I work Monday to Thursday offering some evening appointments. I try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate your needs in regard to appointments. 

Have You... Reached that point in your life when you feel you might benefit from someone listening to what’s going on for you right now? Someone that’s impartial, someone with no agenda and who is there for you. If so, therapy or life coaching may be the answer. From time to time… We all reach a point in our lives when we feel we can’t cope, the road ahead doesn’t look so clear, our problems seem overwhelming, we've lost our MOJO and no one seems to understand and people just don’t have the time to listen...

In my private practice I work with Individuals, Couples, Adults and young people (15 years upwards). I offer weekday appointments, with some evenings subject to availability. I aim to offer an Initial Assessment appointment within 2 working days. What I offer… One to one Therapy (Short/Long Term) EMDR/Trauma Therapy, Couples, Life Coaching & Supervision

I’m Jules I offer a confidential, professional, friendly, compassionate and supportive therapy service for individuals and couples. Why is finding the right therapist for you very important…? Research shows that positive change happens when there is a good ‘match’ between the therapist and client. My approach is friendly, warm and non-judgmental.

I work from a small private clinic located in the heart of East Farleigh.  It is completely confidential and offers adequate parking. 

All first sessions or 'therapy assessments' as I like to call them, will last 90 minutes (the cost is the same as a regular session) the objective of this session is for me to find out a little more information about you, ensuring I can help you, or signpost you,  should I feel you need more specialist support.  It is also for both you and I, to see how the 'fit' is between us, do you feel comfortable working with me and vice versa.  This is very important as there needs to be a level of trust and you need to feel comfortable and safe to share whatever you want to bring, happy in the knowledge that I can fully support you.

I work as both a Humanistic BACP (Accred.) Therapist and Supervisor.  I find working at the 'coal face' dealing with clients in therapy and what they bring and keeping up to date with my CPD on new therapies and ideas greatly helps and supports my Supervision work. 

Currently, I  have between 8-10 supervisees that I see monthly or bi-monthly.  They range from trainees usually in their last year of college up to experienced Psychotherapist.  I work with both individuals and run groups supervision (when there are enough numbers)

I've been working as a Supervisor since 2014, when I qualified with a PG Dip in Supervision (BACP Accred).

Most of my Supervisees have been with me, for at least 2 years. 

I tend to use as a platform for my supervision the 'Proctor Model' which works on the 3 tenets of; Support, Education and Reflective practise.  Often my supervisees depending upon where they are are in their career, look for support with their Certificate of Proficiency and or their Accreditation.  

I work from a small private clinic located in the heart of East Farleigh.  it is completely confidential and offers adequate parking. 

Typically, our first session will be a 'getting to know each other session'. 

In my personal experience, it's been really important to find a supervisor that has 'a good fit' for me, hopefully, this will be a relationship that endures for many years. So I need to get a feel early on, if we speak the same therapy language, is there trust and do we share similar values? 

I encourage all my supervisees to bring not only their successes but also the more challenging aspects of their work,so we can work in a collegiate way, to find good solutions to whatever the client difficulties may be.

In addition at our first session, I will be ensuring that the Supervisee has adequate hours of Supervision for the work they complete, insurance and like myself, are happy to sign up to and adhere to the BACP Code of Ethics.

If following the first session success, we both feel comfortable,  I will then book in our next session and draw up our Supervisory contract and we will be able to 'crack on'.
