Janet Gaynor

I  am available on Mondays throughout the day and Thursday evenings.

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered Social Worker. My counselling practice is grounded in the Person-Centred approach, which means that I place the client, their experience, and their own process of growth at the heart of the therapeutic work. I work with adults who may be experiencing bereavement, anxiety, childhood trauma, loss, emotional distress, or difficulties connected to relationships, identity, issues of spirituality and faith, family, or past experiences. I recognise that people often come to counselling at a point where something feels too heavy to carry alone, or where they need a safe and respectful space.

Alongside my counselling training, my background as a Social Worker informs the way I understand people’s lives. I am aware that emotional distress does not happen in isolation. It can be shaped by family history, trauma, loss, social pressures, relationships, safeguarding concerns, culture, faith, and the wider circumstances people find themselves living wi

I offer counselling online, in person, and, where appropriate, through walking therapy. Walking therapy can be helpful for people who feel more able to reflect and talk while being outdoors, or who find that movement and natural surroundings support the therapeutic process. You are welcome to contact me if you believe that we may be able to work together.

I offer therapy on the telephone, on Microsoft Teams however my preference is face to face. I am available all day Monday and Thursday evening.
