About me

  • My name is Janis Sinclair; I am 64 years old, married with two grown-up children. I am a fully trained, qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist, completing my Postgraduate Diploma through Stirling University In 2011, Qualifying as a Counselling Supervisor with COSCA in 2013.

Since then, I have gained extensive experience working with adults, children, couples and families. My personal counselling experience over two years brought about a considerable self-awareness and understanding, leading me on the journey I now travel as a Psychotherapist/Counsellor.

I firmly believe that counselling should offer a confidential and non-judgemental environment in which you can discuss various issues such as:

Suicidal thoughts
bipolar
family problems
Marital issues
career
childhood sexual abuse
children
depression
low self-esteem
Panic attacks
Stress
anxiety
self-esteem
physical abuse
sexual abuse
verbal abuse
trauma
relationship problems
personal development
bereavement
depression
mental abuse
loss
anger
eating disorders and many more.


Furthermore, I believe that the key to successful counselling is choosing the right counsellor for YOU.

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.
