Private Counselling

We have a private counselling service across Mid and North East Essex for people over the age of 18. Sessions cost £40. Counselling will give you the opportunity to explore any issues or difficult feelings you are having in a safe space.

We have both male and female counsellors who are accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Our counsellors are qualified in Person-centred therapy, pyschodynamic therapy, integrative therapy, dymanic interpersonal therapy and counselling for depression. You can read more about these different types of therapy on the private counselling pages on our website www.mnessexmind.org.

We have private rooms in Colchester, Maldon and Clacton. Daytime appointments are available Monday to Saturday. You and your counsellor would meet at the same time in the same place each week to talk. Each session will last 50 minutes, how many times you see your counsellor will vary. Typically people with mild to moderate depression would see a counsellor 6 to 10 times over 8 to 12 weeks.

To use our private counselling service please call 01206 764600 Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm or email enquiries@mnessexmind.org. You are welcome to call to ask any questions you have, before your sessions begin you will have a telephone assessment to see if private counselling would be right for you.
