Private Practice Group

“I am a BACP accredited integrative counsellor offering EMDR, Supervision, group work, couples counselling Specialising in Trauma, and addiction, using a wide range of therapies to offer clients the bespoke therapy they require.”

About us

We are an accredited mental health organisation in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, UK. We offer individual therapy and confidential, practical support to help you manage emotions and everyday life challenges.

Approach

At our Leigh-on-Sea practice, sessions move at a pace you can steer, gently alternating safety-building with deeper processing so you stay guided but in control. We offer in-person and online support in English, with clear agendas and flexible check-ins between meetings to keep momentum. Work typically combines practical skills, focused exploration of memories and patterns, and collaborative planning so change feels concrete rather than vague. This way of working tends to suit people seeking steady, tailored support for difficult past experiences or unhelpful coping cycles.
