Jayne Heron
About me
My name's Jayne & I have a background in television - I was a Factual Entertainment Series Producer before I had my children, working for the BBC, ITV, Channel 5, independent production companies & digital networks. I also have a BA (Hons) in Politics.
Originally from Solihull, I've lived all over the UK (London, Birmingham & Glasgow) but I chose to raise my family in the South West with the warm weather and outdoor lifestyle. I especially love being in amongst nature in woodlands, on the beaches & the moors.
I specialize in anxiety and depression and Emotional Regulation.
My style of counselling is warm, informal and friendly and includes being:
- PERSON-CENTRED - I adjust my practice according to what you need. I also believe in you as a unique, valuable, worthwhile human being.
- SAFE, CONFIDENTIAL, NON-JUDGEMENTAL, SUPPORTIVE
- EMPATHIC - it's my job to walk in your shoes and see the world how you see it.
- IN PARTNERSHIP - we work together to achieve your goals
- TRAINED - I studied for a Certificate in Counselling and then a BACP Accredited Level 4 Advanced Diploma at the Iron Mill College in Exeter for 2 years, undergoing 40 hours of my own personal therapy and spending over 150 hours in placement.
I used to be an Accredited Member of the BACP but have now transferred my membership to the National Counselling Society (NCS) as a Professional Accredited Member and abide by their Ethical Framework.
My NCS number is NCS21-01339
I also have a full enhanced DBS, Number 001523633260.
Contact me now via TEXT, EMAIL or PHONE for an initial chat and we can arrange a convenient time to meet in Torquay or Online.

Further information
INITIAL SESSION
Most people are nervous at their first session, but during this meeting you can get to know a little bit about me and how I work and I can start to understand the problems you'd like to bring to therapy. There is no obligation to commit to therapy if it doesn't feel right, so you've got nothing to lose but one hour of your time.
Counselling is only effective if you like your Counsellor and feel comfortable talking to them, so this first session is really important to help you decide whether I'm the right Counsellor for you. And if I'm not, I can point you in the direction to find someone who may be a better fit - Counsellors come in all shapes and sizes, so keep looking until you find someone you feel comfortable with.
I work weekdays, daytime and evenings so get in touch via email, text or phone - I really look forward to hearing from you.
