About me
Hi, my name is Jane and thank you for taking time to view my profile. I am an experienced and qualified Person Centred Counsellor and I work with both adults and young people helping to provide a positive way forward. Life can at times bring many challenges and it can get to a point where navigation through it all can sometimes feel too overwhelming. You may feel low but don’t know why, or you could be finding it really difficult to manage a demanding situation your worries and anxiety seeming to dominate your everyday life. No matter what the reason for these feelings or the way in which they affect you, I aim to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space to enable you to explore your issues.
I work in a person-centred way which means I won't advise you or tell you what to do, I believe that you are the expert at knowing what is best for yourself. I will endeavour to understand and listen to you without judgement helping you to explore your worries and issues enabling you to find a way forward.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), working to the their Ethical Framework for good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy which makes sure that I work safely with you.
I offer fees at an affordable rate helping to make private counselling a more do-able option for those feeling they would like to access some support.
Training, qualifications & experience
FDa in Counselling
As a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor I have worked within several differing work environments. I have experience working with with a diverse range people who have suffered with a wide range of difficulties. Alongside my private practice where I work with both adults and young people I also work as a School Counsellor with 11-18 year olds.
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.

After making the decision to enter into counselling, meeting with a counsellor can feel like a big step and feelings of apprehension and nerves is normal and understandable. Please feel free to give me a ring, we can then arrange a suitable time for an initial consultation.
