Hi, I’m Jayne, You might be navigating the loss of a relationship or someone close to you, feeling stuck in a situation that no longer fits, or simply carrying a weight that’s hard to name. Life can look fine on the outside, but inside it might feel unsettled, directionless, or quietly overwhelming. - These feelings don’t always come with a clear cause. They might follow bereavement, the end of a relationship, burnout, work-related stress, or the slow realisation that something from the past is still shaping how you feel today. You might feel too much or too little, or simply find it hard to make sense of what’s really going on.

Hello, Welcome to my webpage. It is not easy to find a suitable therapist, especially when you are in distress. I hope that this page will provide some clarity as to whether I might be the right therapist for you. I offer open-ended psychotherapy or brief counselling. In open-ended psychotherapy we could, for example, talk about your difficulties and explore the underlying issues. We could try to understand why you think, feel and behave the way you do. The insight which you gain could help you to let go of patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may have sustained you in the past, but now cause you difficulties.

Experienced, discreet, and attuned to the pressures of high-responsibility roles, I offer a thoughtful space to reflect beyond the public self. My work helps make sense of what drives you—especially when it feels out of reach. I am a British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) accredited psychotherapist, practicing psychodynamic psychotherapy, a psychoanalytically informed, comprehensive, and integrative approach. Rather than simply addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unconscious processes and early experiences that shape and control your life.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I have spent most of my career working in NHS services for older people. While I remain deeply passionate about this area, I also value the opportunity to work with clients across different life stages in private practice. I understand that sharing distressing thoughts, feelings, and experiences can take a great deal of courage. My aim is to create a safe, exploratory, and non-judgemental space where you feel supported, while also offering practical and personalised strategies to help you achieve meaningful change.

There's a first time for everything. Most newcomers to counselling & psychotherapy start out feeling a little intimidated by the idea of this rather mysterious process. I aim to demystify what I do - clients often comment on what they describe as a down-to-earth and accessible approach. My aim is ultimately to help you understand yourself and your behaviour. I feel that goal is best achieved by working in a non-threatening, straightforward and inclusive way.
