Counselling for Children, Teens & Adults in Earls Colne and Online

Hello

I help children, teens, and adults feel heard, supported, and understood in a safe, confidential space. My many years working in schools supporting young people inspired me to extend this work to people of all ages, offering a calm, compassionate environment where they can explore what matters to them and take positive steps forward.

I am an integrative adult counsellor with a specialist qualification in counselling children and young people (CYP). My experience gives me a deep understanding of emotional development and how patterns of behaviour can affect our lives. In sessions, I focus on what each person brings in the here and now, helping them recognise what no longer serves them and discover new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding that support wellbeing and growth. Most recently I have completed a course in baby loss “Rainbow Baby Specialist” and issues around fertility receiving a “Foundation in Fertility Specialist”(FIL) award

My approach is warm, flexible, and person-centred, tailored to each individual. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, my goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can build resilience, gain clarity, and feel more confident in themselves and their choices.

I practise at Castle Counselling Service, based in Earls Colne, and support clients from Colchester, Braintree, Halstead, and online.
