Hello, my name's Trish. As a person-centred counsellor, I offer an authentic, empathic, confidential safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. You are the expert in your own life — I'm here to walk alongside you.
I became a counsellor because I believe deeply in the power of feeling truly heard. Throughout my own life I've witnessed how much it matters to have someone alongside you — not to fix or advise, but simply to be present with you in a way that feels safe and without judgement.
My approach is integrative with a person-centred foundation, which means we work collaboratively in a way that's tailored to you — drawing on Humanistic, CBT, Psychodynamic, and Transactional Analysis (TA) frameworks as and when they're helpful. You set the pace; I follow your lead.
I work with adults, young people, older people, and trainees across a wide range of life experiences. Whether you're facing something specific or simply feel that something isn't right, you don't need to have the words for it yet — that's what our sessions are for.
Life can sometimes feel hard to bear. We all come across challenges that are difficult to face on our own, and the thought of opening up can feel daunting.
Many of us cope by holding on to our feelings for fear of being judged — sitting with thoughts we find hard to share, carrying them quietly on our own.
It's natural to feel apprehensive about speaking to someone new. That's why I offer an empathic, non-judgmental, confidential safe space — so you can feel valued, heard, understood, and respected unconditionally throughout your counselling journey.
"Sometimes we need someone to simply be there — not to fix anything, but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported."
I work with adults, young people, older people, and trainees across a wide range of experiences. You don't need a diagnosis or a label — if something feels difficult, that's reason enough to reach out.
In-person sessions at my private practice in Theydon Bois, Epping CM16. A calm, comfortable therapy room designed to help you feel at ease.
Secure video sessions from the comfort and privacy of your own home. All you need is a quiet space and a stable internet connection.
Phone counselling for those who prefer to talk without being on camera. Sometimes it's easier to open up when you don't have to be seen.
Therapy in nature, weather permitting. Walking side by side can make it easier to talk about difficult things, and the outdoors brings its own calm.
Same rate for face-to-face, online, telephone, and walk & talk

My approach is integrative with a person-centred foundation. This means we work collaboratively in a way that's tailored to you, your needs, and your pace.
Where it's helpful, I may draw on different therapeutic modalities to meet you where you are — always with your wellbeing and your goals at the centre.
I have my own private practice and also volunteer for Helen Rollason Cancer Charity as a counsellor, working with those affected by cancer and their family members during difficult times.
I have also volunteered at Spark UK in Loughton, mentoring children and young people. I also offer my services at Nuffield Health The Holly House Private Hospital, working alongside their oncology department from my private practice.
It's completely normal to have questions before reaching out. Here are some of the things people most often want to know.
Reaching out can feel hard — but you don't need to have everything figured out before you get in touch. There's no obligation, no pressure, and nothing you say will be wrong. Just a gentle conversation to see how I can help.
Important: If you are in immediate danger, or at risk of harm, please call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent support, you can contact NHS 111 (option 2) or Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24/7, UK & ROI).
