About me
Hello, my name is Jane and I am a graduate of the The Family Institute, University of Glamorgan, holding a BSc Honours Degree in Counselling.
I am a very experienced Person Centred Counsellor. I am a naturally warm, compassionate and down to earth person. I work professionally, mindfully, sensitively and confidentially with my clients. I am a fully registered member of the British Association of Counselling Practice (BACP) www.bacp.co.uk/. I have a full enhanced DBS.
About Me
I have many years experience of working in the Health and Social Care field. I thoroughly enjoy working with people of all ages. I have done this in many different capacities, working with young children, teenagers, through to older people. I originally came to Counselling in 2002, where I wanted to consolidate all my work experience and training. I first gained the Intermediate Certificate in Counselling Skills and Studies, then I continued to gain further professional qualifications in Social Work and Counselling, such as the Diploma in Counselling Studies, and Diploma in Counselling. Then achieving a BSc Honours Degree in Counselling.
I have been a Volunteer Counsellor working therapeutically with Primary Aged children in Cardiff. Also teenagers aged 16 upwards, in private practice, in college settings and Young Carers Project.
I also have worked in busy city GP Surgeries as a Counsellor supporting clients aged 18 + all from diverse backgrounds and with many different needs. I have supported clients from different ethnic and faith groups. Also many clients from the LGBTQ+ community.
I have always maintained my own Private Practice, since qualifying where I work with adults and young people, online and in person.
With over 35+ years of experience in the field of health and social care; working with individuals and families, within the voluntary, private and statutory sectors. Historically, I have worked as a Support Worker supporting Adults with Learning Disabilities and Older Persons. I worked as a Social Worker for many years; in the Fostering and Adoption field. Thus I have an excellent understanding of child development, neglect, trauma, abuse and family issues.
I have also worked in the business and private industry world; so fully appreciate the inherent stresses involved; such as balancing work pressures, work place bullying, issues with self esteem, confidence, imposter syndrome and redundancy; to name just a few.
How I work
My approach stems from who I am as a person.; thus Person Centred. I bring a gentle, warm and caring approach. I hope your experience will be one where you can feel safe, non-judged, heard, supported and understood. I integrate were appropriate for you, with different psychological therapies; such as CBT, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic models.
Our work together may be short term, with an agreed time period. Or longer term and we can discuss the session plan together and look to review how the process is progressing for you. Each session will last up to an hour; what you wish to discuss and share is entirely up to you; but I will encourage and support you throughout our work together.
I can work creatively, so if it helps you, or you are interested, your session can be creative; eg. explore the use of art, stones, walking in nature and/or mindfulness.
I possess many years experience supporting clients experiencing bereavement, grief and loss in their lives. Also clients who experience issues because of past abuse, attachment issues, difficult relationships, family conflict. Chronic Illness and Health Challenges; Depression and Anxiety are also key areas of specialism.
I am really interested in self care practices both for myself and promoting to clients, etc. I have studied holistic practices such as Reiki, Crystals, Yoga and Walking & Therapy in Nature. All can prove restorative and soothing to our wellbeing and health; physically and mentally. As I myself have learnt; when experiencing health challenges.
I really appreciate that attending a counselling session for the first time can be a big step, even stressful in itself. It is natural that you might feel anxious or nervous about what might happen, or be expected of you; if we will be a 'good fit' ? This is why we can hold a brief, initial consultation online, with no obligation to continue, so we can gain a sense of working together. I can answer any questions you may have. Choosing your counsellor has to feel safe and right for you.
Our work, the space and professional relationship; is to provide a welcoming, confidential, safe and secure space in which you can explore what is happening for you. Gaining insights that might support you to manage and accept your feelings, such as, anxiety, loneliness, confusion, anger, grief, loss or depression. You will hopefully feel like you’re not alone, so feeling less overwhelmed; supported by me.

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.

Additional information
Your sessions are up to an hour. I can offer an initial free, 15 minutes online conversation. I use TEAMS.
Shorter sessions can be negotiated together, or a longer session, we can discuss this. Everyone has different needs and preferences for session duration and frequency. Some client work is weekly, fortnightly, monthly or more adhoc.
A client will complete a confidential working agreement, this is usual.
Payment for session is respectfully requested prior to your session start "for online sessions, payment to be sent by transfer before session begins". My payment information will be provided. Respectfully, this is because I have still booked out your hour and could have offered the session to another client or a client on my waiting list. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice - I respectfully ask that you pay your fee please. I really appreciate events, emergencies and illness arise for us all. If online, technical glitches can/do arise, but I will always endeavour to offer a new session, online or in person. If I have to cancel I will do my best to provide as much notice as possible, offering you a timely new appointment.
Counsellors in Training - looking for your compulsory 10 hours (or more) personal therapy - please get in touch. I have really enjoyed supporting counsellors in training over the years.

Further information
I work from a very welcoming room, in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Lovely views and wildlife to see.
This is my own room based within the Pembrokeshire National Park, a few miles outside of Tenby, a truly peaceful and lovely setting. There is ample private parking.
I do have pets, which I hope will prove a positive and maybe a therapeutic experience for any clients I work with. Cats and the dog, all very friendly. I will of course keep them separate, but just wanted to let prospective clients know.
