About Within Counselling

 Within Counselling is the name of my private practice. I’m Alana Warwick, and in most cases, I am the sole therapist working with clients. Occasionally, I collaborate with other trusted practitioners who work alongside me under the Within Counselling name. 

I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work with individuals in one-to-one sessions, offering in-person therapy from my consulting room in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, and through a counselling organisation in Chelmsford, Essex. I also provide online sessions for those who prefer remote access to therapy.

My background in the helping profession spans nearly 15 years. I began clinical practice in 2022 and now work with clients in both private practice and organisational settings.  I have supported many individuals facing a wide range of challenges, and through this work, I have developed a deep understanding and respect for the unique and often complex difficulties that life can present. 

My approach centres on building a reflective and supportive therapeutic relationship, where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together. Through this collaborative process, I aim to help you cultivate deeper self-awareness and open the door to meaningful, lasting change. 

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be facing a specific challenge such as anxiety, low mood, grief, or difficulties in relationships. Or you may be unsure exactly what’s wrong but feel stuck, unfulfilled, or disconnected from yourself. Whatever brings you here, therapy can provide a space to explore and make sense of what you’re going through.

Our work together will be collaborative and respectful, guided by your needs and your pace.
