A Safe Space for You 

Hi, I’m Chanel, a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
I offer a calm, supportive space where you can talk freely, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and feel heard without judgement.

Much of our wellbeing is shaped by the relationships in our lives with partners, family, friends, colleagues, and ourselves. Sometimes those connections feel nurturing and steady; other times, they can leave us feeling uncertain, unseen, or overwhelmed. Together, we can explore what’s happening in your relationships and what it means for you, helping you find understanding, balance, and a way forward that feels right.

My approach is person-centred, which means our work moves at your pace and focuses on what matters most to you. I listen with care and curiosity, offering gentle reflections and perspectives when they feel helpful.

My Experience

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in corporate and academic settings, supporting professionals, students, and staff under pressure. These roles gave me insight into how stress, work demands, and life changes can affect our wellbeing and relationships.

As a therapist, I’ve worked with organisations including Mind, Southend Carers, and Open Access Counselling Services, supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges. I now work with Mind’s Dove Private Service, BetterHelp, and in private practice, helping clients build resilience, understand themselves, and improve their relationships with others and themselves.

How I Can Help 

I work with individuals who want to explore and understand:

• Personal relationships, communication, and boundaries

• Life transitions, such as separation, divorce, redundancy, retirement, or aging

• Bereavement, loss, and grief

• Work-related pressures and interpersonal challenges

• Low self-esteem, confidence, or a difficult relationship with yourself

• Carer support and balancing your needs with those of others

• Sex and porn addiction and their impact on connection and intimacy

• Academic and university pressures

• Support for trainee or newly qualified counsellors

Here to Support You

If life feels overwhelming, your relationships are causing stress, or you simply want space to understand yourself better, counselling can provide a safe, reflective space to help you navigate challenges. You don’t have to face things alone.

I offer a free 20-minute call, giving you the chance to talk through what’s on your mind, feel heard, and see if counselling feels like the right support for you.
