About me
Hello, I'm Jill, I'm a therapeutic ADHD coach and integrative counsellor and I work with women who are seeking to build a life that feels like the right fit rather than living in survival mode.
Life can feel pretty overwhelming, and when you feel as if you want the world to stop for a while, that can be a good moment to spend some time offloading the things that are weighing you down; taking stock of where you are; and re-building life so it feels like a better fit for you. This is where I can help.
We can work directly with the experience of being neurodivergent or with this as a background to other issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or relationship difficulties.
We’ll work together in a holistic way that takes your whole self and situation into consideration. I describe my approach as 'integrative' which means I am trained in a wide range of approaches so we can create exactly the right blend of techniques to match your needs. I like to work, in particular, with psychodynamic techniques and in ways that are informed by Internal Family Systems, and somatic work, and I'm constantly training and learning to deepen my skills and knowledge.
Being qualified as a coach and therapist means that we can work with issues from the past or present as well as giving you the tools to build a future that is right for you. I can help you learn to manage your energy and emotions to avoid or recover from burnout.
When we first meet, we'll explore what's brought you here and what you hope to achieve, in order to begin to put together an idea of which approaches might work best for you.
Therapy is a collaborative process, I'm not here with answers or advice but I'd love to work alongside you as you set out on your own journey.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before qualifying as an integrative counsellor I trained as a professional coach, specialising mainly in work with neurodivergent entrepreneurs. My work has always been very person centred and client led. No matter what your needs or situation, when we begin to work together, I will take time to understand what life is like for you, beyond any labels or assumptions. We can work through issues relating to the past, present, and future to explore whatever you would like to dig deeper into. You are in the driving seat and I'm here as your guide.
I was a teacher for almost 20 years before this, with experience in school leadership for wellbeing and inclusion, and I'm available to offer training on ADHD for the workplace or educational settings, as well as training in working with neurodivergent clients, students, and employees.
In a way, I see the parts of my career as one and the same, working in different contexts to help break down barriers to contentment and fulfillment.
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.
