About me
Hello I'm Jill and a warm welcome to my practice . I am currently taking on New clients in my Hinderclay Practice at affordable rates.
I offer a relaxed, safe place for you to be able to explore your challenges. I hope you will find my therapy room comfortable and bright. I place a real importance on offering a delightful room.
I also hope you will enjoy my fresh approach to working alongside you on your journey and I will work at your pace.
I am an experienced Counsellor and I hope to bring a fresh positive approach in working with individuals and in my couples work. I am very much a believer in communication being at the core of a good relationship . I work with a positive mindset and help couples and individuals always balance negatives with gratitude as well as focusing on what one appreciates about the other person. With this in mind, one can turn any relationship around. I have had numerous couples and individuals achieve fulfilling happy lives from focusing on gratitude and all the positives you have in you. When one feels a heathy respect about themselves we can then go onto attracting positivity into our lives.
I offer face to face appointments as I always feel that these sessions are much more productive and its a better way for clients to feel safe .It keeps it private and one can then 'leave it here ' when you go.
What happens during the session?
My counselling approach places our therapeutic relationship at the heart our work together.
In the initial appointment I hope to make you feel safe and welcome. I offer a private practice which I hope you will find tranquil and relaxed. I also place emphasis on offering a nice room in my home which offers a peaceful bright space. I am happy to offer the initial session with me at reduced rates so you can decide whether you would like to work with me. Its very important to feel comfortable with your therapist.
As you explore your emotions and feelings and look at your challenges, I will be alongside you and I aim to match your pacing in a respectful way.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
- Domestic Abuse
I am an experienced counsellor in dealing with all forms of domestic abuse.
You may feel as though you have no one that can help you or simply understand . It can be a lonely place. I know only so well how this feels having been in a long term marriage that I eventually managed to escape from. I feel the key to this is to find support from someone that clearly understands what you are going through and of course how frightening this can be. If you decide you would like support from me, I will treat you with respect and work at your pace. There is a light at the end of the tunnel...... trust me because I have experienced that hidden hurt and I have escaped ........
Relationship issues.
I offer couples counselling to help resolve issues within an intimate relationship.
I hope to facilitate change and bring you a positive outcome through clear communication. We can together negotiate and resolve conflicts where possible.
There are many different concerns you may bring to couples counselling ranging from a lack of communication to a betrayal or an affair. Sometimes talking to someone objectively, with no connection to yourself or partner, is all it takes for you to gain perspective.
I am totally non judgemental and offer couples a safe space in my private practice for you both to off load, Issues can be really varied . Maybe you find your communication is really difficult or you are not good at listening to each other.
Some couples come to therapy as they may not want to have so many arguments. Of course all couples do argue but too many arguments can be quite destructive to the relationship. Hopefully a couple can look to gain insight into how their partner sees things from a their prospective.
For some couples perhaps intimacy feels like it has gone out of the window . This is very common especially after having children and when you have been together a long time.
I aim to give my couples the key tools to put the spark back into your relationships. I believe I have helped many couples achieve this and they have gone on to have a fulfilling life.
Again through therapy and open communication one can talk through all your feelings which helps regain the special bond you once had and leave here feeling more connected to your partner after even your first session.
Life coaching.
I am a creative life coach helping clients who want to make change in both their personal and professional lives. I can help you develop a more open creative way of living.

Further information
Telephone counselling
Many people have very busy lives and therefore Telephone counselling offers an alternative to a face to face meeting. It means one can set time aside in the privacy of their home or office to concentrate on their booked telephone appointment.
I have offered many counselling telephone appointments to clients throughout the country so it's not restricted to local people. It offers flexibility and can fit around your diary. It's an excellent way for people to have therapy at the times and days suitable for them. I can also offer this therapy over weekends . All my calls are made from my counselling practice meaning it is safe and confidential.
WHAT OTHER CLIENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT WORKING WITH ME.
My clients tell me they are surprised how quickly they felt different and that when they left the initial session they reported feeling "lighter" and "understood" They further respected that I didn't rush them and that they appreciated that here in my private practice I don't have a rigid approach to finishing after an hour. They knew thatI was working alongside them and was keen for them to always leave feeling positive so on many occasions I have overrun my sessions without further charges as we were both very much involved in exploring an issue.
