Jacqueline Barnett

I work Mondays to Saturdays in a welcoming and confidential therapy room.

Hello, I'm a BACP accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor who is passionate about helping children, young people and adults feel heard and validated, to authentically know how they feel about things currently challenging them and to make any necessary changes. I incorporate trauma focused protocols, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and Children's Accelerated Trauma Technique (CATT) and have a focus on working with anxiety, OCD, phobias and panic attacks and relationship trauma. 

I'm authentically warm and empathic in my approach, experienced in working with family, school or work stress, depression, bereavement or traumatic events. This list isn't exhaustive however as people attend counselling for many reasons and nothing is too minor to talk about. I'm respectful of individual needs and offer the opportunity to talk without fear of judgement.

Initially I offer a free, confidential chat on the phone for you to see how it feels to talk to me. At a first session we'll complete an assessment to know your goals for therapy and things I need to be aware of for safeguarding purposes. The decision of when to end therapy rests with clients and I offer both short or long term counselling.
