Jane Smith

Mondays 9am - 8pm, with some limited availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist, having qualified from the University of Manchester and with a depth of professional experience across both NHS and private settings.

I offer a safe, confidential and nurturing environment to help my clients achieve clarity, closure and personal growth. While I've developed specialisms in eating disorders, anxiety, bereavement and end-of-life counselling, I work with clients on a very wide range of issues.

I've been awards-nominated for my pioneering Pet Bereavement sessions, and I continue to press for human-animal relationships, including pet bereavement, to be taken seriously by medical professionals.

Couples therapy is also available, whether working with couples on relationship 'maintenance', couples in crisis or those seeking amicable divorce or separation.

Finally, I love to facilitate groupwork, including family therapy, and I run regular small-group sessions including Personal Development for Women and Healthy Ageing; details of all upcoming groups are available on request.

I see clients in my bright and comfortable consulting rooms in a historic building in Burslem, a stone's throw from the town centre and very near to Burslem Park.

There is metered parking immediately outside the office and free parking nearby (one minute's walk). Please note that there are some fairly steep stairs to my room - I will happily arrange for alternative rooms if needed but please let me know in advance.

Therapy sessions last 50 minutes for individuals and 90 minutes for couples and families.

I treat initial sessions as full talking therapy sessions; there are  no forms to fill out or assessments to complete during sessions.

Some Monday appointments; Tuesdays and Wednesdays 9am to 7pm; other days occasionally available.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist, having qualified at the University of Manchester and worked across a number of both NHS and private settings.

I work with individuals on a wide range of issues, although I have specialisms in eating disorders, bereavement, end-of-life and anxiety.

My work on pet bereavement has been awards-nominated, and I continue to press for companion animal relationships - and  bereavements related to them - to be taken more seriously by medical professionals.

Couples therapy is also available, whether for relationship maintenance, couples in crisis or couples working towards an amicable separation or divorce.

Finally, I'm a great believer in the power of groupwork, and I run regular small-group therapeutic programmes including Personal Development for Women and Ageing Well.

My bright and comfortable consulting room is located in Alsager town centre, with free parking immediately adjacent. There is a short flight of stairs but I'm happy to arrange for alternative rooms if needed.

Sessions last for 50 minutes (90 minutes for couples and groups).

I use initial sessions as regular talking therapy sessions - there are no forms to fill out or assessments to complete during the session.

I work Mondays through to Wednesdays in Burslem (Stoke-on-Trent) or by telephone / online.

I'm an integrative therapist experienced in working with individuals, couples and groups as well as in supervising counselling students and practitioners as they progress through their careers.

I find supervision to be very important work and a real privilege.

I work from bright and comfortable consulting rooms in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, with free parking nearby and cycle storage available.

Sessions are also sometimes available at my rooms in Alsager, Cheshire.

Please note that both venues have stairs; please contact me for alternative venue provision or for online or telephone supervision.

Because the right supervisee/supervisor 'fit' is vital, I offer a discounted initial session.
