Hello
A warm welcome to my therapy pages
There is no doubt our mental health can be severely impacted by events that occur in our life times. There are just times that life can be a genuine struggle and we can find it difficult to cope.
​
Whatever the reason, when we are suffering our mind and body responds in ways that can be difficult to manage or even understand; ​therapy can be a genuine resource in these circumstances. Working with a trained professional can help you to process what you're feeling and the physical and emotional responses you may suffer as an outcome.
​​​
Counselling is all about understanding the impact your issues have on your emotional & physical wellbeing, your life and relationships, and most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself!
​
Our time together is about building a collaborative and trusting relationship, a space that you feel is safe enough to explore what is going on for you in a confidential setting.
Support​​ of this nature can be genuinely tough at times, but putting the work in really can get positive, affirming results out.
​​​
This feedback from my client helps to put this into context:
​
“If you’re considering counselling with Jan, I cannot recommend her enough. As someone who had been putting off the process for a long time, being met by Jan’s empathy, kindness and the perfect sprinkling of humour was exactly what I needed to get started on the journey.
The process is a rollercoaster, but there is no one better to guide you through the tears and laughter than Jan. She works so hard to understand you as an individual, something I will forever be grateful for.”
