Deciding to attend therapy is a difficult decision. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you can feel comfortable, I aim to provide you with that experience. I believe there is no position or age from which positive change cannot be made and will support you in the process. Alternatively, if you have a goal that you wish to achieve, either personally or professionally, it is vital you find someone who can bring energy, enthusiasm and pragmatism to your sessions. I also have experience in the corporate space and provide seminars on a number of issues and coaching for groups.

I am a clinical psychotherapist who is experienced in working with individual adults, couples and young people (ages 11-16). I work to help my clients through a wide range of issues known for causing psychological distress. These issues vary from anxiety to low self-esteem/confidence, stress, depression, addiction, grief and loss, bereavement, relationship issues, anger issues, abuse, self-harm, bullying and trauma. Sometimes it can be overwhelming when experiencing such issues causing us to feel disconnected from life, ourselves and those around us. Maybe it’s time to talk to someone.

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 carrying a weight that’s hard to name. Life can look fine on the outside, but inside feel unsettled or quietly overwhelming. I support people who may appear to be coping on the outside, but feel overwhelmed or stuck underneath — including those who have felt misunderstood or under pressure to manage alone. These feelings might follow loss, relationship endings, or work-related stress, or a long-standing sense that something isn’t quite right.

I work with adults who are navigating the impact of complex or overwhelming experiences, often feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Many of the people I see are from culturally diverse backgrounds or LGBTQ+ communities, and may be carrying experiences of identity conflict, or long-standing emotional strain. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin to relate to yourself with more clarity and self-compassion. I offer a free, no-pressure 15-minute phone consultation to see if we're a good fit. Please text or email me to find a time this week.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or burnout, holding things together on the outside while struggling within. Perhaps work, relationships or life transitions have stretched your coping capacity. You want relief, clarity and practical tools that actually work, not just coping strategies. You want to understand why you feel as you do and how to change it. Most of all, you want to feel calmer, stronger and more in control again. If you are ready to take that first step, you are exactly where you need to be.

You may be seeking counselling or psychotherapy for any number of reasons. Perhaps something specific has happened to you that you would like to talk about. Perhaps you don't really know what is wrong, but you are aware of feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed or stressed and feel you would like some support in working through and exploring what might be informing those feelings. In both, and all cases, my approach as a Psychotherapist is to work in a way which provides a safe, empathetic and confidential space, where you and I can together, explore what has brought you to therapy, and help you get back on track.

Feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and/or misunderstood can be the very things that bring you to therapy, especially when support feels out of reach or hard to define. Whether you’re navigating relational strain, emotional distress, or challenges that have felt persistent or confusing, therapy can be a space where your experience is met with genuine curiosity and collaboration. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating emotional and relational patterns, including neurodivergent experience, anxiety, low mood, parenting stress, and family conflict, in ways that honour your unique story.
