About me
Making a decision to begin counselling is a personal process and it's hard to know who to choose. To make getting started as easy a possible send me an email or a text and we can organise a time to have an initial call and take it from there. I offer an initial phone consultation so that you can find out if my experience and way of counselling will suit you. You can also call me to discuss any questions you may have and or look me up on my web site www.jhowiecounselling.co.uk
I am a registered member of NCPS, The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and a PVG membership which allows me to work with adults and children. I have over 25 years of experience of helping people grow and develop and I'm easy to talk to, with a non-judgemental approach. Therefore I use an integrative approach when working with people which include CBT, person centred and mindfulness stress reduction approaches. I'm a friendly,compassionate counsellor who has experience in dealing with a range of issues from abuse, anxiety, addictions, to bereavement, depression and work and personal stress. Most people experience difficulties in life or will be involved in challenging relationships both personally or professionally and when situations become overwhelming and affects your personal happiness then talking to a counsellor can help. I am also experienced Mindfulness trainer and can use this approach to help you find ways to deal with anxiety, depression, insomnia and intrusive thoughts.
Sometimes trying to deal with it on your own can make things harder as we can fall into unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaving trapping us in cycles which are not beneficial. Counselling allows you to explore things in a safe place where you can be yourself without fear of being judged. It can help you feel less alone and more able to sort out your thoughts productively to help you feel more in control of your life and bring meaningful change.

What to Expect
I work in partnership with you to raise awareness of what you think, feel and do, to help you make informed choices and develop strategies to manage your difficulties and improve your mood. I have an integrated approach to counselling to ensure it meets the needs of the individual. In the first meeting we will talk about what you want need and expect from me as your counsellor to help you to decide if I'm the right counsellor for you. I understand the complexities and challenges people can face and I'm committed to helping and empowering people when they are lost or stuck, or when their world is crumbling around them and by providing a supportive space I can help people find a way forward attaining meaningful change for them.
