Jac Battell
About me
I am Jac Battell, a qualified and accredited Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor working, face-face and remotely, in Belper, Derbyshire.
Life can be extraordinarily hard for all kinds of people, in all manner of ways. For some of us, the global effects of the covid-19 pandemic have added to our existing anxieties, grief, depressive feelings, or sense of futility. For others, the pandemic has created new, often existentialist, concerns.
Talking about and reflecting on your feelings, thoughts and behaviours in a safe therapeutic relationship, provides an opportunity to explore how you have survived/are surviving your difficulties. It also provides you with an opportunity to learn from them, so that you can live peacefully with yourself, and with others in your future.
My Humanistic Integrative approach is grounded in relational and developmental psychotherapeutic theories. I am committed to ongoing, regular, and extensive continuing personal and professional development.
I provide both time-limited counselling (6-12 weeks) and open-ended psychotherapy to adults and young people.
During your first, free, 30-45 minute initial consultation with me, we will explore what you want to achieve in your psychotherapy or counselling and what I can offer you. We will then decide whether we will be comfortable working together.
My ultimate endeavour is that you complete your therapy, or counselling, feeling free and able to live in ways which fulfil you and make you content and happy.
