About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I’m Jeanette. I’m a BACP Registered Counsellor offering online counselling to adults and young people aged 16 and over.

I work with people who are navigating life transitions, change, loss, uncertainty or times when life no longer feels the way it did before. This might include changes in identity, relationships, work, health, family life, bereavement, menopause, disability, caring responsibilities, or simply feeling that you have reached a point where something needs space and attention.

My approach is person-centred, integrative and trauma-informed. I work in a warm, thoughtful and down-to-earth way. I believe you know your own life and experiences better than anyone, while recognising that it can still be difficult to make sense of everything alone. I draw on different ways of working depending on what feels useful to you, rather than expecting you to fit into one particular model of counselling.

Alongside talking about your experiences, we may notice patterns in your thoughts, emotions, relationships and the ways experiences show up in your body. I will listen carefully, ask questions and work with you to explore things that may be difficult to untangle on your own.

My work has involved providing counselling and therapeutic support to adults, children, young people and families within education, charitable and community settings. This has included extensive work alongside disabled and neurodivergent people, people living with long-term, complex or life-limiting health conditions, and people navigating significant changes, loss, bereavement and uncertainty in their lives.

Practice description

You may be going through a significant change, questioning who you are or finding it difficult to adjust to something that has happened. Changes in relationships, health, work, education, identity, family life or caring responsibilities can leave us feeling unsettled, overwhelmed or unsure how to find a way through. They can also bring a sense of loss — of a person, a relationship, a familiar role, confidence, independence or the future you had imagined.

Some changes happen suddenly, while others build gradually. You may have spent a long time coping, meeting other people’s needs or keeping things going before realising that you feel exhausted, burnt out or disconnected from yourself. Life stages such as becoming independent, changing career, menopause or taking on a caring role can also lead us to question who we are and what we need now.

You may know exactly what has brought you to counselling, or you may only know that something no longer feels right. You do not need to arrive with a clear explanation or set of goals. We can start with what is happening for you and work from there.

Identity and belonging are areas I am particularly interested in. This may include exploring sexuality, gender, relationships, neurodivergence, disability, health, family roles, or parts of yourself that may feel unseen or hard to explain.

As someone from the LGBTQ+ community myself, I know it can make a difference to talk with someone without having to explain that part of your life first. I aim to offer a respectful, affirming and thoughtful space where you can bring all parts of yourself at your own pace.

As part of my integrative approach, I may also use techniques from Split Second Unlearning (SSU). These can offer another way of noticing emotional responses, body cues, patterns or triggers that happen quickly and automatically, and bringing these into awareness within counselling. This would be woven into the work collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you.

My first session

Before beginning counselling, I offer a free introductory conversation of up to 20 minutes by telephone or Microsoft Teams.

This is not a counselling session, but an opportunity for you to tell me a little about what has brought you to counselling, ask any questions and get a sense of how I work. It also gives us both the chance to consider whether working together feels right. There is no obligation to arrange a session afterwards.

If we decide to work together, our first full session will last 50 minutes and will be charged at my usual session fee of £50. We will talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you would like support with and any practical arrangements. You do not need to complete a detailed assessment or arrive with clear goals; we can begin with whatever feels most important to you.

I will also explain confidentiality, how sessions work and the counselling agreement, and you will have space to ask anything you are unsure about.

What I can help with

Anxiety, Bereavement, Cancer, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Disability, Health related issues, Identity issues, LGBTQ+ counselling, Loss, Menopause, Neurodiversity, Pet bereavement, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Sensory impairment, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Stress, Women's issues, Work related issues

Types of therapy

Humanistic, Integrative, Person centred, Relational

Clients I work with

Adults, Older adults, Young people

How I deliver therapy
