About me
Do you want to gain insight into yourself, your patterns and your relationships? Develop greater self awareness, enhance your self esteem, and discover your strengths and values? Or as a means of personal growth and self exploration?
I offer a safe, non judgemental space where you can speak openly and honestly, without feeling criticised or dismissed. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are used to coping well on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or under pressure internally.
In our sessions, we take time to explore what may be shaping your thoughts, emotions, and patterns — whether that’s current stress, past experiences, family expectations, or self doubt. Being truly heard and understood can create the safety needed to look at difficult feelings with greater clarity and self compassion.
My approach is grounded in empathy, warmth, and curiosity. I aim to help you develop deeper self awareness, process emotions at your own pace, and build a stronger, more secure sense of self.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you — it’s about making sense of your experiences so you can move forward with greater confidence and resilience.
My clients come from a range of backgrounds, but many are looking for the same thing: a sense of peace, greater self acceptance, and a trusted, qualified professional to sit alongside them while they make sense of their world.
I offer a thoughtful, non judgemental space where we can explore your experiences from your perspective. My role is not to impose an agenda, but to understand how life feels to you and to work at a pace that feels manageable and safe.
Many of the people I work with are new to counselling. Creating a sense of safety and security is therefore central to my approach. I do this through consistency, care, and genuine curiosity about who you are and what has shaped you. Together, we may look at your current challenges as well as past experiences, helping you see patterns or perspectives that might not have been visible before.
For some clients, therapy is the first time they have spoken openly about their feelings. That can feel daunting, but it can also be deeply relieving. I feel privileged to support people as they begin to understand themselves more fully and move toward meaningful change.
"Beginning therapy with Jane was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I was dealing with anxiety stemming from past bereavements, and over the course of my sessions, Jane and I built an open, trusting relationship where I was able to communicate my feelings in a safe, judgement-free environment. Jane helped me to process suppressed emotions, build my self-esteem and construct healthy habits to take forward. I highly recommend anyone seeking therapy to reach out to Jane - I know I will be in the future if the need arises again. The difference in my mental health has been incredible, and I have Jane to thank."
You are unique so our work will reflect that, but I hope this gives you a little glimpse into what we could achieve - contact me for a free 15 -30 minute telephone consultation and we can start making those changes.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully insured qualified counsellor experienced in working with a range of clients, which includes feelings of low self worth, anxiety and depression, burn out and exploring the challenges of neurodiversity.
I work within an integrative humanistic framework. This means that I tailor the work to your needs.
I draw on a range of different approaches and philosophies, however I think Eastern and Western philosophies both have a part to play in healing our mind, body and soul.
Working with how the body stores and processes emotions may also be something that you would like to explore.
I also support University students as a Specialist Mental Health Mentor.
My previous experience has included volunteering on a Women's helpline and supporting women who were navigating the Criminal Justice system.
I worked for over a decade alongside the charity sector so have a good understanding of the difficulties faced by people accessing support from homeless charities, social injustice organisations, and a wide range of medical charities, giving me valuable insight and knowledge.
I find that transitions are a theme in my work whether it be navigating university challenges, difficult relationships or feeling like you have hit rock bottom.
My own experiences as an intercountry interracial adoptee and many years of working alongside the charity sector have enabled me to understand that challenges also come from outside forces, oppression, injustice and marginalisation, whether this be racism, homophobia, transphobia. ableism or abuse.
I have taken time to explore my own identity and I have a wealth of experiences from my life that contribute to having deep empathy for others.
