Carlene Thompson

I offer a free 30-minute consultation so we can find out whether we will work well together. I typically work weekdays between 9:30-14:30 and typically align my annual leave with the school calendar, taking 2 weeks over Christmas, Easter and the summer holidays. 

Counselling for stress, anxiety and navigating life’s challenges in North Essex

I work with adults at all stages of life with talking therapy using a person-centred approach. My aim is to provide a space where you feel comfortable to share what you are experiencing without judgement; no matter your background. You get to set the pace and together we explore what feels most urgent to you. My aim is for you to feel understood and gain a sense of autonomy to live a life that feels purposeful to you.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Easily frustrated and unable to relax? Lonely, lost and without purpose? Have you noticed habits that are getting in the way of living a life that feels meaningful to you? Are your relationships not as fulfilling as you would like them to be? Talking therapy can provide the space to explore these concerns and give you the opportunity to shift the course of your life.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which demonstrates that I meet high standards of proficiency, professionalism and ethical practice. I also hold a BSc in Biological Sciences.

I provide 50 minute in-person sessions typically on a weekly or fortnightly basis. I am based in a comfortable and discrete office space in Langham, North Essex, located within quick and easy access of the A12.

I am able to provide sessions online and by telephone should this be needed.

I offer a free 30-minute consultation where we can meet to find out if we will work well together. I will have the opportunity to explain how I work and you can share a little about what brings you to counselling and ask any questions you may have. My aim is for you to come away knowing if you would like to work with me.
