Jess Orlik (MA, Dip)
About me
I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. Whatever your difficulty, I offer a safe, confidential and accepting space where your experience, thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored.
I work with a range of issues including bereavement, stress, anxiety, depression, childhood abuse and neglect, trauma, relationship difficulties, self esteem and eating disorders.
I am interested in understanding each person's unique experience of being in the world, and in how experiences throughout our lives can shape our perception of ourselves and others and create painful difficulties in living and relating. Psychotherapy can help to work through these difficulties and enable us to respond to life's challenges with greater ease.
Training, qualifications & experience
I undertook a 6 year Masters degree in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. Prior to this I completed a 3 year Barefoot Practitioner Training which involved mindfulness practices and breathwork. In addition to my private practice I worked for two years as an honorary psychotherapist within the NHS. I have also worked as a counsellor in a drug and alcohol addiction agency.
