Catrine Darriet-Jones

I am a qualified, experienced and compassionate psychotherapist working online in the Winchester area.
My personal working approach is always to see you, hear you, understand you and support you, in complete confidence and in a non-judgmental way.
Your therapy with me is your safe place.

Perhaps you do not know where to start but you do know that sometimes life can get complicated and challenging. Do you recognise some of the following feelings?

• I keep getting into the same difficulties in my relationships
• I have doubts about my current relationship
• My relationship is over
• I have lost my self-confidence and motivation
• I feel strong emotions that I cannot manage
• There are some painful things in my past or my present that I would like to talk about, but I am afraid and ashamed. I don't want to be disbelieved, judged, ridiculed, labelled or dismissed
• Everything is scary
• I have lost someone 
• I feel overwhelmed by my life or work responsibilities
• I feel nothing
• I am experiencing difficulties with food and/or my self-image
• I can’t seem to get on with people
• I feel angry most of the time
• I want to change something that is not working for me, but I don't know how to go about it
• I have a big decision to make and I don't know where to start
• I feel something is wrong yet I can't open up to friends or family for fear of burdening them with my 'stuff' or upsetting them

As a professional therapist I can help you understand what is happening to you and why it is happening now.  Our work together will enable you to implement lasting changes in how you experience the world and how you relate to yourself and others. You will learn to recognise your negative behaviour patterns and begin to experience a more positive, confident and resilient attitude to life.

My experience includes working with adults and young adults living with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, panic, bereavement, loss and stress, lack of motivation or direction in life, lack of self-awareness, painful memories, shame and guilt; people living with terminal illnesses and the impact on their families; parents and young people with family issues; workplace, career and relationship issues; divorce and separation; food and self-image issues; retirement issues; survivors of sexual violence and abuse; people facing difficult life choices.

My therapeutic experience includes universities counselling services, NHS cancer units and medical practices, as well as charities and local council-aided establishments and refugees support. I also work online in private practice.

I work mainly with Transactional Analysis, which is a theory of personality and a communication tool that implements simple, positive and rapid changes. I also use CBT and other modalities, depending on your needs and goals.

Reiki Master and mindfulness practitioner.

Therapy sessions  50mn at £60

Concession therapy sessions are available for Students and Seniors (60+)

Longer sessions are available pro rata.

Initial assessments  30mn for £35. This optional no-commitment session is for you to outline your issues and help you decide whether you are comfortable for us to work together.

Payment by BACS only is due 24 hours before the session. I regret that cheques are not accepted.

Cancellations on the day are due in full unless we can re-book within 2 working days.

The number of sessions can vary, from short therapy over a few sessions to longer therapy lasting months. You may get the clarity you need on an issue in one session, or you may need more time. It is your therapy and you know how you feel around it.

If this appropriate for you we will ‘contract’ on what you want to achieve, and we will check regularly that we are still on tracks.

Online video sessions only, using Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger.
