Jackie Thornton (MBACP)

About me
Hello and welcome to Elbow Room Therapy. My name is Jackie and I'm a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have a Diploma in Counselling Practice and I'm a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I'm committed to promoting ethical practice and I adhere to the BACP's EthicaI Framework.
I have worked within the caring professions for over 20 years and feel passionate about helping people to realise their 'life' potential and in doing so improve their overall well being, mental health and relationships. We sometimes struggle to break the cycle of unhealthy patterns and need help to understand what is going on, unravel it and find clarity. Making the decision to have counselling can be profoundly life changing and can help you to reconnect with yourself and others.
‘Nothing changes, if nothing changes…’
