Morwenna Jessop
Counsellor, MBACP
Serves Area
Hi, I’m Morwenna. I help people who may seem to be coping on the outside but inside feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unlike themselves. You may be navigating anxiety, self-doubt, grief, infertility, pregnancy loss, or a period of change that has left you feeling uncertain. Perhaps you’re used to managing everything and supporting others, but now things feel harder to carry. I offer a thoughtful space where you can feel understood, make sense of your experience, and begin to move forward.

Most people don't come to me saying "I'm being manipulated." They say things like "I feel confused," "I'm always the one giving more," or, "I think I'm dealing with a narcissist,", "I don't understand what I'm doing wrong." They know something isn't right — and they often assume the problem is them. If you're feeling stuck, depleted, or like you're walking on eggshells in a relationship — romantic, family, friendship or work — you're in the right place.
