Jasmine Cortazzi

In person counselling in York (Fishergate or Fulford), or online.

Availability: Monday to Thursday day & evenings (Friday day time).

Email me for a free 10-15 min phone/online consultation. If you can, please give a quick overview of:

• what the issue is,

• how difficulties are impacting you,

• your counselling goals, and

• your available days/ times for counselling .

Do you suffer from high levels of anxiety, self-doubt, and a tendency to be self-critical, blaming yourself for difficulties? Maybe you have high standards, are a perfectionist, and are ambitious in wanting to drive yourself forward, but feel stuck in the past or continually repeat unhelpful patterns? At times, you may well feel lost and confused about how to achieve your goals in life. You may have committed to work on yourself, but feel very alone and 'stuck'. And this negative stress could be affecting your self-esteem, work, and relationships with loved ones and friends. Perhaps, you do not wish to trouble a partner, or a friend, and yet you need support to attract the positive changes you want to achieve in your life. As a BACP therapist, I have the expertise, training and empathy to help you progress.

I work with adults and older teenagers.

You have the potential to heal yourself and refresh your life. I will help you by listening to you with empathy, accepting you fully, and providing a safe space where you can speak without judgment. Through talking, you will gain clarity on your situation, become more aware of your choices, and feel able to work towards your goals. 

 I have training in a variety of counselling approaches: pluralistic counselling (which focuses on your goals, strengths, and inner resources); existential counselling (exploring what is meaningful to you); CBT strategies (finding alternative thinking pathways to help you address issues); and creative methods (for example, using narrative or card tasks or art to help you re-frame events or find calm). I may also draw on mindfulness strategies and visualisation techniques enabling you to imagine a desired future pathway. Every client is unique and so my approach is bespoke to them.

What to expect from me?

• Careful listening and empathy,
• respect,
• confidentiality,
• a strong therapeutic relationship,
• encouragement, warmth and support.

My background.

My background is in developing people as a highly experienced teacher and also a leader (in middle management roles). Given this, I have over 25 years' experience in helping people learn and in facilitating personal growth and development.

• Email to book a 10-15 min free consultation.

In our first session, I will ask you what the difficulties are and what your goal is. We will agree a counselling contract. I will ask you to give an overview of life events- but no detail, and will ask you if you have had counselling before and how you found it. I will be kind and offer a safe and confidential space for you.

Clients find me warm, kind and supportive and I will give you the space you need to talk & to process your feelings.

In person Supervision sessions in York or online.

I work with experienced counsellors and have limited availability for trainees.

Availability: Monday to Thursday day & evenings (Friday day time).

Email me for a free 10-15 min phone/online consultation. If you can, please give a quick overview of:

• Your experience of Supervision thus far.
• What you require from Supervision

Cost: £55 per hour

I can offer 'one off' supervision, or peer supervision to a qualified counsellor, and am also interested in working with trainee counsellors . My approach is relational, humanistic, and integrative. 

My style is to be supportive, but I will also gently challenge you to support your professional growth and insights, whilst also ensuring clients' well-being. I am an avid reader in the field of counselling and love doing new courses-most recently in REWIND to help process trauma, creative approaches and somatic healing.

 Should you be interested in working with me, I can offer you a free 15 min phone consultation to establish whether or not we would be a good fit and for you to share what you need from supervision.

I run a successful, busy, full-time, private practice in York helping clients with a range of presentations ( anxiety, depression, work stress, LGBTQ + issues, ADHD, relationship issues, grief/ loss, and trauma).

Prior to this, I worked for two different counselling charities as a volunteer counsellor over a 5 year period, and also worked for Better Help as an online therapist for a short time.

I completed my Supervision Diploma with Jane Warford from Leeds LCPD.

On our first session, I will ask you about where you are with your counselling career, your experience of Supervision and what you would like from Supervision.

I will go through a  Supervision contract with you to establish how to work together in a collaborative and productive way.
