People come to Chelmsford Counselling Foundation (CCF) for many reasons - for example as a result of depression, anxiety, loneliness, difficulty in facing life's circumstances or relationship difficulties. For some, memories about the past, painful events in the present or worries about the future may mean they cannot enjoy life or live it in the way they would wish.
The psychodynamic counselling that we offer at CCF can help you to understand how past experiences and current behaviour may be linked. It allows space to explore thoughts and feelings about yourself as an individual and in relationships with others, with someone trained to listen in a non-directive way. We are able to offer assessment sessions and ongoing counselling via telephone or video (using Zoom) to individual clients, and via Zoom only for couples.
Face-to-face counselling is also available at our premises in Chelmsford, in line with current Government guidelines. In order to access counselling with us you will need to contact us to arrange an initial assessment session, you will find more details about how to do this on our Counselling pages.
