ECHIDNA COUNSELLING
CHELMSFORD AND ONLINE
Psychodynamic counselling and supervision
Perhaps you're dealing with loss, facing changes you didn't choose, or finding yourself caught in relationship patterns you don't fully understand.
Whether you come on your own or as a couple, I offer a steady space to make sense of what's happening, look beneath the surface, and think about things differently.
I also offer supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists.
Megan Crouchman, BACP Accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor.
AREAS OF PARTICULAR EXPERIENCE
Who I work with
Baby loss, infertility and life without children
The children you hoped for and didn’t have. The pregnancy that ended quietly while the world kept moving. Or the decision not to have children, with its certainty, its doubts and the pressure that comes with it.
Grief and bereavement
The loss other people expect you to have moved on from. The grief with no funeral, or that no one around you quite knows how to hold. Loss that is hard to explain, and harder to carry alone.
Physical health, illness and the body
A diagnosis that changes the shape of your life. Treatment that goes on longer than anyone said it would. A body that looks or works differently. The person you were before, and the one you're still getting used too.
Relationships and couples
The same argument. The conversation that breaks down in the same place every time. A relationship that has slowly become something unrecognisable.
A Psychodynamic Approach
HOW I WORK
Together we may think about relationships, emotional patterns, early experiences, and ways of relating that may once have been protective but now feel painful or stuck. I work relationally and take seriously what happens between us in the room. I'm interested in understanding why you keep finding yourself here, not just in managing it better.
We work at a pace that allows uncertainty. Short-term therapy suits people navigating a specific issue. Longer-term work is for people who want to understand the pattern rather than just interrupt it.
