About me
Taking the first step towards seeking help takes courage, and I'm glad you're here. Hello, I'm Jessie, a qualified therapist with extensive experience working with children, young people, and adults.
In my private practice in Pembrokeshire, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and concerns. Together, we'll work towards meaningful change and compassionately face your challenges.
I believe everyone deserves the right support, but finding it can be challenging. In our initial session, we'll identify your needs and explore the best options, including referrals to other services if that's what's most beneficial for you.
Feel free to reach out with questions or to arrange a free initial session. This will give you a chance to discuss your situation, ask about therapy, and see if we're a good fit to work together.

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.
