About me
I’m Jayne, a trauma-informed psychotherapist and counsellor with over 15 years’ clinical experience working in the NHS, charity sector, and private practice.
I help uncover the layers holding you together, enabling you to learn the shadows of the past, understand yourself and thrive.
I work with clients of all ages, especially Gen Z / Millennials in their twenties and thirties. Life can be hard to navigate at that age, and it’s easy to feel as if you’re getting it wrong.
If you’re suffering with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or the after-effects of trauma, that adds more layers of difficulty.
If you’re finding yourself blowing up at people, fearful and in tears, or just plain numb, there’s a reason behind all that, and a solution too. I’m here to help you find what it is.
With me, you get to explore and accept your real, authentic self – however weird or out-of-place that person might be. You’ll learn how to take control of what’s happened to you in the past, so it’s no longer in charge of you.
And you’ll then learn how to genuinely enjoy life (rather than pretending you are). Both the good bits and the less-than-good bits.
If you’ve ever felt on your own, out of place or as if you can’t be your true self, you’re very welcome here.
I can’t wait to work with you, and see you thrive – however that looks for you.

I’m highly qualified, but I’m also dyslexic. This is a secret superpower, as it means I think outside the box.
I see the whole of a person, not just a list of problems.
It also means I love working with neurodiverse clients, including people with ADHD and Autism. Basically, I’m passionate about my job.
I’m registered with BACP (the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). This means I am bound by the ethics of this organisation. In a nutshell, you can trust I have your best interests at heart.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
