Counselling in Colchester for Adults & Couples

This is very individual. I recommend a minimum of 8 sessions to begin with, so we can establish a therapeutic relationship, then we can assess where you are and what you would like to do. Some people continue for longer term support, others only need a few sessions.

I currently work in-person at the Turner Centre in Colchester on Saturday afternoons. I work online mid-week between 8am and 7pm. I work outside during the day, mid-week.

I offer a free no obligation 15 minute phone call where we can work out if I am the right person to support you. To book in with me you can call or message on 07367 589410 or email eleanorctherapy@gmail.com

For individuals I charge £60 for 50 minutes and for couples I charge £85 for 60 minute sessions (apart from at the Turner Centre where it is 50 minutes) both online and in-person. If you would like to start with fortnightly sessions the cost is £65 for individuals and £90 for couples.

I have undertaken additional training to work with clients with ADHD, Autism and AuDHD (when clients have both ADHD and Autism). I trained with a specialist agency called Aspire Autism Consultancy and I now work as one of their recommended associate counsellors. I work with both individuals and couples.

Absolutely! For some people, sitting online or in a room with a counsellor can seem overwhelming and even unpleasant. Working outside provides so many benefits - we can walk and talk or find a lovely place to sit and bring the outdoors into our work together. I work outside in the Colchester area. We would begin with a meeting on zoom.

If you need to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances I require 24hrs notice otherwise the session will be deemed chargeable. I will always do my best to offer another day in the same week, if possible.

Everything that we discuss will be confidential and will not be shared. Any information held will be password protected and dealt with in line with current GDPR legislation. There are only two exceptions to this, which we can discuss in your consultation. If I am concerned that you, or someone else, is at serious risk of harm, we will discuss this concern together and then I may seek additional support from your GP or other healthcare professional. Therapists are also required to have supervision, where we discuss issues that arise through our work with a qualified supervisor. Supervisors are under the same duty of confidentiality as I am as a therapist.
