Jessie Staples

Welcome. Finding the right therapist can be a challenging process, but it’s essential to find someone who you connect with and trust. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where my role would be to help you explore your abilities and strengths, enabling you to navigate whatever issues you face, develop a deeper understanding of yourself and in relation to others which can enhance your overall sense of wellbeing.

Being an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs. I believe that there is no single approach that works for everyone, as each person’s circumstances and experiences are unique. By combining elements from different modalities, I am able to create a flexible, personalised approach that supports you in exploring and coping with a wide range of issues.

I have experience in working with diverse communities and welcome individuals from all cultural backgrounds and faiths. I approach therapy with an informed perspective on the impact of systems of oppression, such as racism, sexism, and ableism. 

My person-centred approach will always prioritise you as the focus of our therapy, working at your pace. Your needs will be valued and nurtured throughout whilst building our relationship.  Once trust is established, we may explore your personal history, any repressed memories and behavioural patterns. This exploration can bring thoughts and feelings into your conscious awareness, which is often the first step toward change whilst providing you with sustainable tools and techniques to cope.

I offer a free telephone consultation where we will explore your reasons for seeking therapy and whether what I offer fits with your needs. The next stage will be for us to meet online or in person to explore further.
