Jacqui Basham

I am available to see clients at Archway Health and Wellbeing in Market Harborough on Friday's 10am-6pm.

All potential clients are offered a free no obligation 20-minute face-to-face consultation. 

Fees:

£70 for individuals  

£110 for couples

I am qualified to work with adults as a -

1. Relational and Integrative counsellor incorporating humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy.

2. Bereavement counsellor working with grief and loss.

Additionally, I work as an emotionally focused therapist with couples.

My clinical experience coupled with years of lived experience, demonstrates my ability to support clients who come to resolve their distress. But I would also like to point out that while counselling can be a very beneficial, rewarding and healing, additionally it can be challenging and push your experiences of emotional discomfort. However; I will be here for you to offer a safe, secure, non-judgemental and warm environment where you can explore feelings, emotions, vulnerabilities, goals, achievements and much much more. 

While working with individuals, I am a relational integrative counsellor, meaning I integrate the three main approaches; Humanistic (person centred with an emphasis on personal growth), Psychodynamic (discovering unconscious processes and the importance of past, particularly early childhood) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (problem solving).

As a bereavement counsellor, my own personal lived experiences of loss and grief allow me to empathise and enable my clients a space to explore their feelings and to be heard and accepted. If you feel you are struggling and unable to function due to loss and grief, together we can explore ways to help you through the challenging times and head towards a journey of acceptance and healing.

Some of the topics we can explore include -

1. Emotions and managing emotional pain

2. Who am I and changes to my identity

3. Relationships and other expectations

4. Memories and living with reminders

5. Fear and the future

Additionally, I offer Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFCT); an evidenced based approach to psychotherapy. Unlike other couple therapies that focus on how to argue better and tackle ways to communicate, EFCT is rooted in the science of emotions and attachment and will help couples identify and transform the negative interaction patterns that create distress in relationships.

During therapy, couples will learn how to foster a secure attachment bond, enabling clients to respond to themselves and their partners in healthier, more constructive ways.

I trained in New Zealand and qualified with a Bachelor of Health Science in counselling, working for two organisations as an Integrative, psychodynamic and bereavement counsellor before returning to the UK. Drawing upon my counselling expertise and a wealth of life experiences, I am committed to providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment that supports individuals through their journey of healing. 

All clients are offered a free 20 minute face-to-face consultation where you can determine if I am the right counsellor for you. It is important that you feel safe and secure and that you can trust me as your counsellor for healing to begin.

Our first session will be for an hour. I will gather some initial background information and together we can explore what has brought you to counselling, how I can support you and what you would like to achieve through therapy.
