Jan Slater

I practice in London Harley Street, The Cotswolds and Worldwide, as an experienced counselling professional  and personal development coach. When you enter in to the therapy process  with me, I will offer you a very safe, non judgemental and confidential therapeutic relationship in which you can explore any personal, professional or difficult issues that may be causing you frustration or distress.

Sometimes the thought of contacting a therapist can be very nerve racking; most people are a little anxious and find it difficult to make the first call or send an email, but let me assure you there is no need to be anxious, you will receive a very warm and caring response from me.

TESTIMONIAL
For many years I have suffered with negative thought patterns together with crippling Health Anxiety. Despite visiting therapists for help I have not succeeded in changing the way I have felt about these issues - until now! Jan has provided me with  positive coping strategies to challenge the way I feel and think about my problems. Jan has a kind, caring and professional manner. From our very first meeting I felt completely understood and was made to feel comfortable and at ease. I am so grateful for the help and support that she has afforded me and would not hesitate to recommend her if appropriate. July 2013 (name supplied).

Asperger Syndrome

I have a special interest in Asperger syndrome, and have worked successfully with many clients to help and support them.

Testimonials

‘I am an adult with (recently diagnosed) Aspergers, and secondary mental health problems. Having spent a long time searching for someone in the Cheltenham area with knowledge and training to be able to help with learning how best to deal with Asperger’s and its consequences, I can happily and confidently say that Jan is indeed that right person who knows the way to help with specific Asperger’s oriented needs. She has helped me a lot, and has a great sense of humour too!   David Pearce ( musician)

Couple Testimonial 2014 (Aspergers)

“We started seeing Jan around a year ago after my husband was diagnosed with Aspergers.  The last year has been a revelation.  Jan has helped both of us to learn more about the condition and we have been able to apply this successfully to understand each other better and drastically improve family life.  There was no support from the NHS after the diagnosis (not even a leaflet!) and I’m so glad we did some research of our own to find Jan.  She has armed us with useful strategies relevant to our individual circumstances to help family life run smoothly again.  I can’t recommend her highly enough”

TESTIMONIALS'

I was almost a prisoner in my own body. Plagued by my obsessive compulsive thoughts and constant fears; I was not wanting to go on any longer. I had been in counselling before but it had not stopped me carrying out my daily rituals and sometimes I would have to return to my house to check everything was in order again and again. It ruined my marriage and my self esteem was on the floor. Jan helped me in a way that transformed my life. I was able to tell her the absolute truth about my obsessive habits and thoughts. She put me at ease, never judged or made me feel in the least bit awkward no matter what I told her.She helped me train my thinking and encouraged me to believe I could make changes. It has changed my life. Mrs B................................

Thank you for your support and professionalism during my recent counselling meetings. There were a number of things that just needed to be talked through, and exploring them with you has helped me understand a lot more about my childhood and how the family dynamic has affected my later life. I hope this knowledge and your advice about coping strategies will help with any future experiences of anxiety I may have (though, of course I hope there aren't any!).

Many thanks again for your help and understanding.
