Expertise

At Protea Counselling, we focus on emotional wellbeing with a personalised approach. We help individuals, couples, and families face life’s challenges with care and understanding. Our aim is long-term healing. 

We serve both children and adults, providing therapy tailored to each person’s needs and strengths. 

Counselling for Depression and Anxiety

Many people seek counselling when they feel low, overwhelmed, or disconnected. We offer counselling for depression and anxiety in a safe space. Here, you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. 

Whether you struggle with daily life or feel trapped in negative thoughts, we’ll uncover what lies beneath the surface. Our goal is to help you find peace and emotional clarity. 

Marriage Counselling in Essex That Brings You Back Together

Relationships take effort, and it’s normal for couples to face challenges. If you feel distant from your partner, struggle to communicate, or are healing from trust issues, our marriage counselling in Essex offers a compassionate way forward. 

Through open conversations, reflective exercises, and proven tools, we help couples reconnect and strengthen their emotional bond. No matter how long you’ve been together, our sessions aim to foster understanding and shared direction. 

Supporting Children and Young People

We specialise in working with children and adolescents, using creative, age-appropriate methods for emotional growth. This may include play therapy, art interventions, or talk therapy, based on the child’s age and comfort level. 

We often support young clients facing anxiety, self-esteem issues, emotional regulation, or family changes.  

Specialist Support for Neurodiversity

We have extensive experience working with neurodiverse individuals, including those with autism or ADHD. Our approach helps everyone understand themselves better and equips parents and caregivers with tools for emotional safety at home and school. 

Using a strengths-based framework, we aim to help every client feel respected, understood, and empowered to thrive. 

A Space For Adults To Heal and Grow

Many adults come to us to explore emotional wounds, past trauma, or unhealthy patterns. Our sessions allow you to reflect, process, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. 

From workplace stress to identity questions to unresolved grief, we provide support with empathy and practical strategies for change. 

Begin Your Journey with Protea Counselling

Wherever you are on your journey, we believe support should feel safe, accessible, and tailored to your needs. Our counselling services are guided by integrity, openness, and respect for each person’s story.
