Jane Wildbore

I have gained a wide range if experiences working in mental health, safeguarding, illness, disability and education with children, adolescents and adults.

I began working as a volunteer counsellor for Mosaic on Placement in 2007. I progressed, managed and facilitated Group Counselling Supervision to 12 Counsellors. I have gained extensive experience working with illness, loss and disability. I have also managed the Counselling Service and Supervision for LCIL (Leicestershire Centre for Integrated Living) for a period of 2 years.

I have worked and currently hold contracts covering 4 Children residential homes throughout Leicestershire and the Nottinghamshire border.

I have worked for 12 years as a school and college counsellor working with young people from age 5 - 21 years.

I have worked as a primary school counsellor in 2 schools in Leicester working with an age range from 6 to 11 years old. I have a vast experience working with self harm, self esteem, bullying, relationships and sexuality, working with every aspect of being a young person in this day and age and the problems with social media that arise. 

August 2018 to present date, I was presented with the opportunity to work as The Clinical Lead for Leicestershire working with Service Six, Counselling young people throughout Leicestershire specialising in sexual abuse.

March 2014 - February 2019, I set up and managed the Counselling Service at The Leicester LGBT Centre and facilitate group and individual Supervision for the Centre. I have experience of counselling LGBT Clients working through questions of gender, sexuality and identity.

I set up my private practice Leicestershire Counselling in 2009 I work with:

Anxiety & Depression which are often combined, fortunately treating depression also helps ease symptoms of anxiety. Depression and anxiety can also cause physical symptoms, professional counselling can make dealing with anxiety easier. Learning ways to deal with attacks & take control of your life.

Chronic illness and disability now affect more people than ever before. Counselling can also be a means of coping with physical & emotional symptoms of loss and pain. Caring for someone with a physical disability or illness can be a very challenging responsibility & emotional draining.

Abuse can happen to anyone. It involves more than physical violence, abuse can be emotional and sexual. Abuse has a devastating impact. It can create a wide ranging and long lasting physical, emotional and psychological scars. Counselling helps to rebuild your life.

Relationships issues such as marriage problems, affairs, separation and abuse can leave you feeling angry, sad, insecure.

Bereavement there’s no right or wrong way to grieve and there’s no telling how long it may take. There are different types of bereavement and loss, with different effects. Counselling helps in working through your grief and coming to terms with your loss.

Drugs, Alcohol, Gambling, Addictions Although substances and addictions can feel good at first, they can ultimately do a lot of harm to the body and brain. The most widely used drug in the world is alcohol which acts as a depressant that alters perceptions, emotions, and senses.

Anger is a secondary emotion that is hugely misunderstood. It is a signal and a reaction when we think and believe we are being treated unfairly. Feelings of hurt, betrayal, guilt and upset.

LGBT Counselling it can be difficult to find counsellor with some understanding of the issues and how daunting the prospect of taking the first steps can be. I offer counselling that provides a confidential, non-judgemental and friendly space in which in which you can feel safe and secure when discussing your feelings of sexuality, identity and experiences of discrimination or rejection.
