About Me

I’m Sally Williams – a fully trained psychotherapist and counsellor based in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex with over 20 years of experience.

I support people facing many different challenges, from everyday life matters of stress, anxiety and mild depression, through to loss, bereavement, relationship difficulties, and more enduring depression and anxiety. I also work with people facing complex issues such as domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and letting go of past traumas.

Depending on your needs we can work at a more surface level, or at depth, perhaps exploring previously hidden processes, and uncovering blocks or barriers that may be getting in the way of your overall balance and wellbeing.

Holistically trained, I focus on you as a whole person, considering the many aspects of you – psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual. So alongside what’s going on in your thought patterns, we may explore what makes you feel connected to yourself, to others and the world around you. Importantly though, I will always take our sessions in the direction that feels right for you – sensing naturally what will be most valuable for you in that moment.

As a member of the National Counselling Society (NCS), I engage in regular supervision, professional development (most recently an Advanced Psychotherapy Diploma in Working at Depth) and am committed to the highest standards of care. With this level of professionalism at the heart of my practice, you will know you’re in a safe space, without judgment, where you can give yourself time to heal, recover and grow.

Alongside my work, I am a mother of two, a new grandmother of one and love to be outside walking, cycling and feeling connected to the natural world as it changes through each season. I enjoy live arts and theatre, practice yoga and qi gong and embrace natural healing – using a combination of practices and therapies to enhance my own wellbeing.
