to work together from the comfort of your own home.

I currently work with adult individuals (18+). Sessions last 50 minutes, usually take place weekly, and cost £50 per session.

I offer an initial free 15–20 minute telephone call, which gives us the opportunity to talk about what you’re hoping to bring to therapy and for you to ask any questions you may have. 

There is no obligation to continue — it’s simply a chance to see whether working together feels right for you.

If you decide you would like to go ahead, you are welcome to book a session and we can begin exploring what has brought you to counselling at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy, depending on what feels right for you. If you would like to book a block of sessions in advance, I offer a 10% discount when booking six sessions together.

I also have a limited number of concessionary spaces for those on a low income — please contact me if you’d like to discuss this further.

If you’re unsure whether counselling is right for you, you’re very welcome to arrange an initial call and take it from there.
