About me
Hi, I am Jane, and welcome to my practice.
You might be finding yourself feeling low or a bit anxious, sad and maybe lonely. You might be having pressures at work, or with family or your partner and confused about the impact this is having on you. You could be struggling with the loss of someone close or even just fed-up feeling something isn't quite right but not sure what to do. My aim is to provide you with somewhere safe and confidential in which to explore the reasons why you decided to seek some support at this time and the initial session will be a place to explore this. It will also provide a space in which to establish what you might like to gain from therapy and how we may work together and how long for. I understand seeking therapy can be daunting and I am committed to creating a warm, comfortable and confidential space for you.
I have had diverse experience and training in multiple approaches, settings and client groups spread over many years. I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy which means I pull upon these various techniques allowing me to tend to individual needs using specific tools the disciplines offer. I work on an open-ended, longer-term basis and also a time-limited basis where specific goals and concerns can be focused on. I believe that establishing a safe, trusting and mutually respectful relationship between therapist and client is vital to the outcome of the therapy. I believe in therapy being a collaboration experience between the therapist and client and I am respectful and mindful of the life experience the client brings and how we work with that together. I abide by the BACP and UKCP Code of Ethics.

Member organisations
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.
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.
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.

Online Therapy
There are many advantages and benefits to online therapy. Since the pandemic working online has become a very popular and convenient way of seeking and accessing ongoing support. Below are some advantages to online therapy:
- Research suggests that online therapy is just as effective as face to face therapy
- The relationship between client and therapist is unaffected
- Clients are not limited to choosing a therapist around locality
- It can save time and money due to not needing to travel and this can reduce stress in itself
- Therapy can be accessed in familiar surroundings of your home which can support a relaxed and safe environment
- The same rules of confidentiality apply so you can be assured everything will remain in the strictest of confidence
- Sessions can be attended from different locations which allows flexibility for clients
- This form of therapy can also be very beneficial to those who work shifts or irregular hours
Online therapy takes the same form as face to face appointments. All you need is a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection.

Longer-Term Counselling
A longer term commitment to therapy offers the opportunity to explore in more depth what may be troubling you. Meeting once weekly at the same time for 50 minutes in a warm, friendly and non-judgmental setting can provide an enriching environment in which to seek change. Taking a relational stance I will be an active role walking by your side while addressing subject matter you wish to bring to the work. If you are unsure what you need or would like at this time, or are uncertain in any way about counselling, these concerns can be discussed at our first session where we can agree what you might like from counselling and how we may work together.
Shorter-Term Counselling
A shorter term commitment can provide the chance to work in a more solution focused way if there is a particular issue that may be troubling you and is usually around 6 to 12 sessions. Although I prefer to work longer term with clients I do see benefits from shorter term work particularly if you have specific areas that you would like to work on. The therapy takes a more direct and focused approach. In the first session we will discuss your concerns, needs and what you might like from counselling so that we can agree together how we might work together.
