Joanne Flatt Therapy in Colchester, Essex
Hi, I’m Joanne. I offer counselling and hypnotherapy at Rise Therapy Centre in Feering, just outside Colchester. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and shaped around you — whether you’re seeking support with anxiety, low mood, stress, phobias, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed.
Rise Therapy Centre offers calm, purpose-built therapy rooms designed to feel private, comfortable, and supportive. The centre is easily accessible from Colchester and nearby areas including Marks Tey, Coggeshall, Kelvedon, and Tiptree, making it a practical option if you’re looking for in-person therapy in a peaceful, professional setting.
If life feels heavy right now — or you’re carrying things you’ve been managing alone for a long time — you don’t have to do it on your own.
