Alice Wilson

I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor & Psychotherapist based in Chelmsford, Essex. I offer a safe, confidential space for adults to explore what has brought them to therapy, collaboratively and without judgement. Together, we can explore feelings and experiences that might be difficult or bothering you, at a pace that feels safe and manageable. People come to therapy for many different reasons: anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, bereavement, life changes, or a confusing sense that something does not feel right. In therapy, we can explore the feeling and meaning of those different experiences without requiring distinct diagnoses or a clearly defined problem. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to the unconscious processes that go on internally, often without our knowledge. This means that all the spontaneous thoughts, feelings, dreams, memories and reactions can enrich our understanding, and there is no fixed agenda to the work. We may also look beyond present experiences and consider how our earlier experiences can shape how we relate to ourselves and others.

I hold a First Class BA in Social Anthropology from the University of Manchester & an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Essex. I am a registered member of the BACP and I am fully insured and DBS checked. I attend regular supervision with a BACP accredited supervisor.
