Jane Seymour MA, Relationship Counsellor and Sex Therapist
About me
I have over twenty years experience and specialise in working with couples and individuals who present with relationship issues and sexual difficulties. I was a Relate licensed counsellor for many years and until recently I was a trainer and supervisor at Tavistock Relationships. I am specifically trained to work with couples and individuals on all aspects of their relationships.
I see a wide range of clients from all walks of life, with a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and I work with straight and gay couples and non-binary individuals.
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Psychodynamic Marital and Couple Counselling - London Marriage Guidance Council/Roehampton Institute
Diploma in Psychosexual Marital and Couple Counselling - London Marriage Guidance Council
MA in Psychoanalytic Studies - Goldsmiths College University of London
Certificate in Supervision - Society of Analytical Psychology
As a faculty staff member at the Tavistock Relationships I devised and ran the MSc in Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy. I also devised the Certificate in Psychosexual Studies. Until recently I continued to teach and supervise at Tavistock Relationships on a variety of courses. I was also a Relate Licensed Counsellor for ten years. I have lectured and taught in Stockholm and Istanbul as well as for various organisations in this country including COSRT, BUPA, The Royal Shakespeare Company and The Metropolitan Police. In my private practice I see clients (couples and individuals) and I offer supervision to psychodynamic counsellors and sex therapists.
Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
UK Council for Psychotherapy
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I am specifically trained to work with couples and individuals where the relationship (or lack of it) is part of the focus of the work. When this is the case other factors such as depression, stress, addictions, fertility and illness are often contributory factors which I work with.
