Jane Welch

I’m a qualified counsellor and coach. My journey into the world of counselling and coaching has been driven by a deep passion for helping people navigate life’s complexities without any judgement.

My counselling sessions are person centred, which puts your needs at the centre of all we do. I will offer insights and reflections and different ways of exploring your thoughts. I offer face to face, online, and walk & talk sessions each for 50mins.

I bring a blend of empathy and focus, with a commitment to growth and change. Together, we’ll discuss how you like to work, so I can flex my approach to suit your goals and needs.

I am trained to support all aspects of loss, whether through bereavement, losing a child, your sense of self through redundancy or menopause and other health conditions, financial loss or identity through redundancy and career changes and so much more.....  If you are struggling, and would like a safe space, you've found it.  See my website for more, or call..

As well as having my own life experiences, as a volunteer I’ve been a school governor, befriender, volunteer counsellor and part of community projects, hopefully illustrating some of my values.

My professional career has always been people focused, with building relationships and understanding the goals of others being paramount. In a career within Learning & Development and Human Resources, I’ve worked across industries such as Retail, Automotive, Sales and Marketing, Airport, Travel, Education, Insurance and Charity sectors. 

If you would like a counsellor or a coach or a blend of both, I may be able to help.  If you're not sure then take a look at my website for more information or we can have a chat.  

Whether its something from your past affecting confident / self esteem, blocking you being able to reach a goal, a current situation you're struggling with, or a very clear target you have, we will find your path.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes, we need a safe space to unload, exploring the matters on our minds, helping us understand, heal and grow. I offer that safe, confidential, and supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviours and actions without judgment, in a bid to lighten your load. You will be empowered, with insights and approaches to overcome obstacles, build resilience, to achieve a sense of balance and well-being.

Reaching out for help and support can feel like failing, but in fact its one of the bravest things you can do. I’m here to make that first step as safe and comfortable as possible. Our relationship is key, so we’ll work in a way you are comfortable with, and I’ll adjust my style if needed to keep your needs at the centre of all we do.

I work in a variety of ways for that you may wish to try;

Online Sessions: Select a safe, confidential space to sit comfortably. Make sure you can talk freely, not be overheard, and we’ll connect online. No travelling, and you're in an environment where you are comfortable!

Walk & Talk: Combine therapy with benefits of nature. This approach can increase serotonin hormones, lifting our mood, Vitamin D exposure for health benefits, increase social interaction, support physical health and gets those steps in! We go as slowly as you want, or find a bench to sit. This approach may reduce the anxiety of sitting opposite me, versus walking side by side. We go out in most weathers, with online or in-person as back up. I offer sessions in Surrey locations in CR6, CR8, CR3, CR0 or nearby routes. We can discuss options.

Face to Face: Available in a comfortable, confidential and safe garden room in Surrey, CR6. You can walk away and leave your worries in the room.

I'm a fully qualified Counsellor and registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists). I abide by their ethical code of conduct, specifically regarding legislation, confidentiality and my professional development.

Its important you feel safe in the way we work together, and we know I have the right skills to support you.

Therefore, before our first paid session, I'll ask to speak with you by phone so we can work out if I am the right therapist for you. We'll have a 20minute free phone call, so you can share your situation at high level, ask questions of me, and I'll ask a bit about you too. If you decide to go ahead, I'll send you some forms to complete and return to me before your first session.

During our first paid session, we'll review your information and agree how we work together before we then get started. I'll explain everything as we go along.
