Hello, I’m Jill.

I am a warm and conscientious Senior Accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist working both indoors and outdoors.

I bring more than 15 years experience working as a Counsellor in a full-time capacity to my private practice. My experience includes GP practices, NHS Occupational Health,  Mental Health Services, Bereavement & Palliative care.

My therapeutic approach is Integrative. I have a Diploma in Counselling (2010) and a Master of Science Degree in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (2013) both from the University of Salford. 

​I have also completed training in other therapy modalities including Outdoor Therapy, Coaching, Mindfulness, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Single-Session Therapy (SST). I have done extensive continuous professional development and training to work with anxiety disorders, domestic abuse, grief and loss, long-term physical health conditions, menopause, sleep issues, and suicidal feelings.

I also have 20 years experience as a Registered Nurse.

Each of us can experience emotional, mental and spiritual difficulties. You might be feeling anxious or stressed and want to find calm and inner peace. You might be struggling with grief or loss, or struggling with pain or health issues and want to find a way forward or a way of coping. You may have lost your sense of purpose in life and feel unfulfilled. These are some of the issues I specialise in.

Please see my website for further information.

We will decide together what feels right for you and what will be most helpful for you. I work in a holistic and integrated way to suit your needs and your preferences.  

We may look at what life is like for you now, explore your past experiences, or focus on your hopes for the future, whatever feels right for you.

We will work at your pace whilst making sure you feel safe, whether it be dipping your toe in the water initially, or taking a deeper dive further along.

​If you wish to, it may help your therapy to do in-between session tasks and I can suggest 'homework', such as reading, relaxation techniques, and/or physical and creative exercises.

We will review our work together regularly to ensure you feel you are getting what you want from counselling.

It is important that you feel I am the right therapist for you. Our  therapeutic rapport is essential, and so I offer a free 20 minute no obligation introductory session.

My therapy room is in the garden and is calming and comfortable, with natural light and windows.

I will ask some questions to get a picture of what’s happening for you. I will answer any questions you may have.

I will give a general outline of what our therapy may look like and explain fully about privacy and confidentiality. 

The first session is an assessment session. We will agree on how we will work together and complete a counselling agreement. I will gather further information, including a risk assessment. I will ask you to complete outcome measures - or questionnaires. This allows us to track your progress.

Hello, I'm Jill.

I am a warm & conscientious Clinical Supervisor.

I am a Registered and Senior Accredited Counsellor with the BACP.

Please view my website for further information.

I have more than 15 years’ experience as a Counsellor working in a full time capacity and I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Clinical Supervision from the University of Derby.​ I have a Diploma in Counselling and an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy both from the University of Salford.

My counselling experience includes, GP practices, mental health services, NHS occupational health, and palliative care and bereavement.

I previously managed a BACP Accredited Counselling Service.

I also have over 20 years experience as a Registered Nurse.

I provide a safe and supportive environment in which you can be open and honest, reflect on your practice, develop your knowledge and skills, and enhance your well-being.

My mission is to help maintain a highly ethical, effective & healthy counselling profession.

I strongly support statutory regulation of counselling and psychotherapy and that counsellors should not be expected to work without pay.

Please note I do not work with newly qualified counsellors in private practice. Counsellors should have extensive post qualification experience to work independently. Training is not sufficient.

I work with Hawkins & Shohet 7-Eyed Model of Supervision  &/or the Cyclical Model of Supervision for Counsellors and with Procter's Model of Supervision for Nurses. 

I encourage regular supervisory reviews and evaluations. I want to ensure you are getting the most out of each session and our work together is meeting your requirements. 

I incorporate the BACP Ethical Framework in your work with clients and discuss regularly.

I also incorporate the BACP Supervision competence framework within my practice.

I offer a free 30 minute no obligation introductory session to discuss your supervisory requirements and for you to make sure you feel I am the right Clinical Supervisor for you.

My therapy room is in the garden and is comfortable, with natural light and windows.

I will explain about privacy and confidentiality. I will give a general outline of how I work and I will answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to hearing from you.
