About me and my therapy practice

Hi, I'm Jill, an experienced counsellor who is easy to talk to.  I am passionate about helping clients find their unique ways to move forwards from their problems and improve their sense of wellbeing.  

I will offer you a safe and respectful space.  As an integrative counsellor, I tailor the therapies I use to your individual situation.  So we can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, relationships and your context to understand them better. I will encourage you to understand how to use your own strengths and ways of coping.  You can then re-evaluate what is troubling you and consider your own options for moving forwards.

  • Accredited with the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP)
  • Master’s Degree (MSc) in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy from Derby University
  • Awarded Systemic Practitioner status with the Association of Family Therapists (AFT) for working with couples and families.
  • Qualified EMDR Practitioner
  • Certified to work online

I continue to enhance my skills with professional training each year.

I work with individuals and couples online: 

  • I am client centred; working to develop trust between us and create a way of working together that helps you understand yourself better and increases your confidence in moving towards change. 
  • CBT gives proven strategies and resources to explore your thoughts, understand and calm your feelings and bring choices about your behaviours.
  • Attachment-focused therapy gives insights into the deeper patterns in your relationships and ways of coping
  • Family Therapies support individuals, couples and families to understand difficulties and differences in relationships
  • EMDR is effective for working with trauma, anxiety, phobias, bullying or social humiliations and complicated grief.
  • Neuroscientific ideas tell us that we can change and having some insight into how our brain works can help us to understand our responses better.

About me and my therapy practice

About me and my supervision practice

I am an integrative counsellor who works with adults. I draw on person-centred principals, attachment focused therapy, systemic therapies and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) – all of which I can bring into the supervision space.

I qualified as a supervisor in 2016. I draw on Page & Wosket’s cyclical model and also on Hawkins & Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Process Model.  I work within the BACP’s Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.  I have experience supervising individuals and also in small supervision groups.  

I have always valued and appreciated supervision myself. It is important to me that I work in a collaborative way, so that we create together a working alliance.  I have a supervision agreement that sets out how we would work together.

My understanding of supervision is that it provides:

- a dedicated space and opportunity to examine practice, identify reactions, debrief and work towards a way forward

- it is a way of developing professionally and improving and deepening our skills

- it provides support when difficulties and dilemmas arise

- it helps to support self-care and resilience, because our counselling practice does impact us all
