About me
Hello, I’m Janet, an experienced relationship therapist working with individuals and couples who are ready for change and want deeper, more loving connections with themselves, their partners, families and others who matter to them.
You may feel stuck in painful patterns, lonely or disconnected in a relationship, or unsure how to move forward when communication feels blocked or difficult. These struggles can arise with a partner, within your family, at work or in your relationship with yourself. When unspoken truths and underlying issues are left unaddressed, they can deepen disconnection, create anxiety and keep you caught in repeated cycles of hurt or uncertainty.
I offer a safe, compassionate and honest space to understand what lies beneath the struggle and begin relating in a more conscious way. Together, we can explore defensive patterns and help you move towards the way you want to act and feel in your relationships.
My work is for people who do not simply want to survive relationship difficulties, but want to grow through them with greater clarity, self-awareness, emotional connection and capacity for love. It can also help you understand your own responses and develop healthier ways of relating to family members or colleagues who trigger you.
My approach welcomes the whole person and is inclusive of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
A session can help you:
- understand the patterns keeping you stuck, distant or disconnected, and communicate with more honesty, safety and emotional depth
- explore issues around trust, intimacy, sexuality, infidelity, grief or identity
- rebuild after a relationship or family crisis so you can decide your next steps with more clarity,
- create a more loving, conscious and evolved relationship with a partner
- develop practical strategies for responding to difficult dynamics with a family member or colleague.
My background includes counselling, psychotherapy, psychosexual therapy, grief and loss, coaching, education and Family Constellation work. I have been specialising in relationship issues since 2020, bringing both clinical training and lived understanding of how relationship pain, shame, family systems and old wounds can shape the way we love.
I can support you with:
- couples counselling, communication, intimacy, trust and relationship repair,
- sexual shame, sexual anxiety, trauma, consent and healthy sexuality,
porn or sex compulsivity, betrayal, infidelity and the impact on partners, - grief, loss, abandonment, identity after trauma-bonded relationships, family patterns, workplace relationship difficulties, and relationship or family breakdown.
I have worked across the NHS, hospice settings and private practice, supporting people through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, sexual and intimacy issues, grief, separation, menopause, loneliness, burnout and loss of identity.
I also specialise in men’s relational health, offering a space where vulnerability and strength can be explored with respect and care.
How I Work
My work is founded on heart-based and systemic awareness. I combine this with active listening, psycho-education and therapeutic tools from counselling, psychotherapy and coaching to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface.
When you come as a couple, I work with the relationship rather than taking sides. This work is best suited to couples who are willing to be honest, curious and open to change, and who want to create a more loving, emotionally connected and evolved relationship.
The Session
We will begin by agreeing a clear focus for our time together. I will listen carefully, offer relevant insight and use heart-based interventions, psycho-education or therapeutic tools suited to what you need.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of what is happening, practical tools to use, and next steps towards the change you want for yourself and your relationships.
If you are ready to stop repeating old patterns and begin creating more conscious, loving relationships with yourself, your partner, your family or others in your life, I invite you to get in touch.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Janet
How to begin:
- Contact me to let me know what you are looking for support with.
- We arrange a short call to check whether my service feels right for your needs.
- If it feels like a good fit, we book a convenient session date and time.
- You read and agree to the working contract - and send back to me.
- Payment is made to confirm your session.
- You arrive, and we begin the work together.
A few questions you may have:
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on before I contact you?
No. You only need a sense that something needs to change. We can clarify the focus together during the first conversation.
What happens in the short call?
The call is a chance to briefly explore what you are looking for, answer any initial questions, and check whether my approach feels like the right fit for your needs.
For couples work, do both partners need to be equally ready?
It helps if both people are willing to engage, but you do not need to arrive with everything worked through. The important starting point is openness, honesty and a willingness to look beneath the surface.
What if I feel nervous about starting?
That is completely normal. You will not be pushed, blamed or judged. We will go at a pace that feels safe enough while still supporting meaningful change.

Before the Therapy Room
I spent twenty years as a primary school teacher Catholic education. That experience gave me an intimate understanding of the systems that shape how we learn to love, to hide, to perform, and to silence ourselves within different environments: family, institutional, cultural and religious. It also gave me an unshakeable belief in the capacity of every human being to grow, given the right conditions.
Member organisations
school 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.
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.
