Marks Tey is 15 minutes from my practice at Colchester Business Centre along the A12. If you are commuting through London or Colchester and feel like you are always in transit — always in motion but never quite present — that is something I work with. A weekly session in Colchester can become the one hour in the week that is reliably yours.
From Marks Tey, take the A12 east into Colchester. The journey is about 15 minutes. There is free parking at Colchester Business Centre, and the therapy room is on the ground floor — no need to navigate the town centre or find a car park.
Marks Tey also has a mainline train station with services to Colchester. If you travel by train, the practice is around 20 minutes' walk from Colchester Town station, or a short taxi from Colchester North.
For anyone aged 16+ who would rather not add another journey to the day, online therapy is available across the UK.
Marks Tey sits on the main London to Norwich line, and a significant number of residents commute into London or Colchester for work. It is a location defined by movement: early starts, late returns, the motorway rumble of the A12, and a village that serves mostly as somewhere to sleep.
The people I see most often from this part of Essex are managing a version of the same thing: doing a lot, always at capacity, and feeling like they are fitting everything in — but not actually being present for any of it. The commute eats the morning and the evening. The weekends get absorbed by recovery. There is no point at which it stops and something else begins.
Sometimes it is burnout that brings someone to therapy. Sometimes it is a relationship difficulty that has been sidelined by busyness. Sometimes it is the slow realisation that anxiety has been running in the background for so long it stopped feeling like anxiety and just started feeling like personality.
I work psychodynamically — meaning I am interested in the longer patterns underneath whatever brings you in, not just the symptoms. Sessions are weekly, open-ended, and at a consistent time that becomes its own structure in the week.
Is there a therapist near Marks Tey?
Yes. I am a BACP registered psychodynamic therapist at Colchester Business Centre, about 15 minutes from Marks Tey along the A12. Free parking on site, ground-floor access. Online therapy is also available for anyone aged 16 and over if the commute into Colchester is not always convenient.
How far is Marks Tey from your Colchester practice?
From Marks Tey it is roughly 15 minutes by car along the A12 east into Colchester. There is free parking at Colchester Business Centre, and the therapy room is on the ground floor — easy to reach without needing to navigate the town centre.
Can I have online therapy instead of travelling from Marks Tey?
Yes, for anyone aged 16 and over. Several clients from Marks Tey have sessions online rather than adding another journey to a day that already involves commuting. If you would rather come in person, the session in Colchester can work well as a natural stop on the way back from work.
Do you work with people dealing with commuter burnout?
Yes. The pattern I see regularly from this part of Essex is someone managing long days, an early-morning or late-evening commute, and a private life that always comes second. By the time they contact me, exhaustion has become their baseline. Weekly, open-ended psychodynamic therapy is well suited to this kind of persistent burnout.
