About me
I'm Janine and I'm a qualified, experienced counsellor working in the heart of Epsom.
If you are feeling a bit lost, anxious or low, I am here to help. I help clients of all ages every day with a range of challenges, including anxious feelings, issues arising from ADHD and autism, relationship struggles, family ups and downs, feeling low (depression) and low self esteem.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I am trained in a range of techniques but my primary focus is on tailoring counselling to what you, the client, needs. I will ask you about your experiences and feelings and listen to what has brought you to counselling. Listening to you and learning about how you have experienced life and relationships will allow me to walk alongside you, so that together we can enter a process of healing, change and discovery. I genuinely believe that you know what is causing you pain or distress and my job is to engage with you, listen and challenge you so that together we can find the answers and the routes to change and recovery.
Since 2016, I have worked with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, issues arising from neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD), relationships, parenting, OCD, work and school related stress and sexuality and gender identity.
I have worked with all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds and feel passionately about offering a safe, non judgemental space that is neuro affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming. My aim is that you will grow in self awareness and become more confident and resilient as a result.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I adhere to a strict ethical framework and always work within my client's best interests. I offer a safe, comfortable and confidential environment with free parking, just a short walk from Epsom town centre.

Member organisations
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.
