Jackie Kent FaD, MBACP

I am a counsellor/counselling supervisor currently located in venues in the SR2 and SR4 areas of Sunderland. Although I base my work on the Person Centred model of counselling, I also use a pluralist approach as a means of tailoring support needs.

I offer a non-clinical, non-judgemental, safe, confidential and empathic environment. I offer support to those struggling with most issues that life has a habit of throwing at us. Some of my specialist areas are: life changing events, life changing health conditions/disabilities, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, financial or work place related pressures, trauma, bereavement and loss, isolation and loneliness.

I have been practising as a counsellor for over nine years. I am severely sight impaired and have myself faced and overcome many challenges. This has enabled me to gain more understanding and empathy for the changes, adjustments and challenges of others. Whether you are looking for long or short term support or simply an ad hoc , one off, de-briefing session. I can offer face to face, telephone or digital support. This can be discussed and agreed to on your initial enquiry. As a qualified counselling/clinical supervisor for over six years, I can offer quality support to supervisee's in a safe, confidential, empathic and supportive environment.

Accommodating working practise times. I take regular supervision to ensure I am working to a safe and effective standard. I am a registered member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I ensure I participate in regular professional development (CPD) in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
