Counselling for Adults in Benfleet and Online

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, confusing or exhausting. You may be coping outwardly while feeling anxious, low, burnt out or disconnected underneath.

Counselling offers a calm and confidential space to slow things down, understand your experiences and explore what you may need. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out or know exactly what to say.

Counselling may support you with

• Anxiety, worry and overthinking

• Low mood or feeling emotionally flat

• Stress, overwhelm and burnout

• Difficult relationships or communication

• Low self-esteem and self-criticism

• Grief, loss and significant life changes

• Difficult or traumatic experiences

• Identity and feeling unsure of yourself

• Feeling stuck, disconnected or misunderstood

• Autistic or ADHD experiences

How I work

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you.

My approach is warm, collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgement. We can explore what is happening beneath the surface, notice patterns that may have developed over time and consider changes that feel meaningful and manageable.

You will not be pressured to talk about anything before you feel ready. We can work at your pace and shape the sessions together.

Neurodiversity-affirming counselling

I welcome autistic and ADHD adults, those awaiting assessment and people beginning to explore whether they may be neurodivergent.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to access support. Sessions can be adapted to include additional processing time, clearer structure, written prompts or reduced expectations around eye contact where helpful.

Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £55.

Face-to-face sessions are available in Benfleet, Essex. Secure online counselling is available across the UK through Google Meet.

Free initial consultation
