How can talking therapies can help you?

I use a mixture of therapies including brief therapy, person centred, psychodynamic, solution focused brief therapy, my techniques are effective for a range of situations including:

Identifying and working through behaviour patterns that no longer work or cause anxiety
Developing a greater sense of self-confidence and/or more fulfilling relationships
Unexpected life events, periods of change or loss
Exploring, understanding and managing overwhelming emotions

How talking therapies work?

By identifying and agreeing your goals we will work at your pace. We will talk openly about issues, explore feelings and thoughts as individuals and in relationships. This will help you to consider how past experiences and current behaviour may be connected. Your goals from counselling may change over time, and we can work with whatever you bring into our time together.

Heather Robbie’s counselling practise is based in Saffron Walden with plenty of parking space available and disabled access.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom

You can't think your way to a new way of acting, you must act your way to a new way of thinking

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate

In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety

The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

How long does counselling last?

This depends on what you bring and want to achieve from counselling, but in my experience, you will know when the work of therapy is complete. You can attend as few or as many sessions as they wish. I work with short term and long-term clients and we will regularly review our work together and, if required adjust the process and/or establish new goals.

Each counselling session will be 50 minutes for individuals and 60 minutes for couples.
