I currently have availability within my practice. 

Hello, I’m Michaela. I’m a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and the owner of Camellia Counselling in Southend on Sea, Essex.

At Camellia Counselling, you will be welcomed to a compassionate and safe environment where you will have space to explore and express your thoughts, experiences and feelings. You will be supported through this process without judgement or being told what to do, but you may sometimes be given suggestions or work towards goals if that is helpful for you. 

I am an integrative counsellor, and this means that I have trained in a range of different therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA) and Person-Centred Therapy. This allows me to work flexibly, putting your unique personality, experiences, beliefs, and feelings at the heart of your counselling. My work is also trauma-informed, meaning that I recognise and respond to the impact that trauma may have had in your life. Most importantly, however, I always work to create a trusting, respectful and genuine relationship to help you feel safe and empowered.

Counselling sessions can be offered in-person, online, or by telephone so you can access your counselling in the way you find most comfortable, and daytime, evening and weekend appointments are available to fit your schedule.  

I also have a range of affordable appointment options as I do not believe that finances should be a barrier to you accessing counselling. My rates are as follows: 

In-person: £50.00

Online/telephone: £45.00

Student counsellors: £25.00

Affordable appointments (please contact me for further details): £20.00

So if you are struggling, need support, or are feeling overwhelmed for any reason, please do get in touch or have a look at my website to see if I could be the right counsellor for you.
