My name is Alice Winkelman and I welcome you to enquire more into my service, Essentia Therapeutic Counselling. I hope I can offer you an idea of what you can expect, should you choose to contact me at any point, either for yourself or someone you know.

To me, the name ‘Essentia’ signifies essence, the unique nature of our being: self, spirit and embodiment. Experience has shown me that whatever you bring to counselling, by facing and working through your struggles in the world, you give yourself the opportunity to broaden your consciousness of who you are, both as an individual and in relationship with the world. This is a life’s journey toward your potential and an experience of counselling will accompany you for a time on this journey.

I recognize through my own experience as a client, that seeking emotional support requires courage and can be made difficult by the ‘stigma’ placed upon people who do so. It is very important to find a counsellor who you feel can understand and support you.

If what I have said speaks to you, please contact me by phone or email.
