I am currently available Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Evening and Saturday morning appointments also offered. Please feel free to contact me to arrange an initial consultation and to confirm my availability. I can be contacted on 07566278510 and jbcounsellingservices1@outlook.com

As an integrative counsellor, I draw upon a range of therapeutic methods to support my clients. This enables me to tailor my work more specifically to your needs. My foundation is built on a person-centred perspective, which means I believe that each individual is the expert on themselves.

I offer one-to-one sessions for children, young people, adults and older adults. I offer a non-judgemental, welcoming safe space where you can talk confidentially.

I have experience working with a wide range of presenting concerns, including but not limited to: anxiety, bereavement, depression, identity issues, post-traumatic stress, relationships, self-esteem, and work-related issues.

My qualifications include:

• BA(Hons) Combined Studies: Social Sciences – Social Psychology, Sociology and Economy and Society

• Level 5 BTEC Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling working with Adults and Young People

• NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Counselling Skills

• NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills

• NCFE CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Children and Young People's Mental Health

During our sessions together we can explore a range of things, including your thoughts, feelings, emotions, or situations you may be finding difficult to navigate. I am here to walk alongside you as your journey unfolds. I will tailor our sessions, drawing on a range of techniques to suit you. Essentially it is talking therapy but can include more creative approaches if you are more comfortable with that such as, working with buttons, stones, visual aids, worksheets, calming techniques and mindfulness.

The therapy I offer, draws upon both my life experiences and my professional skills as a counsellor. This combination allows me to bring a unique perspective and depth to the support I can provide, which I believe ensures a well-rounded approach to my client care. I offer a friendly, supportive, and confidential service. My aim is to provide a non-judgemental environment, to allow you to safely and confidentially explore your concerns, through a variety of approaches.

I offer both short-term and long-term sessions to children, young people, adults and older adults.

Sessions can be face-to-face, telephone and online.

For the initial session, I offer a short introductory telephone call. This will provide you with an opportunity to discuss your hopes, needs and goals for therapy, as well as to ask any questions about the counselling process. This will help you to decide if I am the right fit for your therapeutic journey.

Following this call, I will send you a copy of the client agreement. This further outlines the details of the therapeutic relationship. During our first counselling session we will look at this together to ensure you are comfortable with the agreement.
