About me
Hi, I'm Jayne, an experienced BACP Integrative Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor. I run my private practice from a purpose-built garden room and currently offer both online and face to face sessions.
I am committed to supporting you to work through whatever has prompted you to seek help. Maybe you are feeling stuck, struggling to cope or feeling lost in your own head? Life is challenging and it’s not uncommon to experience a loss of meaning and purpose. Perhaps your past experiences are standing in the way of you leading the life you want. I offer a safe supportive space to explore what’s important to you, uncover unconscious patterns that may be holding you back, understand the root cause of the distress and work through difficult emotions.
The way we think, relate and function in life is influenced by our life experiences. These habitual learned patterns of being and relating can at times hold us back and be precursors to distress. Everyone in life has a unique set of experiences and circumstances and I offer a confidential and safe space to explore what is important to you.
A bit about my Psychotherapeutic Philosophy and Approach
I am an integrative psychotherapist which means that I draw from a variety of theoretical models and psychotherapeutic philosophies. Above all, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the healing process, and I provide a safe non-judgemental supportive space for you to explore what's important to you.
I am guided by the principle of exploring experiences from a ‘making sense of what happened to me’ perspective rather than ‘what is wrong with me.’ My practice and values are grounded in relational psychodynamics and person-centred traditions. I’m not here to ‘do therapy’ to clients, but to ‘work alongside’ clients as we explore.
How can Psychotherapy help?
Exploring the reasons for your difficulties, gaining personal insights and connecting the dots, can be helpful in the path toward a peaceful and more balanced life. When we are able to understand why we respond and feel the way we do and have this understanding witnessed and emotionally held within a therapeutic relationship, it can be easier to nurture self-compassion and foster choice and intentionality aligned with values.
Short term or long term?
Counselling and psychotherapy can be set at a pace appropriate for each individual and can be either long term or short term.
Clinical Supervision
I am a qualified clinical supervisor working with both qualified and trainee counsellors/psychotherapists. For more information visit my supervision page and contact me to learn about what I can offer you as a supervisor.

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.
