AJJ Counselling - Benfleet

Mark Cox

I have had the privilege of working with Anthony through three separate chapters of my life, and his guidance has been nothing short of life-changing.

His calm and gentle nature creates a safe space where you feel heard and understood. Anthony possesses an amazing ability to guide you towards your own answers, helping you to unpack and navigate your own situation with clarity and confidence.

His support has been instrumental in my personal growth, and I am deeply grateful for his wisdom and compassion.

Anthony has helped me face situations I had previously avoided, including coming to terms with the breakdown of my marriage. His insightful questions and gentle nudges have guided me along my own journey of self-discovery.

One of his questions "When was the last time you spoke from your heart?" will sit with me forever, as these words were literally the catalyst that set me free.

Anthony's guidance has empowered me to confront my challenges head-on and embrace a more authentic version of myself.

I wholeheartedly recommend Anthony to anyone seeking meaningful guidance and transformative insights.

His presence and wisdom are truly invaluable.

Thank You, Anthony ✨

Working with Anthony has been astonishing. I had very little expectation that counselling or the therapeutic process would be of any help to me, but as an empiricist I’m pleased to say that I’ve been proved wrong. Anthony has helped me on two different occasions, through two very different periods of my life, and that help has enabled me to understand and know myself better. I am a better man now because of his help.

Anthony creates an environment and a connection that allowed me to be open and frank with him. He allows concepts and thoughts to occur during natural interaction and by gently guiding conversation, making him all the more powerful than simple instructions.

Although it shouldn’t, physical appearance and nature plays a part in who we feel comfortable being vulnerable in front of. From the moment I met Anthony, during both WhatsApp Video calls and in-person sessions, I found it easy to begin building a strong trust between us – he is a very relatable man. I suspect that his process wouldn’t work if that trust and his personable character were different.

I would recommend Anthony in a heartbeat to anybody. My opinion of counselling has now come full-circle, and I suspect that all of us would benefit from a little therapy every now and again.

Thank you Anthony for helping me build myself up to where I knew I could be.

Going for therapy for the first time was the hardest step. After that the rest was easy. After my first session with Anthony, he had already helped me to re-tune my outlook. I was having difficulty coming to terms with some big fall outs in my family and had become entrenched in a bottomless pit of questions making me become resentful to others close to me and the resulting negativity was beginning to take its toll on my marriage. Anthony helped me move on from feeling sorry for myself, to become outward facing, be a better listener and concentrate on the positive aspects of life. I am now as a happy as I can remember being. It has been an empowering process as demonstrated now by an almost automatic ability to listen and help others. Anthony is very professional, an incredible listener and I could not believe how much detail he was able to recall from previous sessions. I will go to Anthony again if I ever needed further guidance and would certainly recommend him. Thanks Anthony.

Me and my partner decided to give couples therapy a try as a bit of a last resort. I had used therapy myself before and found it to be very useful, however my partner James was much more resistant. He was the typical mans man and didn't see how talking to someone who doesn't know us, could help our relationship, but he was willing to try. And all I can say is ....Anthony has been a game changer in our relationship! He has been truly helpful and had given us the opportunity to finally communicate better! We now have the relationship we have both wanted for years, but for whatever reason could never achieve. I genuinely can't thank Anthony enough for his help and support. I can happily say that James and I are in the best place we've been in for years and we are making steps forwards together. So a huge thank you! For anyone in a relationship that just needs a bit of help and guidance, but doesn't think this will help.....I honestly couldn't recommend Anthony highly enough. Thanks again

Anthony provides an excellent service which is tailored to his clients. His knowledge of a wide range of theory and his willingness to explore options which suit the individual create an environment which encourages self-accountability and ownership, giving you skills and resilience which last long after the counselling program has finished. He is a pleasure to work with.

Having used Anthony’s services I found his manner and personality suited my needs. He listened and helped me to gain a better understanding of myself. This has enabled me to move forward with my life and I am in a much happier place. Highly recommended.

Having therapy with Anthony has been a great help to me. He has enabled me to find ways of coping with difficulties in my personal life and at work. He has a way of listening to you that makes you feel accepted and very safe to talk about any issues. I would highly recommend AJJ counselling.

AJJ counselling was my first experience using at therapy, which I was originally quite apprehensive about due to not being a great speaker when it comes to my personal feelings. Andrew was excellent throughout the whole process and across the course of my therapy we delved into deep issues and feelings that I had been carrying around for years — which I now feel comfortable dealing with. I am in a much better and more confident place as a result of this process and I’d highly recommend Andrew as a therapist because of this. Talking is the hardest part and starting therapy is the first step.
