Jodi Lovelock

We all know that life can have many challenges, especially in these current times. Things can feel unsettling, relationships challenging and being Human can feel hard. We also all have a past and it impacts on the present and potential future. However, I honestly believe that with the right support, the challenges we face can be overcome and become enablers for growth. Facing our fears and challenging ourselves with change can be difficult but rewarding. I am a genuine person and Counsellor, who has overcome my own challenges, and this enables me to be truly empathetic and non-judgmental in my approach. I embrace diversity and its richness and work inclusively with people from all walks of life, ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, disability and age. I hope to build a trusting relationship that will empower you, or a special young person in your life, to heal and grow.

I work intuitively to connect with and best support you. My theoretical approach is integrative, combining different theories and approaches to best meet your needs.

I have 20 years’ experience as a Counsellor and have counselled for various agencies including Cruse Bereavement Care, Bedford Open Door and YiS Young Peoples Mental Health. I have also worked with Troubled Families and as a Careers Counsellor and also in a Care Home, supporting adult males with learning disabilities.

I have been able to build up vast experience in supporting others, specialising in supporting young people, childhood work, families, trauma and loss. This has been in a range of settings including in people’s houses, schools, drop-in centres, youth clubs, agencies and more recently online. I also have a good understanding of issues associated with addiction.

I have developed skills as a Relationship/Dating therapist and can work with you around your Attachment Style.

My motivation as a counsellor is to enable and empower others. I believe that by showing acceptance and empathy and meeting you ‘where you are’ is a good starting point.

I share tools including Mindfulness techniques where appropriate and these are tools that you take with you after sessions cease.

I bring myself and an open mind and heart to sessions, I hope this helps reassure and build trust so that you feel comfortable and safe to share. We work together as one to best support you.
