About me

How Counselling Might Help
Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether through fear of what we cannot reach, burnout, unexpected changes or a sense of being stuck that we can't quite put a finger on. You might notice patterns that keep repeating, emotions that feel too big or out of reach, or a quiet longing for things to feel different.

Counselling offers a safe, confidential space to slow down, reflect, and begin to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. Through gentle exploration, therapy can help you:

Make sense of your thoughts and emotions
Develop greater self-understanding and compassion
Strengthen your confidence and sense of self
Improve relationships and communication
Find ways to manage anxiety, frustration, or overwhelm
Reconnect with what feels meaningful and authentic to you
You don’t need to know exactly where to start. We can find that together.

 
What to Expect With Me
Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, so I aim to create a calm and supportive space where you can be fully yourself. I bring warmth, honesty, and curiosity to our sessions, and I’ll always move at your pace.

Together, we’ll explore not only the challenges you’re facing but also your strengths, values, and hopes for the future. My intention is that you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and supported as you grow at your own pace and in your own time.

About Me

My approach is humanistic & integrative, which means I bring together different ways of working to suit your individual needs, on what you need support with.

Together, we will explore not only the difficulties you may be facing, but also your strengths, values and hopes for the future, so that you feel supported as you grow and make changes in your own way and at your own pace.

I am an open, intuitive, and creative person. One of my greatest passions is understanding the human experience.

I also have lived experience as a late-diagnosed neurodivergent therapist, and my practice is an inclusive space.

I aim to offer a safe space for all, with a particular understanding of neurodivergent clients, including those with ADHD and autism, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. 

I welcome every client without judgment and with humility, honesty and genuine care.

Getting Started
Whether you are familiar with therapy or not, I aim to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your journey towards growth and well-being.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation, online or in person, to see whether we might be a good fit.


Ongoing sessions are £50 and available in person or online, on an ongoing basis that suits you, offering steady support as you move toward greater clarity, connection, and well-being.

You can find out more about me on my website www.bloom-counselling.org.uk.

Please get in touch by email to jade@bloom-counselling.org.uk or by leaving a message or texting me on 07359 514589.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation in person or online. Sessions from then on are £50 per session, and I offer mid to long-term work in person or online.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained at the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute (SPTI) and achieved a 1st Class Honours, BSc degree in Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapy.

I am a BACP-registered psychotherapist with several years of experience working with adults with a range of complex needs from a highly relational and trauma-informed perspective.  I specialise in working with neurodivergent clients, including ADHD and autism.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
