About Need to Talk?
My Philosophy
I firmly believe that counselling does help! I've witnesses first hand how talking about feelings can help to alleviate some of the stresses that many of us are experiencing. Our health really is our wealth and more importantly; our mental health.
I understand that it can be hard to talk about what you're experiencing though. After all, I am a stranger and talking about you inner most thoughts and feelings is hard!
It is my role to help to alleviate some of that anxiety or distress. I will help you to feel safe and not judged. It is not my role to tell you what to do or to give you advice. I will offer different perspectives and invite you try different techniques that will help you explore how you feel.

It's probably easier to explain what it isn't! Counselling isn't about giving you advice or telling you what to do. It is different from any other relationship that you have. I help you to explore how you think and feel and offer different perspectives. I invite you try different things, but you're in complete control. They are your sessions so I don't set your agenda.

I am an Accredited member of the BACP, providing Integrative counselling, based in Essex. I trained in Humanistic counselling originally; and now I incorporate CBT, EMDR and creative techniques to provide an individual counselling experience for individuals, couples and young people.

What to expect
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment. I may suggest exercises but you are the one in control of what we discuss. Sessions are 50 minutes long and ideally weekly sessions provide the quickest growth.
