Jamie Forster

Hi, thanks for stopping by and having a look.  My name is Jamie, I am an integrative therapist whose work is deeply rooted in the person-centred perspective. I endeavour to offer you an empathic and non-judgmental therapeutic experience, that is designed to make you feel accepted and safe to explore the furthest corners of your life. I do not focus on issues, I focus on people and truly believe that in the right environment anyone can gain a greater understanding of their self and facilitate the change they want to see in their own lives. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and my job is simply to support you during difficult times and together we can find the best way forward for you!

I received my postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology from Keele University.  Until recently, I have worked in a busy GP's surgery, and as a bereavement counsellor with the family support team at St. Luke's Hospice.  

However, now I am working as a private practitioner and enjoying the flexibility this gives me to pursue different avenues of therapeutic techniques and further learning.  I have acquired specialist training in fertility counselling  through the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA) and work as a consultant in a private fertility clinic.  I work with such issues such as gender difference, same sex family building, the implications of 3rd party donation, and fertility procedures such as IVF and IUI. 

Please don't hesitate it get in touch! I am always willing to have a non-obligatory chat and answer any questions that you may have about what counselling might look like for you.
