Counselling 4 EssexSouthend On Sea

Are you having relationship problems, experiencing family conflict, missing someone through bereavement or the end of an important relationship and feeling overwhelmed but unable to tell your loved ones how you really feel?

You are definitely not alone.

So many people have personal problems that family, loved ones and work colleagues can often know nothing about. So many people hide their worries and fears because they don't want to "burden" people, they don't want to "upset" people and they don't want to be judged. Perhaps the following statements sound familiar?

• Sometimes you feel depressed/low in mood but you don't really know why;
  
• You can have a tendency to feel inadequate when comparing yourself to friends, family or colleagues?
  
• You’re prone to overthinking, criticise yourself and lack the confidence to do the things you really want?
  
• You're feeling stressed, and anxious or even having panic attacks trying to keep pretending you’re ok?
  

If any of this sounds familiar and you’re exhausted from putting on a brave face all the time, then I may be the Counsellor for you - I've been there, done that and have the proverbial t-shirt. (See About Samantha Lee to get a better idea of what I mean!

Pretending is exhausting. Make this year the year that you drop the Happy Face, stop pretending you're ok and sort out the issues that are causing your current unhappiness? )

In my sessions, you'll get the chance to drop the brave face, stop pretending everything's okay and just feel the relief of telling me what it's really like to be you.

During therapy, we will look at what's really going on behind your smile - this alone can be such a relief. Just being able to talk to somebody neutral without fear of upsetting them can be a huge release and being able to say out loud what you're really feeling can be a game changer.

The result? Clarity about how you feel and the confidence to make changes. Together, we will get you back in the driving seat, back in control of your life and where you’re heading once again.

My name is Samantha Lee and I'm a BACP Registered Counsellor offering Counselling in Southend-on-Sea. I offer therapy to help people living in Southend and from all over Essex. I not only help busy working professionals juggling commuting and high pressure jobs with family life, but clients from all walks of life who, for a variety of reasons, may be finding it hard to cope right now.

As a Counsellor based in Southend-on-Sea, I help people with a wide range of life's problems every week. I also have a special interest and experience in working with men's mental health problems and helping people living with Domestic Abuse and Anxiety & Panic Attacks.

Although I offer counselling in Southend-on-Sea, my clients travel from all over Essex to see me. If you are looking for a Counsellor and live in Rochford, Eastwood, Rayleigh, Thorpe Bay and surrounding areas, then each of my practice rooms are within easy reach by car. If you live in Benfleet, Pitsea, Basildon and beyond, then from February 2020, you'll be able to jump on the train to Westcliff-on-Sea and in just a few steps, you can visit me at my new room at The Henry Centre which used to be The Old Station House on the London Bound platform of Westcliff Station. You can't get much more convenient than that and it's perfect for commuters!

I currently work from two venues, both a short walk from Southend Central Train Station and offering plenty of parking close by. If you're busy at work, I can offer evening and Saturday appointments and if you have to work around the school run, then I offer daytime appointments too.

My popular Saturday practice in Queens Road, Southend-on-Sea is just off Southend High Street and again, is within easy reach by car or train.

So if you are wondering whether therapy is for you, I would say that counselling could make the rest of your life be the best of your life. You won't know unless you give it a go so I'd love you to get in touch - here's my Contact Details .
