About me

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years of experience working in a variety of settings, including the N.H.S and private practice. My understanding over the many years I have worked in the counselling profession is that each one of us is unique. We are shaped by our experiences, our relationships and the way we interpret what has happened to us. Finding equilibrium can be difficult and our emotions can sometimes overwhelm us. I personally suffered post-natal depression in 1982 and did not know at the time how to get help.

I value our differences and my approach offers a warm, accepting, non-judgemental environment. I work with individuals, couples, families, groups and young people. I offer a combined approach including CBT, psychodynamic and relaxation techniques. I have published a book with Professor Jane Plant describing my own experiences called "Beating Stress, Anxiety and Depression" using my maiden name Janet Stephenson.

I have full professional indemnity insurance and abide by the British Psychological Society's Code of Practice. I am an Associate Fellow of the BPS and am 'Health Professions Council' registered.

Sessions are completely private and confidential.
