Jackie Chester

My availability varies, I can offer flexible days and times and will always try to accommodate my client to suit their needs.

I offer some weekend and evening therapy sessions and do have availability at this time for new clients.

I tend to work with each client as an individual, what you as a client bring to the sessions and the impact your issues have on you is very personal and cannot be a one size fits all.

I use a person centred approach and can offer session by session appointments or can contract with you for a minimum number of sessions dependant on your preference.

Ideally therapy should entail a session every seven to ten days to keep continuity and focus.

Working with a person centred approach I will always try to understand the impact your issues are having on you and help you to look at changes/solutions that will work for you.

This sometimes means looking not just at the presenting problem but going into possible issues from your past that might be impacting on you today.

I offer a confidential, respectful and non judgemental environment that can allow you the space to explore what you feel you are struggling with in your life,  

During our first session I will take some personal information like your GP details, your name and date of birth but I can ensure you that these are kept in strictest confidence.

The first session is to get to know more about each other, and for me to get an understanding of what is troubling you and what you want to work on.
