I am a BACP accredited & registered counsellor with over 11 yrs clinical experience. I work with adults (18yrs +) & my expertise is working with trauma, anxiety & High Sensitivity (HSP). I have also helped clients work through other issues such as; bereavement, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, attachment issues & depression. I have a Masters in counselling & a Post-Graduate Diploma in Person Centred Counselling. My Masters researched childhood trauma & the effects on attachment & the developing child's brain which is why my counselling approach is trauma informed & draws upon attachment theory & neuroscience.

Are you fed up of waking up in the morning with a feeling of dread, a churning in your stomach or a tightness in your chest? Are you frustrated from having thoughts going around in your mind, feeling like you're out of control? Are you finding yourself feeling sad and crying more than usual? Do you feel confused and often find yourself asking "what's wrong with me?" Maybe you are experiencing anxiety when faced with challenging situations and people? Counselling can help to support you through this distress and to help you to move forwards with your life.

I believe that every person is unique, and I hope to empower you to develop resilience, navigate life’s transitions, and overcome issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and self-esteem challenges. Central to my work lies a profound desire to understand you and to help you gain an understanding of yourself and enable you to seek the change you are looking for.

EXPLORE ~ EXPERIENCE ~ ENGAGE ~ EMPOWER How we feel can impact on our world significantly. Talking through thoughts and feelings at our own pace can be a helpful way to explore what may lie at the root of pain and difficulty. My endeavour as a PERSON CENTRED NATURE THERAPIST is to work alongside you in finding your way back to a space of balance and wellbeing within. PERSON CENTRED therapy is at the very core of how I work therapeutically and NATURE deepens and inspires that process. Combining these approaches can be a way to explore thoughts and feelings and facilitate healing.

We all know the routine: "How are you?" "I'm fine, thanks" – the standard response, hiding a deeper truth. Beneath the brave face, you might be feeling less connected to loved ones, friends, or even yourself. Sometimes anxious, as though in a crowded room yet completely alone. Perhaps the energy needed to connect has disappeared, leaving you feeling less able to engage? Or, maybe you’re aware of a sensation of emptiness or loss? Talking about your true feelings can sometimes be a daunting first step, but it's also the most important one towards feeling better.

I work closely with you as an individual by employing psychological approaches that are relevant to your needs. Such an approach ensures the development of an effective therapeutic relationship with you and represents a responsive form of practice. You are core to my practice, I draw from your own autonomy and treat everyone I engage with, with the dignity and respect they deserve. In adopting an ethical and empathic approach I place you at the centre of any work that is engaged in.

I can offer you support and guidance underpinned by my intention to ‘hold’ you through the process with compassion, warmth and tailored care. As part of this support we will work at your pace, making sense of what you need, your experiences and what change would be meaningful to you. We might address challenges or areas where you want to improve your experience. These may involve me helping you think about and work with past or current life experiences, strong emotions and relationships to name a few. In our sessions I will work in an integrated way, drawing on recommended psychological approaches that are known to be effective.

Coming to counselling is often the first step in your journey for positive change. There are different ways we can approach sessions; from different approaches to therapy and finding a way that is right for you. Everyone is different and therefore, with my pluralistic approach, we can explore different ways that are right by you, guided by how you are each session.

Hello! I'm Jazz, a warm and compassion Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping people to make sense of their difficulties and find the path forwards. When we experience difficult events in life, from obvious traumas to stressful life events (e.g., moving house, relationship break-downs), we do what we have to do to survive. We learn specific ways of being, and develop ideas about ourselves and others that help us to feel safe. This is our brain and nervous system doing the best job it can. However, often these patterns of thinking and behaviour remain long after the danger has passed, and no longer serving us.

Are you struggling to work out who you are, feeling othered, the odd one out, having different views about society? Are you using behaviours involving food - bingeing, restricting, avoiding, exercising or being sick as a mask for feelings? You may have sought external validation through diagnoses e.g. ADHD, Autism, BPD, OCD, CPTSD to name but a few. You may have had different types of therapy before through the NHS. You are longing for an answer to your eating difficulties, trauma or identity. You hide behind a mask of anxiety - maybe 'high functioning'? You may be unsure of where you sit on the gender and/or sexuality spectrum

I am a person-centred counsellor working in north-east Norfolk and Norwich. I offer face to face, online, and walking sessions. If you want to talk confidentially and safely to someone who is really listening, then counselling can help. I can help with trauma from past experiences, feelings of sadness, low self-worth, worries and fears, relationship concerns, or just unsettling thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words. In addition to private practice, I currently work as a Counsellor at The Norwich Centre, and I have previously worked for Mind, and as a Samaritans volunteer.

Making the decision to come and see a counsellor can be a daunting one at first, and for some it can feel overwhelming. One-to-one counselling is an important step towards helping you understand and identify the roots of your difficulties. You may be here because you feel you have hit rock bottom, or that you find yourself struggling with particular relationships. There are many valid reasons why we search out help for what can seem like impossible struggles.

Finding yourself on here means you have taken that first, and most likely scary, step towards seeking counselling. You may be experiencing ongoing issues (of any kind) or an unsettled period in your life and are looking for a safe environment to talk about and understand what you are experiencing. I am a qualified person-centred counsellor, but more than that, I am someone with a wealth of life experiences behind me. I believe that the combination of my training and these life experiences have helped me become a person who can offer empathy and compassion to those facing challenges.

My work is based on the belief that you know better than anyone else what is wrong and how to help yourself. I appreciate that at times it might not feel like this and we might need a little help to get back in touch with that internal sense of ourselves. By the end of our work together my hope is that you will feel better able to understand yourself and tune into what feels right for you. I have experience working with a wide range of issues and a particular interest in supporting clients wishing to explore issues in relation to gender, sexual and relationship diversity, self-esteem and neurodiversity.
