Inner-Journey Counselling Services, Basildon (2026)

Since qualifying as an integrative counsellor in 2016, I have passionately dedicated myself to helping others gain a deeper understanding of themselves and overcome personal difficulties. I find immense honor in the trust my clients place in me, sharing their inner stories and allowing me to guide them through their journeys. My approach ensures a space that is free from judgement and rich in empa

thy and positive regard, working at a pace that meets each client's individual needs. My services are offered through online video or telephone sessions, catering to both short-term and long-term therapy requirements. I believe in the importance of continual professional development and have since qualified as a clinical supervisor, supporting other counsellors and individuals in wellbeing roles. Additionally, I teach counselling to aspiring counsellors, nurturing the next generation of professionals in this vital field. I am proud to have completed the necessary steps to become an accredited member of both the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and the National Counsellors and Psychotherapists Society (NCPS). My commitment to my clients and the counselling profession drives me to maintain the highest standards of practice and to continue growing both personally and professionally.

🌿 **What happens in your first counselling session?**

Starting counselling can feel like a big step. You may feel nervous, uncertain about what to say or worried that you will need to share everything straight away.

Our latest blog explains what you can expect, including:

• How the first session begins
• Confidentiality and its boundaries
• Questions your counsellor may ask
• How you remain in control of what you share
• What happens if you decide to continue

You do not need to prepare or have the right words. You can begin wherever feels manageable and move at your own pace.

Many professionals spend their days supporting others through stress, crisis, trauma, grief, emotional pressure, and difficult life experiences — often while quietly carrying the emotional impact themselves.

This is something we regularly see within:
💚 Care and support services
💚 Education and SEN settings
💚 Veterinary practices
💚 Healthcare environments
💚 Charities and community organisations
💚 Foster care and safeguarding services

At Inner Journey Counselling Services, we provide confidential workplace counselling and wellbeing support for organisations who want a more personal, responsive, and human-centred approach to staff wellbeing support.

We understand the emotional demands many caring and people-focused professions face, and we are passionate about supporting both organisations and the people within them.

We are currently welcoming enquiries from organisations across Essex seeking workplace wellbeing and employee support services.
