About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I'm Jen.

I know how difficult it is to reach out for help because I have been in your position. I took that step and talked to someone and it changed my life. That is why I retrained as a counsellor.

So now I can help you:

If you are feeling anxious or lonely. If your anxiety feels like it is taking over your life.

Perhaps you are just sad and don't know why.

If stress or low self confidence is affecting your mood.

If that low mood is affecting the other areas of your life.

Perhaps you are just always angry, unhappy or withdrawn.

Maybe you have noticed a change in your behaviour or you lost connection with others.

Perhaps you overthink and cant sleep at night for your racing thoughts.

If any of these sound familiar, you may be noticing the negative impacts in other areas of your life; like sleep, work and health. You may be feeling disconnected from your family and friends, as your lack of energy and enthusiasm for life has gone. Perhaps you are irritable with your partner or family. Maybe making decisions just feels impossible as you feel stuck.

If this is you please do get in touch, I can help you.

I can help you to:

Feel heard and understood, so that you feel less alone.

Rebuild your self-esteem so that you are more confident and resilient.

Learn coping strategies so that you have tools you can use to feel calmer and happier and in control.

Understand what the underlying issue is, so that you can make confident decisions about your next steps.

Recognise how your behaviour may be affecting you and the people in your life, so you can make good choices and reconnect with them again.

Explore your boundaries and stresses so you can decide if you want to change them.

Look at all the different areas of your life to notice the good parts and challenge the bad so you can regain control and perspective.

I can help you with all these and more.... please contact me

Practice description

 I believe passionately in the benefits of counselling.

I have learnt through my personal experience of life's hurdles and my own use of counselling that I can take control of my situation and make good choices for myself. I have over 15 years experience of working with charities and have helped many individuals by supporting them through their challenging times.

My experience offers me an insight into your problems:

I know the importance of gaining understanding of why problems may exist and how to address these by building healthier communication.

I understand the impact of feelings of low self-worth, bruised confidence and low self esteem and how that might lead us to doubt ourselves and give up.

I have supported people to work through their feelings and responses, to make good decisions for themselves and their recovery.

I have helped individuals to take an in-depth look at themselves, and recognise their own needs first and how they might meet them.

About counselling....

I will offer you a non-judgemental approach so that you can explore and make choices with confidence.

I will support you to discover your inner strength and resilience.

I will be alongside you as you discover about yourself and work through any issues that may be holding you back.

How we will work together....

Establishing a connection built on trust and respect is essential in our work together. Therefore, it is important that you feel comfortable and relaxed with me.

I will offer you a quiet, neutral place to explore. I will be alongside, encouraging you, as you lead the sessions at your own pace. As a Humanistic counsellor I will be with you as you discover about yourself from your own perspective and life experience.
