Evis Read
Integrative Counselling
for Adolescents & Adults
Hello, my name is Evis.
I am an integrative counsellor and registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
​
I provide compassionate and professional therapeutic support to help you navigate life's challenges and achieve greater wellbeing.
Explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement
I am based in Colchester, Essex and have a few online clients too. You are welcome to email me and I will arrange a free initial consultation within 48 hours.
How I work
​We are all unique and complex, with different needs and wants and we feel better when we are understood without judgement.
I have training and knowledge in different schools of thought and working in an integrative way means that I rely on different theories and ideas to understand you and your circumstances. I often share these ideas to see if they feel helpful, I sometimes suggest little experiments (new ways of thinking or behaving) to try outside therapy.
​
My clients and I work together in different ways. Some come to develop practical tools for coping with anxiety or depression, others are looking for solutions or wanting to make sense of and heal from past experiences. Together, we find the courage to face existential struggles and uncertainties, to search for meaning, and to cope with the unknown.
​
From my own experience, I know that successful therapy depends on the quality of the client–therapist relationship. My priority is to get to know you and understand what has worked for you in the past and what hasn’t, offer ideas and ways forward if you feel stuck, and create a safe, supportive space where you can explore at your own pace.
