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 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.

I’m a clinical psychologist offering private therapy alongside my role as a senior psychologist in the NHS. I draw on personal and professional experience to offer guidance within a warm, non-judgemental space. I like to work together with my client, exploring their needs and preferences and then offering ideas informed by a range of psychological models. The models I draw on most are Schema Therapy and third-wave CBT therapies such as ACT and CFT. Often our work involves uncovering and strengthening resources that people already have or getting in touch with lost values.

I am particularly experienced in supporting people through periods of change or transition, including difficulties relating to identity and belonging, loss, relationships, self-esteem, low mood, anxiety, and navigating bias or mental health stigma. However, all clients bring their own story and themes to the work and I feel comfortable meeting you wherever you are at.
We can work in both short or longer term interventions and some clients may prefer to have more structured 'goals' from the therapy. Regardless, I believe it is important to review the work periodically, to reflect on what feels helpful and what may need to change.

Sometimes what we need isn't someone with all the answers — but someone who can walk alongside us, offering both structure and space, while we make sense of what we're carrying. I believe that therapy works best when it is collaborative and empowering — with you as the expert on your own life, and me holding the space for whatever you bring.
With over a decade of experience across the NHS, charitable, and third sectors, I bring evidence-informed practice alongside genuine curiosity about each person I meet. My approach is collaborative, drawing on your own strengths and self-knowledge rather than imposing a framework.

Sometimes things in life can start to seem overwhelming; the useful strategies of the past may not be as helpful as they used to; we can find ourselves lost and unsure. This can often lead to added, despair, anxiety, and self-criticism. It can often seem hard to see a way out or to ask for help. You may need someone to listen without judgement and provide insights into understanding patterns in your life. You may also desire strategies to change your actions and the way that you think about things. The way to a fulfilling and valued life is available without a life-long commitment to therapy.

For many years there has been a lot of stigma around mental health & therapy and even more so within Black & Ethnic Minority communities. This has stopped so many people from seeking the help that they need and often means that people have reached burnout before speaking up or asking for help. I believe that therapy is for all and my passion is to make it accessible to all. If this is resonating with you in any way, know that there is no shame in reaching out. Sometimes speaking to someone you don't already know can give you the freedom and clarity you need, without the pressure of seeming to have it all together.

Do you ever feel caught in endless loops of overthinking or intrusive thoughts that feel too intense to ignore? Maybe you replay conversations, double-check decisions, or search for certainty that never comes. OCD can make you question everything, convincing you your thoughts say something terrible about you. It’s exhausting, leaving you stuck in your head instead of your life. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to help you quiet anxiety, loosen OCD’s grip, and move toward what matters. I’ve also contributed to a BBC Sounds podcast on ADHD.
