About me and my therapy practice
Hello my name is Jan and welcome, I offer Psychotherapeutic counselling to young people (12+), adults and couples.
People seek counselling for all different reasons. Maybe you're stuck, sad, overwhelmed? Suffering from low mood, overthinking and or negative thoughts. Or you feel unheard and you simply want to scream out loud and say things you never said before, perhaps therapy can help?
I have worked with lots of different problems including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief, loss, addictions, codependency, disordered eating and shame, whatever it may be I am keen to help.
Therapy can often be about change, you have reached a point where ‘enough is enough’ and you wish to identify your choices and build personal resilience. We will work together to build a trusting therapeutic relationship in order for you to explore this.
When we first work together I will listen carefully to your story with compassion, empathy and warmth whilst offering a non judgemental approach. Often being understood perhaps for the first time can be deeply healing.
Secondly, I will listen to your thoughts/thought process. I will be listening to whether your thoughts are being unkind to you, if what they are telling you is the whole story, or if there is a negative bias which might be making things more difficult for you. Our brains are amazing at creating short cuts in our thought processes, but sometimes these short cuts don't benefit us and can lead to some cognitive distortions. I will gently challenge you so that you can gain greater awareness of your thought process and how this might be impacting on your mood and behaviours.
Thirdly, and for me, most importantly, I will help you to explore and acknowledge your feelings. Our feelings are our guides they are too important to ignore. Sitting with strong feelings can be difficult, but worthwhile. I can help you with this. To acknowledge your feelings and allow them to begin to flow, rather than denying or repressing them.
Practice description
Counselling I offer
There are lots of different types of counselling available. I work in an integrative way, from a person-centred core approach. This means I work to create a trusting, empathic therapeutic relationship which is beneficial for my clients. I then integrate a blend of theoretical approaches, Psychodynamic, Attachment Theory and Transactional Analysis in my model, to enable me to work with a range of issues, both past and present, that might be presented. I work both long term and short term with clients. The sessions are open ended and my clients are free to finish sessions with me at any point.
What to expect when you contact me;
I know it can take a lot of courage to ask for help. I will offer you an initial appointment that is convenient for you and will try my best to put you at your ease. I will meet you with understanding and warmth, without any judgement and try to help you decide on the right way forward for you.
Life can throw us some massive curve balls, life events can send us reeling, human lives rarely run smoothly all the time. You don’t have to negotiate this on your own. Please contact me if you would like to book an initial session with me and start your therapeutic journey.
I am a registered member of the BACP (MBACP) which means I am committed to working ethically with you and put your wellbeing at the centre of our work together.

I am based in Charvil near Twyford, Wokingham, Bracknell, Reading, Henley and Woodley. I am also qualified to work online.
