Jill Goodhew BA(Hons) MBACP(Accred)

Profile

Jill Goodhew is a qualified and experienced therapist working in private practice in Poole. Some of the issues she works with are depression, anxiety and stress, bereavement, low self-esteem, low self-confidence and self-belief, disordered eating (eating disorders), relationship issues both personal (including intimate relationships, family dynamics, social relationships, couples counselling) and professional relationships including work related issues, sexuality, identity, abuse both emotional and physical and child related issues.

She works with individuals including adolescents and couples. Her practice offers a safe, peaceful and confidential environment to work together. Please look at her website for more information or call to talk about what you would like and what you need from therapy.

One of the main reasons Jill wanted to train as a therapist in 1994 was because she wanted to find out how she could be with another human being on their journey in a way which might make a difference for them. Having experienced this herself through her own personal therapy, she realised that this process has so much to offer most people and this encouraged her to learn about the process.

You may be looking for support in many other ways which are not necessarily given a specific name. As human beings, we can get to a place in our lives where we would like to talk to someone who is not in our family or amongst our friends, just to be able to talk something over without anyone else giving us advice or their opinions. Therapy offers a confidential, safe space for this to happen and can enable us to work through the issue in our own time and empower us to make the changes we need to achieve a successful outcome.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Fees

Jill offers a free 30 minute initial consultation. Her fee structure for subsequent sessions is from £40 to £75. Please mention Counselling Directory when you call or email. Thank you.

Further Information

Jill also offers Professional Coaching. These sessions can help with making choices and decisions about work and jobs as well as personal life and how decisions made at work can impact personal life and living. It can be helpful to talk these issues through with someone outside work and private life. Whereas psychotherapy is often long-term and open-ended, coaching sessions work well when limited to six sessions. Please call to discuss these coaching sessions.
