Jacqueline Avanzato

I have availability between 8am and 7pm each Thursday and 8am till 12 on Fridays. This can change each week so do get in touch for current spaces.

It’s not always easy to contact me by phone straight away. Please send an email (avanzatocounselling@btinternet.com) and I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you. 

WHY ME....? Most profiles correctly tell you they will provide a safe place to work through things that are on your mind. What I also bring is a unique mix of outlook, training and experience drawn from different theories and techniques that will be tailored to meet your individual needs. You are in charge of goals and subject matter (as you are the expert on you!) and I am a curious professional bystander to help you notice, understand & manage what's going on. I encourage awareness and expression of the difficult stuff that might not often come up. I listen but I also ask a lot of questions.

How confident should you feel working with me? I never take for granted how much our work will require time, emotional and financial investment. In return, I offer you the highest standards of safety and competence demanded by my Accreditation and roles as Clinical Supervisor & Counsellor in a local NHS (Improved Access to Psychological Therapies) Unit.

WILL I 'GET' YOU? The things that make you uniquely you are understood to be important. Age, ethnicity, gender, socio economic background or physical abilities. My clients feel comfortable talking about identity, exploring and challenging how it has shaped them and the work we are undertaking.

I provide a safe, supportive space to help you navigate life’s challenges, manage stress, and foster personal growth. I’m committed to listening with empathy and guiding you toward positive change. Reach out today to start your journey

Regardless of if it is anxiety, depression or some other emotional unrest, starting with your goal, we notice thoughts and feelings to understand what going on for you and how your past shaped them.

Articulating feelings gives relief, meaning and, ultimately choice in how you move forward. I tailor my support according to what you want and also how you work best, such as creative work, psychoeducation or challenging those things that keep you stuck in unhelpful patterns.

I work in person and online. If you want to see me face to face, my clinic is a discreet, comfortable and calm oasis.

Sessions are £65 or £70 for sessions finishing after 7pm. 

Let's have a 5 minute chat to see if the basics (availability and so on) will work and then we will book a full assessment to see if we are a good match in terms of what you need and what I can offer....

SUPERVISORY TRAINING & EXPERIENCE...

I qualified as a Clinical Supervisor in 2020 at CPPD (UK) Ltd. My work meets you where you are in your personal professional journey, and seeks consider how all the different factors influencing your client work may be useful to reflect upon in our sessions.

I have been blessed to work with managers and supervisors that have been truly inspirational to me in my own work and development, influencing me enormously in the therapist I am today. This motivates me to try and pass on some of their knowledge, passion and wisdom to my supervisees whilst also continuing to learn from you too. 

MY THERAPY BACKGROUND

I am a BACP Accredited Humanistic Integrative Therapist & Supervisor with Person Centred/Psychodynamic focus. I integrate aspects of CBT, Gestalt, TA, IFS and many other modalities where training and experience suggests might be useful. I am also qualified as an NHS EFT-CfD therapist. I achieved my BACP Accreditation in 2019.

Working in the NHS I have had the opportunity to work alongside an unparalleled range of clients, presentations and professionals. Their gold standard of training, treatment and the most up to date thinking in mental health underpins what I offer to you. 

I am happy to meet you in person or online. Generally clients want 1 1/2 hours a fortnight but I am flexible to your needs. 

I provide regular clinical supervision to therapists of a similar theoretical training and practise. 

In addition (and also for those with a different theoretical background) I offer consultancy / supplementary supervision if you are looking for something extra. 

This includes accreditation, supporting non-UK therapists adjust to working here, career progression and so on. 

My style is collaborative within a strong ethical framework. I meet you at what ever stage of proficiency you find yourself, and like to reflect with you on all the different factors that impact your client work. 

I love working integratively, anchored to core person centred theory and utilising other ideas and tools that meet the unique needs of you and your clients. 

My supervisees like my safe practice and straight forward approach.

Once we know our diaries match we will have a session to see if I can offer what you need and we feel we are a good match. You are welcome to bring a client to see how things work.
