Hello, I'm Jane. I am an experienced therapeutic counsellor and CBT therapist.

Life does not lead us on a clear pathway and often we can benefit from support from people outside of our close circle of family and friends. However, taking that first step towards a counsellor can feel intimidating. As an experienced counsellor for adults, young people and children, I have worked with clients of a wide age range with a diverse range of issues to explore.
Through comprehensive experience within several charities, educational establishments and private practice, I offer a calm environment which feels welcoming, confidential and safe. With a counsellor who fulfils your own particular needs, who you can trust implicitly and feel comfortable with, counselling can become an empowering experience providing time for you to regain your bearings and contemplate your next step.
My aim is to join you throughout a reflective collaborative process but also one that helps to increase your resilience towards any future challenges you may face. Increased self-awareness can reveal your own innate strengths which you may have been unaware of.

I blend a range of therapeutic approaches to provide tailored support best suited to your own individual needs through a collaborative relationship based on trust. I am person-centred as I believe that we all have an innate tendency towards personal growth within a non-judgemental environment providing unconditional support.
I also offer CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which can help to develop tools for a goal-directed solution-focused approach to emotional and behavioural problems – however I remain alongside you with empathy and respect throughout. This can bring to your awareness mistaken well-established negative beliefs you may have developed through no fault of your own about your self-worth, the world and your place in it in the future.
I am a registered member of the BACP British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and follow their Ethical Framework to ensure that all sessions are held to the highest standards both professionally and ethically. I undertake regular supervision and a wide range of professional CPD to further my expertise.
