Psychotherapy in Shenfield

Chelmsford is a direct train from Shenfield station, taking approximately 10 minutes. Trains run frequently throughout the day and evening. Both my venues are a short walk from Chelmsford station. If you’re driving, it’s about 15 minutes via the A12, with parking available near both venues.

Yes, and many of my Shenfield clients choose this option. Online therapy means no additional travel on top of an already full week, which can be particularly valuable if you’re commuting to London. Sessions are held via a secure video platform, and the therapeutic relationship develops just as meaningfully as it would in person. You’re also welcome to combine online and in-person sessions as your schedule permits.

The most common themes I see from Shenfield clients are anxiety, burnout and stress related to high-pressure careers and commuting; relationship difficulties; low self-worth; and the longer-term impact of childhood experiences. Shenfield’s position as a commuter hub means many residents carry the dual pressures of London work and home life, and therapy offers a consistent space to step back from both and attend to what’s happening inside.

Yes. My last appointment of the day is at 8pm on weekdays, which means therapy can fit around a working day without requiring time off. This is particularly relevant for Shenfield clients who commute to London. I also offer some flexibility around session times where possible. We can discuss what works for your schedule when we first speak.

I hold an MSc in Humanistic Psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute, one of the UK’s leading psychotherapy training institutions. I’m a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist, which is the highest standard of professional accreditation for psychotherapists in the UK. I also teach on the UKCP preparatory year at Metanoia. Before retraining, I spent 25 years in financial services in London, so I understand the pressures of the City from the inside.
