About me

Counselling can help you find a safe space in which to talk in confidence about your issues or concerns.

It is different to talking to a friend or relative as the focus is purely on you. I am able to listen attentively without judging, jumping to assumptions or needing a certain outcome from you.

Counselling can help to reflect on areas of difficulty in your life. We can work together to identify and manage the changes you want to make, whilst feeling supported through the process and improve the ways you cope with any difficulties.

My name is Janine and I am a fully qualified counsellor with nearly 10 years experience working in private practice and the charity sector.

I offer short or long term therapy by phone and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, faiths, ethnicity, gender or sexuality. 

I understand how difficult it can be finding a counsellor or coming to therapy for the first time. I also believe that having the right therapist is vital to successful counselling.

Individuals


To help you decide if I am the right therapist for you I offer a free 30 minute initial phone appointment, when you can tell me more about yourself and what you would like to achieve. You will get a taste of how counselling works and see if we feel comfortable working together.

Training, qualifications & experience

Before I became a qualified counsellor I have been in many caring professions. I have experience working with children, teenagers and elderly with disabilities and additional needs. I have been a Youth Worker for over ten years, and have experience working with teenagers experiencing difficulties with family relationships, self harm, low self esteem, self image and behavioural difficulties such as ADHD.

It was during my time as a Youth Worker that I discovered what a positive and empowering effect counselling could have on the lives and relationships of some of the young people I was working with. I decided that I also wanted to help people in this way. I then spent four years training to gain my counselling diploma.

I have past experience working at Inner Clarity Counselling Chesterfield, where I was fortunate to gain a placement with Gillian Grant, working with a wide range of private clients.

I have experience working with many issues including: relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, anger, low self confidence, abuse, rape, self harm, bereavement and family issues.

I have also been a voluntary counsellor for Derbyshire Disability, where I provided therapy for people with disabilities and their carers in various locations across the county.
I currently also see clients for a charity helping people affected by rape or abuse.

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.

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).
