About Me

Adenike Rebecca Teichert, MBACP, MNCPS (Accred.)
Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor & Trauma-Informed Practitioner

Hello, I’m Adenike Rebecca Teichert, a Southend-on-Sea-based counsellor passionate about helping individuals and families overcome life’s challenges. As a neurodivergent practitioner, I combine professional expertise with personal experience to create a safe, understanding space where healing and growth are possible.

Background & Training
Since 2017, I’ve cultivated a rich foundation of knowledge in Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Transactional Analysis (TA). My approach is further enriched by training in Arts-Based Modalities, including Jungian Sand Play as counselling tools, enabling me to incorporate creative and expressive tools into sessions.

Experience & Specialisation
I provide counselling for adults, young people, and families, with a particular focus on neurodivergent individuals. I address a variety of concerns, including:

Anxiety, depression, and OCD
Trauma and PTSD
Shame, guilt, and grief
Relationship challenges
Chronic illness and disability

Trauma-Informed Practice
With specialised training in trauma care, I prioritise creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment for those affected by trauma. My approach acknowledges the impact of systemic issues on minority groups and emphasises self-care for both client and practitioner.

Professional Affiliations & Qualifications
I am an accredited member of the NCPS and a registered member of the BACP, committed to ethical, professional practice underpinned by regular clinical supervision and continuing professional development.

Available Hours
In-person sessions are available Tuesday through Thursday from 9 AM to 2 PM by appointment. Online and phone sessions are offered at flexible times.

Creative and Expressive

Unlock Your Inner Creativity

Creative and expressive arts as counselling tools offer a unique way to explore emotions, process experiences, and foster healing through artistic expression. Whether you’re painting, drawing, or engaging in other creative activities, this approach helps uncover insights and encourages personal growth in a safe and supportive space. This therapeutic method is beneficial not only for children but also for adults seeking a non-verbal, creative avenue for self-discovery and healing as counselling tools.

What to Expect

In creative and expressive arts as counselling tools, the process is more important than the final product. You don’t need to be an artist or have prior experience—this is about using creativity as a tool for self-discovery and emotional release. Materials like paints, clay, and sketchbooks are provided, allowing you to choose the medium that resonates with you.

Benefits

• Express emotions that are difficult to verbalise

• Reduce stress and enhance well-being

• Gain clarity and new perspectives on life’s challenges

• Build confidence and self-awareness

Explore the transformative power of art and creativity as part of your therapeutic journey. Let’s work together to unlock your unique potential.

Jungian Sand Play

Dive Deep into Your Inner World

Jungian sand play therapy is a powerful, non-verbal therapeutic method as counselling tools that taps into your subconscious to explore emotions, memories, and challenges. Using a rectangular tray filled with sand and a variety of figurines, this approach enables clients to create symbolic representations of their inner experiences. While often associated with children, sand play therapy is equally effective for adults, providing a creative and profound way to address personal challenges.

What to Expect

During a sand play session, you’ll be guided to select figurines and arrange them in the sand tray to create a unique scene or world. This process is entirely client-led, allowing for spontaneous expression and discovery. The tray becomes a safe, contained space for you to explore feelings and themes that might be difficult to express in words.

Benefits

• Access deeper parts of the psyche for healing and growth

• Process trauma, grief, and life transitions

• Enhance creativity and problem-solving abilities

• Foster self-awareness and emotional resilience

Whether you’re an adult or a young person, sand play therapy as counselling tools offers a profound and symbolic way to navigate life’s challenges. Let’s embark on this creative journey together.
