Jane Dempsey - Integrative, Person-Centred & Transpersonal Therapist

WELCOME

I am an integrative therapist with over 20 years of experience. My practice combines person-centred, transpersonal, and creative therapies to help you find your unique path to healing. 

I believe you hold the innate strength to change. Together, we will explore your life story, your current challenges, and what you long for. I balance the creative connection of sound—such as talk, stories, and music—with the restorative power of silence and nature.

Because you are unique, our sessions will be tailored to you. Depending on what feels right, we may use:

- PERSON CENTRED TALK THERAPY : Putting your goals and feelings at the heart of our work.

- MINDFULNESS & MEDITATION : Using grounding techniques to help you find a calm, quiet space within.

- CREATIVE & EXPRESSIVE ARTS : Exploring emotions through art, myths, dreams, or music.

- SOMATIC AWARENESS : Tuning into how your body holds stress, trauma, or emotion.

Change begins when we feel completely safe. I provide a deeply empathetic, secure space where your quiet inner voice can finally begin to speak. My role is to nurture that voice and hold space for you with genuine compassion.

MY BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE

My journey into therapeutic work grew naturally from a lifelong passion for sound, silence, and human connection. For many years, I worked internationally as a freelance classical violinist after training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Later, exploring traditional folk music and improvisation opened up new ways to communicate, I saw first-hand how deeply we can heal when we share creative expression in a safe space.

Alongside music, I have spent decades practising stillness. I studied mindfulness and meditation directly with world-renowned spiritual teachers, including Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama, and I hold formal certifications in these practices.

This blend of sound and silence led me to train as a therapist. My foundational training includes: 

- Transpersonal Psychology (2 years with Barbara Somers and Ian Gordon-Brown at Centre for Transpersonal Psychology, London)

- Post Grad Diploma in Counselling (Bristol University)

- Diploma in Practical Spirituality and Wellness (with William Bloom)

I am committed to continuous learning to best support my clients. I recently completed training in Somatic Awareness with Dieter Rehberg and am currently refreshing my knowledge of the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music.

WHO I WORK WITH

Over the past two decades, I have worked within dedicated organisations such as Cruse Bereavement Support, Off the Record, the Terence Higgins Trust, and We Hear You.

I support adults navigating a wide range of life challenges, including:

- Anxiety and depression

- Trauma and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

- Bereavement, grief, and loss

- Chronic or life-limiting illness (including cancer and HIV/AIDS)

- Eating disorders

- Personal growth and supporting trainee therapists

 WORKING TOGETHER

Initially, I offer a free introductory telephone call so we can introduce ourselves. I invite you to share a bit of your story and any questions or hesitations you may have.

I am happy to answer your queries and share more information about my approach and the therapy process.

From there, we can look at the practical details of meeting, such as timings, dates, and how you prefer to work going forward.

SESSION LENGTH : Sessions last for 50 minutes.

CONSISTENCY : To provide you with consistent support, we will meet regularly at the same time, either weekly or fortnightly.
