Overcome internal barriers to unlock your true potential
Counselling & Psychotherapy in Chelmsford, Essex & Online
Hello, I’m Abby, a experienced integrative counsellor and proud member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). If you’re ready to overcome internal barriers and unlock your full potential, I offer a safe, compassionate, and confidential space to begin your journey.
I adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring your trust is met with professionalism and respect. Your confidentiality is my utmost priority. I believe that everyone encounters psychological challenges at various points in life, and seeking support is a courageous step toward transformation.
Are you someone who feels like you experience the world differently from those around you? Do you notice details others miss, or think in patterns and concepts that set you apart? Perhaps you find social situations overwhelming, yet you have a rich inner world of thoughts and ideas. Maybe your mind races with creativity and innovation, but conventional routines leave you feeling constrained.
Do your thoughts, behaviours, or ways of processing information not quite align with what’s considered “typical”? You might have wondered if you have ADHD, autism, or another form of neurodiversity—even without an official diagnosis. You may feel both the challenges and unique strengths that come with seeing the world through a different lens.
If this resonates with you, I specialize in supporting individuals just like you. As a counsellor experienced in working with neurodiverse people—whether diagnosed or simply feeling different—I provide a compassionate and understanding space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. Together, we can navigate your unique perspective, harness your strengths, and address any challenges you face. I believe in embracing your authentic self and empowering you to thrive in your own way.
If you’re seeking support tailored to your unique experiences, I’m here to help you get out of your own way and unlock your full potential. Let’s work together to embrace who you are and find strategies that work for you.

More About Me
My path to becoming a counsellor began when I found myself stuck in my own life. I had done significant personal development through 12-step work, which helped me build self-awareness—a process that remains part of my daily routine. However, unresolved childhood trauma led me to seek the help of a counsellor. The experience was transformative, prompting my decision to follow a career in counselling. My own journey wasn't always easy however the thought of one day helping others as my counsellor had helped me kept me driving forward, everyone deserves the right to good mental health.

Self Help Tip
If you’re living with ADHD, one powerful self-help step is to consider counselling as a way to better understand and accept yourself. A skilled therapist can help you explore how traits like impulsivity, distractibility, or hyperfocus show up in your daily life—not as flaws, but as part of your unique neurodiverse makeup. Counselling can support you in shifting the narrative from self-criticism to self-compassion, by helping you recognise your strengths, challenge internalised stigma, and let go of unrealistic expectations. Over time, therapy can give you practical tools for emotional regulation and self-advocacy, while nurturing a deeper sense of self-worth. Remember, growth doesn’t mean fixing who you are—it means embracing your brain’s wiring and learning to live in a way that honours it.
First Contact
Upon first contact, we'll schedule a convenient time for an introductory phone consultation. This conversation will allow us to determine if we are well-suited for collaboration. Should you choose to proceed, we can establish regular sessions tailored to your needs. If not, I have an extensive network of specialized therapists to whom I can refer you.
Taking that initial step toward seeking support can feel daunting, but it’s a courageous and meaningful step toward self-discovery. Remember, every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
