About me

Hi, I’m Jane from JP Counselling.

As a counsellor with experience supporting people through stress, anxiety,trauma, emotional overwhelm, depression, and personal struggles. I am passionate about helping people feel heard, understood and accepted without judgement. I believe that every persons story matters and that counselling should feel personal, human, and supportive. 

I know reaching out for counselling can feel like a huge step. Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or simply feeling “not themselves” anymore. Sometimes life looks fine on the outside, but inside you may be carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or emotions that have built up quietly over time.

My aim is to offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe enough to just be yourself — without judgement, pressure, or expectations.

I believe counselling isn’t about “fixing” you, because you are not broken. It’s about helping you understand yourself more deeply, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been lost beneath stress, worry, trauma, or difficult life experiences.

My approach is gentle, compassionate, and empowering. I work alongside you at your pace, helping you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that feels manageable and supportive. Together, we can begin to untangle what’s been weighing you down and help you move towards feeling calmer, stronger, and more connected to yourself.

I know that no two people are the same, which is why I tailor counselling to your indidivual needs  rather than taking a "one size fits all approach". My aim is to help you feel supported valued and empowered to make sense of what you are oing through - one step at a time. 

I support people with:

Stress and burnout
Anxiety and overthinking

Depression/low mood

Trauma and difficult past experiences
Low self-esteem and self-worth
Emotional overwhelm
Relationship difficulties
Understanding themselves on a deeper level

I also understand that opening up can feel uncomfortable at first. You don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly what to say. Sometimes counselling simply starts with, “I’m struggling,” and that is enough.

Above all, I want you to feel heard, valued, and supported. Counselling is your space — a place where you can pause, reflect, heal, and grow in a way that feels right for you.

You don’t have to carry everything on your own.

Working together – Changing your future

Gaining understanding and a different perspective on your life can guide the way to transformation, changing your future.  By talking through what’s going on for you it can help you understand why you feel the way you do, how the past experiences may still be affecting you and what you need to feel more grounded and secure.

Together we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface, helping you make sense of your feelings, your experiences and the patterns that keep repeating.

Let’s imagine your life the way you want, together, carve out a new way forward towards the life you want. I will walk this journey with you, accepting you as you are right now and help you start the process of accepting you.

If any of this is resonating with you, remember you don't have to face it alone. Get in touch when you are ready and we can go from there, together.

Additional information

Take the Time to Find a Good Match

I know it takes a lot of courage to walk into a counselling room, I will strive to create a confidential and safe place where you will feel comfortable sharing your hurts and difficulties. I appreciate, it's hard to be vulnerable in front of a new counsellor, I will be compassionate, encouraging and empathic as I help you find the words to what you are facing so we can get to the heart of your issue.

There may be some fears, there may be some tears, but it will be ok for us to laugh together if it feels right too. 

Lets Talk 

I invite you to have a 15 minutes talk on the phone or video call - free of charge - before arranging our first session together.
