About me
An inescapable truth for us all is that Life is difficult. From time to time, it's really s**t and can feel overwhelming. If you're reading this, you probably know that already...
My name is Jonna and "I've lived through some terrible things, some of which actually happened" (Mark Twain). I am trauma-informed and addiction-informed in my practice and it's my job to foster a containing space in which you feel safe and supported. All relationships are co-created and this applies to the therapeutic one as well. Sooner or later whatever it is that is causing you distress or difficulties in relationships & the outside world, will arise in the consulting room.
The relationship is the therapy. It's about what happens where we meet and for it to work, you need to feel safe. For this reason, I offer an initial consultation which is a chance for you to tell me what is troubling you & for you to decide if you wish to proceed. If you do, my commitment to you is to be caring, curious and compassionate.

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.
