Annette Dean Counsellor – Private Therapy in Chelmsford

About Annette

Everyone faces challenges at some point in life. These may stem from a strained relationship, a stressful work situation, financial worries, or unresolved trauma from the past. At such times, professional support can make all the difference.

I’m Annette Dean, a qualified and independent counsellor based in Chelmsford. I provide a safe, confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement. My role is not to offer advice but to listen, support, and help you understand what’s right for you.

Friends and family may try to help, yet their personal involvement can limit their objectivity. In contrast, my sessions offer a neutral, non-judgemental space that encourages honest reflection. Together, we can begin the process of change.

Services

Individual Counselling

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Perhaps low self-worth or long-term stress is affecting your daily life. I help clients explore their emotional world and identify the patterns that hinder growth. Over time, this process can bring greater awareness and self-acceptance.

Relationship Challenges

When relationships break down or feel unsatisfying, it often leads to confusion or pain. I work with individuals struggling to manage affairs, trust issues, or disconnection from their partner. My approach focuses on clarity, emotional safety, and realistic solutions.

Past Trauma and Difficult Histories

If your past continues to affect your present, counselling can help. Experiences such as neglect, emotional abuse, or growing up in an unconventional household may still shape how you relate to others or view yourself. I support clients in processing these histories so they can reclaim control and confidence.

Addictions and Phobias

Addiction, whether to substances or behaviours, can feel isolating and overpowering. Likewise, phobias often create limits in everyday life. We work together to uncover the emotional roots and develop practical steps for change.
