About me
Whatever you're going through, I am here to listen, understand and support.
I offer counselling to both individuals and couples, creating a warm and welcoming space where you can feel safe and supported. Whether you’re coming to counselling with something specific you’d like to work through, or there’s something in your life you’d like to make sense of - we can work together to understand what’s happening and consider what support would be most helpful for you.
My approach is responsive and tailored to you. I work 'integratively' and draw on a broad range of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, which means I use a variety of counselling methods to ensure you are supported in the way that is most meaningful to you.
I also work in a neuro-affirming and inclusive way, recognising that people experience and make sense of the world differently. I work with many neurodivergent people who are exploring aspects of their neurodivergence, including experiences relating to ADHD and autism.
For couples, I offer a space where both partners can speak openly and honestly about the challenges they are facing. Whether you're dealing with communication difficulties, loss of trust, disconnection, financial stress or conflict, I offer both partners the space to express how they're feeling and ultimately support you both in finding a healthy path forward.
I understand that booking counselling can be overwhelming and anxiety-provoking. I can assure you that my approach is to offer you warmth and acceptance, and to support you fully throughout.
Recent client testimonials:
‘Booking in with Jan has been one of the best investments I have made in myself. Before starting with Jan, I felt like I wasn't where I should be in life, I was out of touch with my emotions with no real idea of who I was or what I was aiming for. With Jan's guidance, I have managed to identify the driving factors behind why I was doing what I was doing, and she gave me the tools to navigate and manage the issues that were affecting me. I highly recommend Jan if you are seeking counselling.’
"My experience with Jan has been outstanding. From the very first session, I felt genuinely listened to, supported, and understood. The safe and non-judgemental space created for me made it easy to open up and explore things I’d struggled to talk about before. The guidance, insight, and practical tools I received have made a real difference in how I manage my thoughts and emotions day to day. I’ve noticed a significant positive shift in my wellbeing and feel far more confident moving forward. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and professionalism shown throughout, and I truly couldn’t fault any part of the service.'

Training, qualifications & experience
COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate
Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
I am a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and am also registered with the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme through Disclosure Scotland. To keep my practice up to date and provide the best support possible, I regularly take part in professional supervision.
Member organisations
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
