Jillian Woodford

I am currently taking on new clients.  I have space for a few face-to-face sessions and more on line sessions.  Please get in touch for a free initial consultation to see if we can work together.

Welcome! I'm Jillian and I invite you to take a look at my website to find out a bit more about me and how I work at   https://heartofstillness.co.uk/

I invite you to meet with me in a safe and non-judgmental space where we can bring our tender attention to all aspects of your experiences. I approach our work from a gentle Person-Centred perspective that is influenced by my practice of Focusing. Focusing is a way of foregrounding the bodily and somatic felt sense in a contained way. Together we attend inwardly to your raw experience and enable safe processing and integration of any problematic experiencing. Please take a look at my website to find out more.  If this approach speaks to you, then let's chat and see how we might work together.

Finding a therapist that feels right for you is so important. For this reason, I invite you to an initial consultation that is completely free of charge. This gives us a chance to find out a bit about each other and helps you get a sense of whether I am the right kind of therapist for you. Email me and let's find a time to chat.

Welcome! I work with individual adults as well as couples, both on line and in person. I’m happy to have an initial chat with you free of charge to see if we might work together. I currently have some availability weekdays and evenings, mainly Monday through Wednesday. I’m able to offer a small number of concessionary places and there maybe a wait list for these. Drop me an email to jillian@heartofstillness.co.uk and let’s chat.

Life presents us all with challenges from time to time. Reaching out for support at such times and finding a therapist who feels right for you can be daunting. This is why I invite you to have an initial zoom consultation free of charge to help us get a sense of whether we would be a good match to work together. I aim to offer you a safe and welcoming space where we can sit together in stillness and bring our attention and tender curiosity to all aspects of your experiencing.   https://heartofstillness.co.uk

I work primarily from a person-centred approach that offers a profound commitment to respecting the individual, acknowledging and honouring moment-to-moment experiencing, and accessing and following your own inner truth.  

I also work from a Focusing-Oriented approach. The invitation here is to slow down and pay closer attention to your inner bodily experience. Research shows that this ability to attend inwardly is the most important element in effective therapy and moves us past what we already know about ourselves into new insight and discovery.

I have space for a new supervisee at present and we can work in person in Olney or Bozeat. Whether you are a trainee, newly qualified, or an experienced therapist, finding the right supervisor is really important. I’m happy to chat with you free of charge via Zoom so we can get a sense of whether we are a good match for working together. I offer day time and evening appointments and am mainly available Monday through Wednesday. Get in touch via email at jillian@heartof stillness.co.uk and let’s chat.

In keeping with my primary therapy qualification, I trained in and offer a Person-Centred Approach to supervision. This is founded on empathic listening and unconditional acceptance and aims to provide a space where we can explore and review your way of being with your clients and in the world. I believe the PCA has a unique potential to enrich our working relationships with self, within Supervision, and with our clients. It aims to stand back a little from client narrative in order to make more room for the multi-layered nature of process and relationship.

I welcome Supervisees from any theoretical orientation.  Whilst my main approach is Person-Centered, we can also explore the use of Focusing in Supervision. You can read a little more about this on my website if it is new to you. If Focusing is a practice that appeals to you, we can use specific exercises to facilitate a more felt exploration of your work. I find that a Focusing stance in Supervision places more emphasis on phenomenological exploration rather than on theory. It encourages us to stay close to our own and the client’s experience rather than interpreting, generalising, or depersonalizing with theory.
