Parenting Counselling in Southampton

I am a highly experienced counsellor and my aim is to create a positive, trusting environment in which I help you to help yourself. I provide a safe and caring professional counselling and psychotherapy service. I am an empathic and approachable person working in a non-judgemental and confidential way. By exploring your past, the causes of present day problems are often revealed. We can't change the past, but we can gain understanding allowing you to relate differently to yourself, others and problems in order to choose to make changes or find acceptance.

Do you ever feel that you're not good enough, have low self-worth or lack confidence? Are you struggling with low moods, anxiety or depression, or facing changes in your life that are causing unease? Perhaps you just need a space where you can let out pent-up emotions without worrying about upsetting. I see clients in-person in Southampton and Fareham, or online & telephone nationwide. I work with adults of all genders, sexualities, races, religions, and disabilities who need someone to talk to about whatever is troubling them and who want to be received with understanding and acceptance as they explore what's going on for them.

We all get stuck, from time to time. Sometimes it feels like we cannot move forward. It can be frustrating, constraining and painful. Yet there is energy behind every blockage, and looking at it from above – as if from a bridge – can be the first step to unlocking our potential. This is what I aim to offer to my clients. My approach adapts to individual needs and is culturally sensitive, as it draws on my experience of transit and change. I practise in English and Italian. Face to face and online. My practice is grounded in the understanding that adverse experiences can affect us on a neurological, psychological and physical level.

Hello there and welcome. Sometimes life can be overwhelming for all sorts of reasons and we may need a little help to try and work our way through it. Counselling can give us the help we need, by offering a safe place to sit with someone who is there to help you through those tough times. I understand that the decision to have counselling can perhaps be a difficult one, but I believe that together we can ease those fears and anxieties. Then, as we begin to develop a therapeutic and healing relationship, you will hopefully begin to feel more able to share all that is on your mind.

People come to counselling for many reasons, each as unique as you are. Often, it's about finding a safe space to unpack thoughts and feelings that seem overwhelming or confusing when dealt with alone.

Hello I'm Jen and I am a person-centred therapist and I have been in private practice since May 2020 where I see clients remotely. I offer person-centred therapy to both adults and children. Working as a person-centred therapist I believe the client is very much the driver of their own therapy journey and I am here to offer that safe space required to enable the client to freely explore what is going on for them at a pace which feels natural to the individual. There is no obligation to set goals as the therapy I provide is very fluid and can go in any direction as the therapy offered is all about the person and not goals or targets.
