“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” ~ Buddha There is no relationship as important as the one we forge with ourselves, but sometimes it can be challenging to know how to develop and nurture that relationship. We may often feel that we might have lost sight of what we need, but I believe with the right support anyone has the tools to become the truest version of themselves.

Hello and welcome to The Listening Post, We are a not for profit counselling agency based in Basildon Essex.

I hold a BSc (hons) degree from the University of East London in Integrative Counselling which included extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy.

I am a fully qualified hypnotherapist and Integral Eye Movement therapist. I work with lots of different issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, fears and phobias, self-esteem and confidence, relationship issues, pain management, quit smoking, weight management issues plus many more. Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind through relaxation of the body and mind, when the body is relaxed the subconscious mind is more receptive to positive suggestions I make, thus changing the way you think and feel about the things that cause you distress.

The definition of counselling states that it is a theory-based process which helps clients to resolve everyday life issues and concerns. The difference between counselling and coaching is simple. Your counsellor is there for you; to talk to and most importantly – to listen, reflecting your thoughts and feeding back like a mirror until you have found the source of your problems and solution for them.
