Through my own personal experience of struggling with life’s challenges, I know how hard it is to take that first step and reach out for support. When I did so, I realised how important the relationship between the therapist and the client is.  This is what guides my own practice as a therapist.  It is important that you find someone you like and who makes you feel safe.

I offer a space where you will be heard and understood without judgement. We will work at your pace and focus on what it is you feel you need to explore. I will not lead or presume to know what meets your needs. Through this process, I will support you to make sense of and to find your own way through what is impacting on your wellbeing.  My approach is gentle and collaborative, focusing on understanding you and how you experience the world, and supporting you to explore what is going on for you.  The space is safe, confidential, nurturing and welcoming yet professional.

Counselling was a last resort for me. I didn’t feel like my life was going anywhere and I was doomed to end it all early. But you really gave me a new perspective on life & helped me massively to release myself of past traumas that were holding me back for so long.  I feel I’ve really managed to push on and leave those negative feelings and behaviours behind me. I am looking forward to see where I can get to with the foundations that you helped lay.

Jan not only allowed me get to the root of the anxiety of connecting with a biological parent lost through adoption but also helped me develop the tools to nurture that relationship positively. I am eternally grateful to Jan’s aid in moving forward with what had initially felt like an impossible mountain to climb.
