Asperger's Syndrome Counselling in Kettering

Choosing to have counselling can be a daunting step and I fully understand that. We all need someone to talk to and to feel heard and understood. As a person-centred counsellor my aim is to support you, in a safe confidential space to explore whatever difficulties you are experiencing, without any judgement. I am here to help you understand yourself a bit more, unravel your thoughts and feelings and work towards you feeling better and happier, possibly make changes and feel more able to function. I firmly believe in this quote: 'People start to heal the moment they feel heard'

The people I see pursue an assessment as they are experiencing difficulties in their lives and wonder if it may be due to Autism (previously Asperger’s syndrome) or ADHD. An assessment / diagnosis can provide understanding and help work towards change. I have over 19 years of experience of working with adults with Autism / Asperger syndrome and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) within the NHS and privately as a diagnostician and as a therapist and offer private Diagnostic Assessments for adults with possible Autism / Asperger syndrome and / or ADHD.

Making the decision to seek help is a strength, not a sign of weakness, by acknowledging that you have reached the point of needing additional support. The first step is always the most difficult but I can support you as you embark on your journey to strive for change. Finding the right counsellor is really important as you need to feel comfortable enough to share your vulnerability and know that you will be accepted and not judged. I believe that everyone deserves to have a safe, confidential space where they can feel respected and heard. I work with individuals, couples and groups of up to four people over the age of 18.

I have worked with young people that have a variety of conditions including a range of medical diagnosis including, Autism, OCD, ADHD, and Chronic Fatigue, Depression and Anxiety, PTSD, Eating Disorders as well as others. Important aspects of my role are to support those in distress to feel safe enough to explore their difficulties. To help create trust that they can tolerate different strategies, apply tools, which will help them to gain a better understanding, and empower them to ultimately find relief and a new strength that will create change.

You may have visited this webpage because you, or a friend or loved one, is feeling unhappy, overwhelmed by life, struggling with a particular life event, or emotional issue, or simply feeling ‘stuck’. You may want support to explore those things that matter most to you, or to go deeper, with help, to enable healing from past or present experiences or hurts. My name is Jackie and I am a registered and accredited person centred counsellor in private practice with over 17 years experience in a role I am passionate about. I am here to walk alongside you in your journey of therapeutic discovery back to wellbeing and health.

I work with adolescents and adults who would like to understand themselves better and who may need some help with managing their emotions and their day to day lives, improving their relationships, getting relief from symptoms of trauma and improving their self esteem and confidence. I also work with anxiety, phobias and functional pain/conditions. I can offer coaching to individuals to improve performance or to help them work towards making changes in specific areas of their life. I can also offer supervision to other professionals/organisations. I have a special interest in trauma informed care-training and implementation.

Hey there! Welcome. How are you? Sometimes there are too many words and sometimes there are no words. Sometimes it’s just a feeling on the inside or a weight on the outside. Or maybe it is more identifiable for you... Perhaps you're stressed at work? Feeling lost in life? Going through big changes? Not feeling yourself? Struggling with your identity, sexuality, health, or relationships? Dealing with painful life events? Whatever it feels like for you, whether you can explain the feeling or not, I'm here for you and I'm ready to listen and you will be heard. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be happy.

I am glad that you have found the courage to reach out and explore the possibility of change. When things feel too much, you or your child, may feel overloaded and struggle to find a clear way forward. I work with young people aged 11+ and adults. If you are affected by anything that is causing distress, sadness, low mood, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety - please get in touch. I specialize in working with those struggling with bullying, trauma, attachment issues, narcissism, neglect, family issues, domestic and sexual abuse; including child sexual exploitation - but will sit beside anyone who needs support.
