Working with people to help them through trauma, distressing life events, adverse childhood experiences, the knock-on effects of dealing with bereavement of any sort, the impact of living with long term ill-health, disability or coming to terms with a new diagnosis, truly is my passion. These are some of the many reasons people come to see me, but I also work with young people (aged 13+) supporting them with friendship issues, self-esteem, self-harm, dealing with the effects of bullying, figuring out their gender identity and supporting them with the impact of divorce and of having a narcissistic parent in their life.

My name is Janette and I offer counselling therapy for adults over 18yrs. When life is difficult it can be difficult to reach out for support. This can lead to feelings of isolation, feeling overwhelmed as well as feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress. You may be carrying worries from the past or have worries about the future which are affecting you today. I offer a safe, confidential place to explore what brings you to counselling within an empathetic ,non-judgmental, professional relationship where you can be heard and be your true self.

Is your goal to not just reduce distress, but to build your strength, make sense of experiences, and grow? If your struggles are related to anxiety (and all its forms), depression, life stress, trauma (past and present), neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), aspects of identity, relationship problems, adjustment to changes, indirect effects of physical health problems, or existential meanings, I can work with you. My practice is inclusive, with deep respect for your lived experience and autonomy.

Do you long to experience some peace, freedom and self trust around food? I believe this should be a birthright for everyone. If you are feeling out of control around food and concerned about the size or shape of your body, I get it because I've been there. I now use my professional and lived experience to help others find their way out of the prison of binge eating. I'm sure you have tried many times to gain control of your eating and maybe you're at a point where you're thinking there must be more going on than simply not being able to stick to a diet. Is therapy the answer?

I offer a confidential, safe space to talk about those issues that are currently causing you concern and emotional pain. It can help to talk to an independent, qualified person when we have run out of ways of helping ourselves. It may be that you feel that you keep repeating the same mistakes in relationships or you can't find the enthusiasm to make the most of life, or problems such as anxiety and low self esteem are holding you back. You may feel that you would like to have greater insight into who you are or work out how you want your life to be.

I specialise in working with couples and individuals, and regularly work with clients in areas including: communication, affairs and infidelity, blended families, bereavement (loss and grief), embedded trauma, depression and anxiety. In my practice, I endeavour to work with clients in an empathic, collaborative and non-judgemental way. My integrated approach uses systemic theory (including exploring your thought processes and present situation) and psychodynamic theory (historical exploration linking to unconscious thoughts and behaviour). I also apply aspects of emotionally-focused therapy (EFT); and trauma focused therapies.
