Jack Parnell-Driver

Hi, I'm Jack. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.

I am  Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor and Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression Practitioner. 

My supervisory approach is grounded in my humanistic and person‑centred trainings, meaning I will meet you where you are in your professional journey. Together, we will create a safe, supportive supervisory space in which you can reflect on your client work, explore ethical questions or dilemmas, and prioritise your own wellbeing through restorative supervision. My aim is to offer a collaborative, attuned relationship that supports both your growth as a practitioner and your capacity to work sustainably and compassionately.

I am a counsellor currently working within the NHS, where I hold dual roles: one in an NHS Talking Therapies Service and another in a Staff Psychological Support Service. In these roles, I provide therapeutic support to individuals facing mental health challenges and offer psychological care to NHS staff navigating the stresses of their work.

Before stepping into my current positions, I worked as a counsellor in a hospice, providing emotional and bereavement support to individuals and families during end-of-life care. This experience deepened my understanding of grief, loss, and the profound emotional needs of patients and their loved ones during some of the most difficult times in their lives.

I also spent several years with a mental health charity, where I specialised in counselling the LGBTQIA+ community. During this time, I developed expertise in providing affirming and empathetic care to individuals navigating identity, coming out, discrimination, and mental health challenges within the LGBTQIA+ population.

Before transitioning into counselling, I worked for over 10 years in the charity sector with a leading young people's mental health organisation, where I gained extensive experience supporting young people and advocating for mental health awareness and wellbeing.

We can schedule a free 30 minute introductory session where we will have a chance for us to meeting and decide whether we want to proceed. The intro session may include getting to hear what your looking for in a supervisor and how we can make the most of our your supervisory sessions.
