About me

Hi, I am Janine and I am an experienced psychotherapist/counsellor who works with adults and young people from my private therapy room at Hooton Business Centre which is on the Cheshire/Wirral border. I have 14 years experience working as a counsellor with clients on a one to one basis as providing therapy for the emergency services and occupational health companies. My previous experience has been working with education, children's social care , prison service and HM Forces.  I offer one-to-one therapy sessions to clients and couples counselling for couples as well as Critical Incident Stress Debriefing for organisations whose staff members have experienced a critical incident/traumatic event.

Relationship Counselling:

Many relationships struggle due to non-communication, infidelity,  and intimacy issues. You may feel uncomfortable having these conversations with your partner and require a mutual space with a qualified therapist to work through this.  Therapy can help you to work through issues with your partner and improve communication in a safe non judgemental space.

Narcissistic Abuse:

I specialise in working with survivors of narcissistic abuse after my own lived experience of this abuse through what I believe was an estranged parent, sibling and a previous ex-partner. Therapy can help you recognise what you have experienced and support you in reclaiming your self-worth and self-esteem, putting those boundaries in place and changing the messages you have received about yourself based on other people's behaviours towards you. 

Anxiety:

Most of us will have felt anxious at some time in our lives but when anxiety interferes with our ability to socialise, go to work or manage our daily life then it might be time to reach out for help. Anxiety is the name given to the feelings we feel when our body/brain is telling us we are in danger, it is normal to have these feelings when we sense danger. Our body is flooded with chemicals when adrenaline is pumped into our system which causes a fast heart rate and other physical symptoms of anxiety. The problem with anxiety is that our brain does not know the difference between present danger, the memory of danger or any negative thoughts we may be having which make us feel we are in danger. Therapy can help you to recognise these thoughts and negative thinking patterns and work with you to put strategies and coping mechanisms in place to manage them,

I also work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, intrusive thoughts, personality disorders, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem or bullying issues.  

I have over 14 years experience of counselling and 30 years experience of working with adults and young people in education and community settings and I hold an enhanced certificate from the Disclosure Barring System so you can be reassured I am not barred from working with vulnerable adults and young people.

We work at your pace to explore why you have come to therapy and what you want to gain from sessions and put a working plan in place that works for you so that you can start to feel in control of your life and make the changes you want to make.

The therapeutic relationship is the most important thing when coming to therapy so I offer a safe, non judgemental and relaxed space where you are able to feel safe enough to share what is causing you distress.

I work with clients for either long and short-term face to face or online therapy. Short term therapy can be for 6 – 12 sessions and can focus on CBT techniques to give you the tools and strategies you can incorporate into your life. Long term therapy is over a longer period of time and uses psychodynamic therapy to explore your past experiences and help you to understand the influence of your past on your present behaviour and find new ways for you to change the behaviours that no longer benefit you. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on your unconscious (hidden from your awareness) or relationship patterns that evolve from childhood.

I use a mixture of different counselling modalities depending on your needs and this is something we will agree on during our assessment. If you feel you require a certain modality then please let me know.

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)  and an Accredited member of the NCPS (accredited by the professional standards Authority and I abide by their ethical standards and continue to work within their framework and code of ethics.  I have regular monthly supervision and continue attending up-to-date training to enhance my counselling toolkit.

I currently have availability for new clients face-to-face or online via zoom video.
