Individual Therapy

My training allows me to explore why people behave the way they do, to uncover unhelpful patterns of behaviour that may be affecting relationships with family, friends and colleagues.

Through uncovering these patterns, I help clients to become more self-aware and empowered to make changes in their lives that will bring them more peace and contentment, help them to live more autonomously and take responsibility for changing their lives for the better.

People come to me for all sorts of reasons, when life becomes too hard.

Here are some of the things that counselling can help with:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Loss of self-esteem and confidence
  • Panic attacks, trauma and post-traumatic stress
  • Relationship and communication issues at work
  • Grief, loss or bereavement
  • Problems with addiction
  • Abuse
  • Difficulties at work or in retirement
  • Problems with family or school life
  • Midlife burnout, menopause and overwhelm

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy helps partners to reconnect through improved communication, empathic understanding and ultimately behavioural change. Every relationship has its own rhythm - times of closeness, distance and inevitable life changes that test your connection.

Whether you are feeling stuck in repeating patterns, struggling to communicate or are finding it hard to rebuild trust, couples therapy can help you to understand what is happening beneath the surface and start moving forward in a healthy way.

I offer a calm and supportive space where both partners feel heard and respected. I will not take sides but help you to see patterns of behaviour that are not serving you and offer new ways to relate that bring more openness, honesty and understanding.

My approach is Transational Analysis (TA) which helps you explore how you communicate and respond to each other - it makes sense of familiar roles, reactions, common triggers that keep you feeling misunderstood and disconnected.

Couples therapy can help with issues such as:

  • Communication issues
  • Affairs and betrayal
  • Unemployment, redundancy, retirement
  • Parenting differences and blended families
  • Future proofing your relationship
  • Effect of trauma on relationships
  • Life stages and menopause
  • Wanting more
  • Separation and divorce

*Typically I offer 8 sessions initially for couples and this can be either weekly or fortnightly.

Testimonials

" When I first attended with PTSD, I couldn't see a way to get past the trauma that completely overwhelmed my whole existence.

With the experienced and knowledgeable support of Jane, I am in a much better place having worked through the trauma right from the very beginning and created a mental toolkit with her to help me through any further bumps in the road! I felt listened to, acknowledged and validity in my feelings and physical responses. The open offer of return if needed has also really relaxed my mind, knowing that this is not the end and I have somewhere to go if needed.

Thank you Jane "

" Jane has the ability to invite her client into the room and allows them to express themselves freely in a safe and protected space which she has created. She is congruent and authentic in the way she presents herself, holding boundaries, self-care, and self-awareness. One of Jane’s strengths is her ability to enter another person's frames of reference by being fully present in the session and to understand their experiences. "
