I’m a UKCP-Registered Neurodiverse Psychotherapist trained in Transactional Analysis which has its roots in Psychodynamic and Humanistic psychotherapy, and share similarities with Schema therapy. Transactional Analysis (TA) examines an individual's personality and how this has been shaped by experiences. This means I’m able to help clients understand the root of their issues and therefore make lasting changes.

If you're reading this it’s possible you are finding things difficult to cope with and would like to make more sense of the challenges you're facing. I know that trying to live with anxiety, depression, trauma, or complex relationships can feel overwhelming and it’s difficult to know how to keep going and where to start with getting help and support. I work a lot with clients who have had difficult past experiences which mean they struggle to trust and relate to others. By speaking to a professional who is experienced in helping people overcome these problems, you are giving yourself the best chance of making the changes you need.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed or stuck in life? Whatever your worry or concern, sharing what’s on your mind is the start of healing and self-acceptance. Asking for help is a vulnerable step, but I believe it's very worthwhile. I understand that finding a therapist you can trust and feel comfortable with, is an important decision. That is why I offer a free initial session where you can find out if we are a good match and ask any questions you might have. I welcome working with LGBTQIA+ clients, global majority clients, and clients with neurodiversity.

I offer a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore difficult and even traumatic events in your life. A place to process sudden changes in your life, or a place to grieve. A place to discover the patterns that you might have developed over time as a way to try protect yourself, and a place that facilitates change to get you closer to your true self, where you will be able to find harmony between what you think, feel and do. A place to explore your feelings and find a way of being that works for you, which might help to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and feelings of anger and fear.

Hi, I'm Jane. I bring my warmth, sensitivity and intuition to helping you understand the difficulty that has led you to seek therapy. I will work with you to explore what might be wanting to emerge through the pain or crisis that you are facing, and how that may lead to you having more ease, freedom and choice in your life; a life where you are thriving as opposed to simply existing. I have particular experience in working with identity issues (loss of self), anxiety and depression. I also understand the difficulty that often arises around mid-life. I create a space which is entirely yours to be ALL of who you are.

Therapeutic Counselling using the Arts, encompasses therapy and developmental psychology which enables me to work with and support clients to develop skills, to understand their personal circumstances better. Such skills are then internalised over time which helps their situation to be more manageable. l offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment to support our work, which brings skills of heightened empathy, observational skills and counter-transference into the clinical work, & broadens the experience for the client. I strongly believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and its impact on our work.

I am an Integrative Humanistic Therapist. I work with the understanding of intersectional complexities, neurodiversity and GSRD (gender, sexual, and relationship diversity). We explore all aspects of your lived experience to understand your current state of being. I utilise a trauma informed lens, as well as aim to re-establish connection with the body. Having lived in South Asia, the Middle East, America, France and now the UK, I am able to understand and acknowledge the social and cultural uniqueness of each person.

Hello, I trained in the Humanistic Integrative approach which means I work with each person as an individual, and can utilise different approaches to therapy. My aim is to work with you, focusing on what you bring to therapy, at your pace. Making the decision to contact a therapist is a big step, and I'd like to work with you in a confidential, supportive way to make this a positive step for you. If you are experiencing relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety or just feel that you need someone outside of friends and family to talk to, please get in touch by email or phone.

As a parent or carer, trying to find a psychologist for a member of your family can feel like the "Wild West". Someone who you can trust with your family, someone who is highly qualified and experienced but who is also warm, patient and friendly. By the time you are seeking help, things have usually been stressful for quite a while and many parents tell me they are feeling desperate and don't know where to turn. Long waiting lists for CAMHS and trying to find the right person adds to the stress at a time when time can be crucial.
