Jackie Murphy

I offer remote sessions through online video or telephone calls.

Monday to Friday between 7am and 7pm.  

A very warm welcome from me to you…

What a daunting and confusing experience it can be reaching out for support. And yet here you are taking a step towards giving yourself what you need.

I'm Jackie and I’d love to offer you a warm, gentle, accepting space that is anchored in a genuine and human connection. I believe people deserve to be

seen for who they are,

to be truly heard and understood and

to be witnessed in their own unique experience of life.

Through gentle curiosity and compassionate enquiry I’ll be along side you as we navigate what’s led you to therapy at a pace that’s supportive and holding of you and your experience.

Person centred therapy provides the conditions within the relationship that will allow and support you to listen to yourself and find your own answers. And from this you learn to trust your own inner wisdom. This may support you to empower yourself into a deeper and more trusting relationship with yourself. It’s a reminder, that you are the expert of yourself and I am here to support you in discovering/rediscovering your own power, wisdom and truth.

I respect your autonomy to lead the way in exploring your unique individual experience of your reality. Different people have different needs and in your therapeutic space we can explore what’s most important to you through a mixture

• Talking,
• Creative methods such as doodling, drawing, painting, photographs, writing
• Somatic movement, breath, exploration
• Self-compassion which is radical loving kindness towards yourself
• Mindfulness, breathing and grounding techniques.

All of which can support you to reach deeper insights into your inner world/experiencing.

This is not a one size fits all approach and my intention is to co-create a therapeutic relationship and space that is in service of your unique journey.

My practice is culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive, neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences.

I work with individuals aged 18 and over, online and telephone.

Some people find that the consistency of a regular, weekly appointment works well for them. However, I can also offer a more flexible approach to suit those whose schedules are less predictable. Please get in touch and I'd be happy to discuss this further.

I work both short-term and long-term, with a variety of issues and concerns.
