Do you feel like you are talking past each other, not with each other?

Initial Consultation Making sure you feel comfortable is my main priority, so you are always free to give me a call before booking your first therapy session. Please don’t hesitate to share your concerns or ask any questions during this chat. Therapy, after all, is a two-way process, and the more you put into it, the more you get out. I will also walk you through what to expect from our sessions together and, if you wish, provide you with a copy of the Ethical Principles on which my practice is built ahead of scheduling your first assessment session. This assessment session involves us looking at your history and broader issues.

Hi, I'm Jody, a Level 5 Qualified Integrative Counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
As an Integrative Counsellor, I don’t believe one approach suits everyone. Every person is unique, which is why I adapt the way I work to best suit the person.
Alongside my counselling work, I’ve spent over twenty years in senior leadership roles within a large international organisation.
I also have lived experience of poor mental health so am aware how overpowering and debilitating it can be.
Due to all of the above, this places me in a unique and honoured position to help.

I work in multiple areas, such as anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), relationship, health issues, work and life balance, sports performance, work performance, relationship difficulties and barriers to a healthy lifestyle.

Clients often come to me following a particular event, bereavement, loss, trauma, experiencing depression, low moods or low self esteem. A client may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected from the person they used to be. Sometimes they simply know that something doesn’t feel right but don’t know where to begin.
I will work alongside you, at your pace, helping you to explore what you are experiencing and understand yourself more deeply.
Together, we can gently explore the things that may be holding you back, helping you recognise your own strengths, develop greater self-awareness and discover what feels right for you.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
