About me

Hello, I'm Jade. By looking at my profile you have already taken a huge step. I understand that life's challenges can be difficult to navigate, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward, but you don't have to struggle alone. Together, we can untangle what’s weighing you down and navigate the challenges you’re experiencing, helping you to find clarity, relief, and a clearer path forward.

As a therapist, I focus on building a real connection with you, offering a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I help individuals who are facing all sorts of difficulties and challenges. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, stress, family issues, loss, trauma, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck. I’m here to help you make sense of it all. No issue is too big, too small, or too complex.  

I also support clients in navigating the lasting impact of trauma. When trauma isn’t resolved, its emotional, psychological, and physical effects can linger, shaping how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others. I recognise that trauma is not only an emotional experience but can also be deeply held within the body, manifesting as distress, physical tension, or a sense of disconnection. I address this in my work and provide a supportive space to explore your experiences helping you to process and release what’s been held within. 

It is important you find a counsellor you feel comfortable with. Contact me for an initial 15 minute session (no charge). Together, we can break things down, explore whats going on for you, and find a way forward. Let’s take the next step together. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I’m a qualified and insured Person Centred counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have held counselling roles at 5th Avenue Counselling and Headstrong Counselling. I now run my private practice Jade Counselling. 

I have additional training in trauma informed practice and have experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns. 

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.

Further information

I work with individuals on a short or longer-term basis and offer either face-to-face, online or telephone sessions to suit your needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility, convenience, and accessibility. It can save time, eliminate travel, and provide a sense of ease, particularly if attending in person feels daunting. In my experience, working remotely is highly effective.

If you’d like a calm, dedicated space, I provide face-to-face sessions from a comfortable and confidential therapy room at Wheathampstead Wellbeing, Hertfordshire, just a few miles from St Albans. 

Local parking is available.
