Joanne Flatt Therapy in Dunmow, Essex
Hi, I’m Joanne. I offer counselling and hypnotherapy in Felsted, near Great Dunmow. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and tailored to you — whether you’re looking for support with anxiety, low mood, stress, phobias, or feeling stuck.
Nestled in the quiet Essex countryside, my home-based therapy space offers a peaceful, private setting where you can feel at ease from the moment you arrive. With easy access from Chelmsford, Bishop’s Stortford, Braintree, Thaxted, and Takeley, plus free parking right outside and separate garden access, you can settle in and focus fully on yourself and what you need from therapy.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, caught in old patterns, or simply in need of someone to talk to, you don’t have to face it alone.
Counselling in Dunmow
Counselling offers you a safe, confidential space to explore what’s on your mind. It’s a chance to slow down, untangle your thoughts, and work through difficult feelings with someone who’ll really listen.
You might come to counselling because:
-
You’re feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed
-
Life feels heavy, stuck, or exhausting
-
You’re struggling with low confidence or self-esteem
-
You’re carrying difficult experiences from the past
-
Relationships feel complicated or draining
-
You need space to process grief or loss
-
You’re navigating prenatal or postnatal anxiety or depression or are navigating the challenges of pregnancy, birth, the postnatal period or parenthood
However big or small it feels, your experiences matter. I’ll work at your pace, offering gentle, supportive therapy tailored to you. Read more about counselling here.

-
Unhelpful habits or thought patterns

A Warm, Down-to-Earth Approach
People often say they were nervous about starting therapy, unsure what to expect, or worried about feeling judged.
My approach is relaxed, compassionate, and non-judgmental. No pressure. Just a safe, welcoming space for you to be yourself and work through whatever’s on your mind.
Working with a Local Therapist
While many people now choose online therapy, some find comfort in working with a therapist based locally. Even if you prefer online sessions, it can feel reassuring to know your therapist is nearby, with the option to meet face-to-face if that ever feels right.
