About me

My name is Janey I am a registered and accredited counsellor/therapist with The British Association of counsellors and psychotherapists. I am also a qualified EMDR therapist (EMDR Europe). 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 you. I have 25 yrs of experience working with individuals and families struggling with their emotional health. If you are struggling to cope with anxiety or depression, with your moods, thoughts, anger issues, 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 currently work with uk emergency services providing general counselling, trauma therapy and EMDR.

I also have specialist training and experience in working with antenatal and postnatal parents.  I  have personal lived experience of post natal anxiety. I offer counselling for antenatal and postnatal depression and anxiety, birth trauma, tokophobia (fear of childbirth), bonding/attachment issues,  fertility issues and miscarriage/pregnancy loss. Deciding to conceive, expecting and having a baby can evoke many strong emotions from past experiences. Pregnancy and birth especially if they were difficult can cause traumatic responses this in turn may  trigger anxiety, low mood, feelings of detachment and feelings of being unable to cope for both parents. 

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

BACP
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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
