Jeanette Barratt

In addition to sessions during the day I have availability for evening and weekend sessions.

Sessions are 50 minutes.

I'm Jeanette; I am a BACP registered  Integrative counsellor. I studied at the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute and hold a First Class BSc (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy

I have several years experience working in agencies providing counselling with a variety of issues such as anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, addiction, grief, relationship difficulties, post traumatic stress and sexuality issues.

There are many reasons for seeking therapy:

Grief/Loss

We may have experienced adverse childhood experiences.

Stress, anxiety or depression.

Relationship difficulties.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed and not able to see a way forward.

Life's transitions (e.g. employment issues, divorce, illness, becoming a parent/carer, children leaving home, relationships).

Experiencing a spiritual or existential crisis.

We need to be heard and tell our story.

We need to explore and understand our feelings and behaviour.

I offer a free no obligation 15 minute telephone consultation. This enables us to see how I may be of service to you and to set up our first session.

I will take a brief history and outline of your problems that has brought you to counselling.

Call me for a free consultation.

I work holistically with a person rather than any diagnosis or label.

I am a caring, compassionate listener and I will endeavour to work deeply to understand you without judgment; in turn helping you to explore, identify, and understand your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences.

When we understand our feelings and behaviours we may discover ways to move forward.​

My approach is to work in collaboration with you; as you are the expert in your life. With support you may find the solutions that feel right for you.

Counselling can be a life changing experience; our struggles and present feelings can become a turning point towards a new direction.​

Call me for a free consultation.

​

The first session will be a further opportunity to agree on what to work on together and how long that work maybe for. It could be for a limited amount of sessions or an open-ended contract for longer term psychotherapeutic work.

We will go over our 'therapeutic contract'. How it outlines the terms of confidentiality and its exceptions, duration and length of sessions, cancellation, supervision, fees etc.
