Jane Meares

I offer grief and trauma therapy to adults, either in person or online. Sessions are weekly and I work Monday to Friday 2pm - 9pm.

Do you put on a brave face but feel anxious, scared, overwhelmed or empty on the inside? Perhaps relationships are difficult or you react in ways you don't understand? I help people gently heal from the impact of childhood trauma, abuse, neglect or loss.

If you’re wondering when you’ll feel happy or hopeful again, or worrying about the future and fearing the worst, or being hard on yourself and always thinking it's your fault, I get it. 

Trying to keep up or fit in can be exhausting. Feeling lost or stuck can be scary and frustrating. Believing you're the problem or not good enough, can be isolating and depressing. 

Being able to speak freely and confidentially to someone unbiased, without fear of judgement or shame, can be a huge relief. To feel really seen and heard and accepted for who you are is liberating. 

I support adults living with stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, and low self esteem and can help with things like: 

• overthinking
• perfectionism
• social anxiety
  
• health anxiety
• panic attacks
• feeling sad or low
• up and down emotions
• self-harm and suicidal thoughts
• PTSD and Complex PTSD
• flashbacks and nightmares
• childhood sexual abuse
• emotional abuse

I also have experience working with neurodivergence and helping people navigate the impact of ADD/ADHD, autism, masking and burnout.

Our work together can help ease your pain and confusion, and support you to feel lighter, calmer and clearer, with more confidence and self-compassion to cope with daily life.  We will go at your pace and, whatever comes up, we can make sense of it together.

I enjoy using Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) in my practice as a compassionate and non-medical way to understand our individual parts, our internal battles, and our coping mechanisms.

I am passionate about reducing distress, healing from trauma, and encouraging you to believe it's ok to be you.

I draw upon my own lived experience to help others who are struggling with a sense of worry, loss, or worthlessness. I bring my warmth, compassion and intuition to build a genuine connection and a safe therapeutic relationship that is healing.

Counselling has helped me through some difficult times; I’m confident it can help you, too. Let's talk.

I know it can feel daunting, so I offer a free 15-minute introductory phone call or Zoom call to help you decide if you'd like us to work together. 

Drop me an email today to arrange a time for an informal chat, and we can take it from there. I look forward to hearing from you. Take care for now.
