Jill Eggleston MBACP, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Email meAbout me
Hello, my name is Jill Eggleston and I am based in Weymouth. I am a qualified and experienced Counsellor. I offer a free half hour initial session and concessions for students.
Are you feeling stuck?
Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed?
Are you having relationship problems?
Counselling gives you an opportunity to look at any emotional or behavioural issues which may be troubling you in a safe, therapeutic environment.
As a Counsellor, I primarily work in a person-centred way, integrating other approaches in order to suit the individual needs of my clients.
I will not give answers or advice but will provide a safe, confidential space where you can explore thoughts, feelings and actions. I believe that a good relationship is at the heart of counselling and therefore I aim to understand you in a non‑judgemental and accepting way. I offer warmth, support and encouragement to enable you to find your own answers and discover a way forward.
