Jeannette Bayliss

My private practice days are Monday (evening) and Thursday (daytime). 

I am available for online or in-person sessions. 

I am a highly experienced counsellor / psychotherapist, I'm able to deal with difficult emotions, I listen deeply, and can help unpick complex issues.

As a psychodynamic therapist I am interested in past experiences and unconscious processes - I believe they have a big impact on how well we function, how we feel, and how we treat ourselves and others. 

I work with adults and have specific expertise in working with young adults and people in higher education, but my clients come from all walks of life and are at different stages in life. 

I provide a confidential, calm and supportive space to reflect and think together. Different people need different things from therapy, so there is no manual and there is no one-size-fits-all, we'll together look at what's going on in your life, what's weighing on you, and can see what might be helpful. For some that is personal growth facilitated within a therapeutic relationship, for others it's concrete steps they need to clarify and find the confidence to take. I know from experience that there is benefit in this process but I appreciate that it is a bit of a leap of faith because there is no guaranteed outcome.

What I can promise is that from the moment you make contact I will treat your concerns with empathy and respect for your individual background and situation.

I’m happy to have a quick no-obligation chat with anyone considering therapy. That initial 10-20 min call is free. Send me an email and I’ll get back as soon as I can. We can talk about what you want from counselling/therapy and clarify practicalities. 

Essentially, you'll have to meet for a session with me (or any therapist you are considering for that matter) in oder to decide whether I'm the right person and my approach works for you. Either at the end of or after the first session we both decide whether we can work together in a way that's helpful to you. 

The way I conduct the first session doesn't significantly differ from any other session, but it is often a really impactful experience.

I look forward to hearing from you!
