A safe, supportive space for healing and growth

At Benfleet Counselling, we provide a calm, confidential environment where adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families can explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement.

Our team of experienced counsellors and psychotherapists are here to support you through whatever life brings—whether that’s anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, relationship issues, or day-to-day stress. We offer a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet your individual needs, because no two people—or their experiences—are the same.

What We Offer

  • One-to-one counselling for adults, teenagers, and children
  • Couples and family therapy
  • Group sessions and clinical supervision
  • In-person sessions from our peaceful, Grade II listed therapy space in Benfleet
  • Flexible online appointments for added convenience

When working with younger clients, we incorporate creative therapies such as play and art therapy to help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable.

Our Approach

We work integratively, meaning we draw from a variety of therapeutic models—including CBT, EMDR, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Person-Centred Therapy, and more. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or long-term healing, we’ll work with you to develop the right path forward.

We’re not here to tell you what to do—but to help you discover your own answers, build confidence, and make meaningful change.

Common Issues We Help With

  • Anxiety & depression
  • Bereavement & grief
  • Relationship & family issues
  • Self-esteem & confidence
  • Work-related stress & burnout
  • Trauma & PTSD
  • ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence
  • Anger management, addictions, and more

No issue is too small. If something is affecting your well-being, talking about it can make all the difference.

How Counselling Can Help

Through therapy, you can:

  • Understand yourself better
  • Build emotional resilience
  • Improve relationships
  • Develop healthier coping strategies
  • Feel more in control of your life

We recommend starting with 6–8 sessions, after which we’ll review your progress and discuss any ongoing needs.
