Person-Centered Therapy, believed that everyone is different and, therefore, everyone’s view of his or her own world, and ability to manage it, should be trusted. All of us have the power to find the best solutions for ourselves and make appropriate changes in our lives. As your psychologist I will provide unconditional positive regard, which means I will be empathetic and non-judgmental to convey your feelings of understanding, trust, and confidence that encourage you to make your own decisions and choices. I place high value on empathetic understanding, which means I completely understand and accept your thoughts and feelings.

Life, from time to time, can become a struggle for all of us, and often we feel the desire to reach out for some understanding or companionship. However, we still live in an age where seeking support or help is often regarded as a sign of weakness. I believe the complete opposite. To seek out help and support in your darkest hours in order to better understand yourself and overcome your difficulties is a sign of true bravery and courage. By reaching out, you take the first courageous step toward healing, growth, and reclaiming your inner strength.

Hello, I'm Jodie!
You might be coping on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside.
Life can feel heavy, uncertain or demanding and it can be difficult to make sense of everything being carried, especially when expectations continue to pile up. Anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, or significant life changes such as shifts in relationships, work, identity, or relocating can quietly add to this sense of strain. What is often needed is a space to slow down, speak openly, and feel understood without judgement, alongside support that helps bring clarity, steadiness, and a clearer way forward.

Life is tough, sometimes very tough. Us, as human beings often forget to take care of the most basic of our needs in favor of immediate responsibilities and often put off the things that fuel us - when our fuel runs out, we are left with the wreckage and very little motivation to pick up those pieces. The healing journey offers a space to recuperate and learn to know and love ourselves again and to remember that sometimes its okay to not be okay. I journey with those who come see me, and noting is more beautiful and rewarding for to see someone transform their lives into something they have always wanted.

I offer counselling and therapeutic life coaching. Clients will come to me with a range of problems and often feel some confusion. In our work we will clarify the problem and see what is most challenging for you at the present time. We will discover where this confusion arises in the body and mind and be able to see what started it. Perhaps this has been triggered in the past: by an environment, people, a person, upbringing etc. The work we do is non-judgemental and my purpose is to help you find your way out of the confusion and suffering, so you can find success, purpose and meaning in your life. I will be with you all the way

I work psychodynamically and offering a safe, containing, and non-judgmental therapeutic space. My approach is grounded in curiosity about the inner world, unconscious patterns, and relational experiences that shape how clients understand themselves and engage with others. I also integrate mindfulness and meditation where appropriate to support emotional regulation and reflective capacity.

At times we may feel stuck or overwhelmed. We may know what is causing unease or pain, but often we struggle to understand the cause. A therapy relationship at these times, can bring better understanding and help you think in new ways about yourself, your relationships and your journey forward.

No problem or difficulty you are experiencing is too small or too big to work on with me in your counselling sessions. Talking about it in a safe, confidential and non-judgement space helps. While the past is important, life is about the present. Gestalt work emphasises what happens in the present moment and what this might mean for you. I work holistically to help you raise your awareness about yourself. This takes into account the mind, body and spirit as well as the context of your life. I work in person, online and in the outdoors on request.

I work with adults and couples, with a particular focus on the nervous system.
Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain. Often, these experiences are not signs of weakness, but reflections of a nervous system that has been under strain for a long time.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, grieving, emotionally exhausted, or simply unsure why life feels harder than it should. Many of the people I work with appear strong on the outside while quietly carrying the weight of difficult experiences, ongoing stress, or challenges they no longer know how to navigate alone.
Together, we explore the connection between your past experiences, current struggles, and future choices, helping you better understand what you’re experiencing and identify a way forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.

Are you at a stage in your life where you feel like you are stuck in a rut, or tired of self-sabotaging your own happiness and success, or tired of being tired? Feeling overly anxious all the time, depressed and disconnected, yet still showing up to all your responsibilities?
This is where I can help! I work therapeutically with high strivers who feel like they have become disconnected from themselves, others, and their internal drive. What used to help them cope in the past, no longer works. I combine methods strategically and practically, but all with an underpinning in philosophy and neuroscience.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
