Jayne Shirley-Smith

I work integratively, using a range of counselling theories which allow me to tailor the therapy to the client, and my approach to you will be based on your own unique presentation and personality. I do know how daunting it can seem, to try and find the right therapist to help you through the challenges you are facing. I can offer you a compassionate and non judgemental environment, and will always be open to how you are experiencing our time together.

My private practice is located within the Diana Marsh Clinic, in the quiet leafy town of Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire. The clinic is located next to the beautiful Lido Park, which is ideal for clients who prefer "walk and talk" therapy as an alternative to the counselling room. My therapy room is safe, comfortable and confidential, and I look forward to welcoming you to it.

Your first session with me will be an opportunity for us to talk about what has brought you to therapy, and how we can work together to help you in a way that works for you. Part of this conversation will involve me conducting a short assessment, in which I will ask you a few questions about your history, and also explain to you the terms of confidentiality I am able to offer you. This first session will, I hope, reassure you that you have taken the most important step of all, which is deciding to act with your own best interest at heart.
