About me
My name is Janey I am a registered counsellor with The British Association of counsellors and psychotherapists. I am trained integratively, which means I can draw from several therapeutic approaches. This means that I can tailor the therapy to be very personal to the client I am working with. I have 25 yrs of experience working with individuals and families struggling with their emotional health. If you are struggling to cope emotionally, with your mood, thoughts, relationships, life's stresses or have experienced abuse/ trauma recently or in the past and would like to work through these issues, I would be happy to help.
I have specialist training and experience in working with antenatal and postnatal parents. I offer counselling for antenatal and postnatal depression, birth trauma, bonding/attachment issues, fertility issues and pregnancy loss. Deciding to conceive, expecting and having a baby can evoke many strong emotions from past experiences, delivery and coping with the transition.
I offer a professional, caring, calm, confidential and therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their issue without judgement. I am particularly influenced by person centred theory and agree with the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow and are the expert in overcoming their difficulties in order to move on with their lives.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
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
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
