Jeannette Bayliss

My private practice days are Monday and Thursday. Please contact me for current availability. I usually respond within 24-48 hours and can often offer a session within a fortnight.

I am an experienced counsellor / therapist working with individual adults (minimum age 18, no maximum age).

As a psychodynamic therapist I believe that past experiences and unconscious processes have a big influence on how well we function, how we feel, and how we treat ourselves and others. I am able to deal with difficult emotions, I listen deeply, and can help unpick complex issues.

Whether you’re going through a tough time or need a space to reflect on your life, I offer a confidential, calm and supportive service. 

Sometimes it’s important to speak to someone who is not in your family or network, and yet it can be difficult to pick up the phone, or even send an email. It takes courage and there are no guarantees.

When you are a client in therapy, you have the opportunity to be in a relationship with someone who you can expect to be reliable and trustworthy. What I can promise is that from the moment you make contact I will treat your concerns with empathy and respect for your individual background and situation.

If you want to find out more, please get in touch and I’m always happy to have a quick no-obligation chat with people considering therapy. Send me an email and I’ll get back as soon as I can. We might then have a chat to talk about what you want from counselling/therapy and to clarify some practicalities. That initial 10-20 min call is free.

If you want to explore further after that, I think you really have to meet with a therapist for a session in oder to decide whether that person and their approach is right for you. 

The way I conduct the first session doesn't significantly differ from any other session, but it is often a really impactful experience.
