Jill Cassidy

I am currently working online.  I can be flexible with work hours but predominently have space on a thursday and friday.

I am currently working online or by phone.

I work with clients looking to process difficulties in their lives, whether recent or historical. It takes courage to admit that you're stuck or that events are affecting your life, and I will work with you to find the best ways to get you unstuck, or allow you to process traumas.

I have a Diploma in Adlerian Counselling, which means I recognise that encouragement and support are at the heart of making lasting change. I can also help you look back at past experiences to enable understanding and growth, instead of being held back.

I regularly work with trauma and PTSD,  allowing clients to process the most difficult moments in their lives. I will work with you to explore strategies to help you regulate your emotions so you can process and move on from these traumas. I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Traumatology and PTSD and can work with a range evidence-based of trauma processes, including:

• STAIR 

• Cognitive Processing Therapy

• Imagery Rescripting & Reprocessing Therapy 

• Prolonged Exposure Therapy 

In addition I offer

• Exposure, Relaxation & Rescripting Therapy 

• Brainspotting

I provide a confidential, non-judgemental, encouraging space to talk and work together. I have a background in consultancy and support services and have volunteered in crisis support.

I work with clients seeking support with a wide range of issues, including Addiction, Anxiety, Childhood trauma, Disability, Dissociation, Family issues, Low confidence and Low Self esteem, Menopause, Neurodivergence (ASD and ADHD), OCD, Personal Development, PTSD and complex PTSD, Relationship issues, Sexual assault, Stress, Suicidal ideation, Transgender issues, Trauma.

To get started .. please email me or text me for a free initial 30 minute consultation. I'll be happy to answer any questions and discuss what you need from counselling.

I work online or by phone. I've been working online since Covid and continue to find it an effective and flexible way to engage with clients and help them work through their issues.

I offer a free 30minute initial discussion to enable you to discuss what your need from counselling and explore if we're a good fit to work together. From here, we will establish how we will work together, from frequency of sessions to focus of sessions, including any techniques we may use.

Understanding and Encouragement are at the heart of my approach, I'm here to support you on your journey.

Our First session will be getting to know what you want from counselling and identifying the presenting issues that you want to work on. You can ask any questions and together we can map out a way forward. I may afterwards ask you to complete some questionnaires to gather background information and establish how you are affected by Anxiety, Depression and health issues. If appropriate I will also for assess symptoms of PTSD or CPTSD. Mainly we will start to explore what will work for you.
