Welcome, I work as a qualified counsellor and psychologist, with a trauma informed approach including EMDR Therapy. I help clients understand what’s making your life feel so difficult and how to move through it to a brighter future. I understand all the different mental health diagnoses and how that affects your physical health too. I have a private studio in my garden set up solely for therapy sessions. I'm also a breathwork facilitator and I have foundation proficiency in Functional Kinesiology. These extra modalities truly enhance the support I can offer my clients.

Do you ever find yourself falling into the same unhelpful patterns - relationships, working too much, health - but don't seem to be able to stop this? Do you ever feel distress, anxiety, depression or sadness that can feel uncontrollable? Have you suffered a recent trauma and need help for PTSD? As a psychologist with ten years experience offering therapy, often to individuals with complex needs, I am passionate about helping you to break your cycles and understand why they occur. This can include offering a safe space to explore any history of difficult experiences which you still feel effect you.

Hello, My name is Jeanette and I am a clinical psychologist working across the NHS and offering private therapy. I have worked with clients literally across the lifespan from conception within a perinatal service, through childhood and adolescence into adulthood, then onto older adults. I feel very privileged to hear people's stories and what they are able to share regarding their issues/worries/challenges with me. I do not take this connection with the clients I work with for granted - I feel honoured to work therapeutically with clients to find a positive outcome or resolution for them to resume a quality of living.

Going to therapy (sometimes known as counselling or psychotherapy) can often feel like a daunting task and finding the courage to take those initial steps can be difficult. You may already feel overwhelmed whilst searching for a therapist and have many questions, such as what do the different approaches and qualifications mean, who is experienced enough and who could help me the best? Regardless of which approach is used, one thing we do know is that the most important factor in creating positive client outcomes is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client.

At any time in our lives events can take over leaving us feeling anxious or depressed; or early negative experiences or trauma can replay in our mind, causing distress. My belief is that each individual is the person best placed to make the right decisions about themselves, however, there are times when we can lose sight of who we are and feel taken over by negative thoughts, feelings and responses that seem to work at odds with the life we want to lead. Counselling can help to make sense of these thoughts, feelings and responses and explore options for change by providing a safe space where you will be heard and respected.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and I offer psychological therapy for adults with a range of difficulties. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach with my clients, as we work together to meet your therapeutic goals. I have expertise in trauma and neurodivergence and often work with clients who are wondering if they may be autistic, or have a confirmed diagnosis. Whilst I draw on a number of evidence based psychological approaches in my therapeutic work, I mainly use EMDR which has a strong evidence based for trauma and anxiety.

Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in cycles of anxiety, burnout, or relational difficulty. Together, we work gently and collaboratively to restore a sense of safety, self-trust, and emotional steadiness. My approach recognises that experiences are not held only in thoughts, but also in the body and nervous system. By working with both, meaningful and sustainable change becomes possible.

I believe that, due to the unrelenting pressures of the world we live in and the way our brains have evolved, everyone can find life difficult sometimes. It is easy for our minds to appear to work against us; getting stuck in loops of painful thoughts and feelings. This can result in depression, anxiety and difficulties with relationships. People who have experienced significant distress, trauma or hurt in life can also, not surprisingly, experience significant difficulties where memories come to haunt us and send us back to previous pain. I hope to help people life the life they want to live, with some sense of agency over pain.

I offer therapy to individuals aged 18+ in the Dunstable and Milton Keynes areas. I can help you explore any emotional difficulties you may have. Sometimes we don't know why we keep reacting to others the way we do. We just know we don't want to feel the way we feel anymore. Perhaps you seem to have everything together on the surface but underneath you feel overwhelmed, and you worry about what others might think of you if they knew the truth. You may have been trying to figure this out on your own but get frustrated because nothing seems to work. Maybe you feel that your issue is too insignificant and others have bigger problems.
