About me
Your twenties are a time of a lot of change, and this can be quite overwhelming. You may feel like you’re stuck, not keeping up, or that you’re struggling to figure out who you are amidst it all. I understand that the transition to adulthood can be a challenging one, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
People may be asking you to have everything figured out but I offer you a safe space to just be you, without fear of judgement, where you can figure out who you are, what you want, and how to get there.
You can bring whatever you’d like to the sessions, and we’ll explore it at your own pace. Some of the common themes I support young adults with are:
- Self worth and low self-esteem
- Anxiety and overwhelm
- Identity and self-discovery
- Neurodiversity
- Life transitions
- Relationships and boundaries
I work in what's known as a person-centred way, which simply means we’ll work in a way that is unique and most beneficial to you. That may involve talking about how things are for you, or if you can’t find the right words, we can utilise your favourite media or hobbies (music, books, film/tv, games, sports, etc.) to help explore what's going for you at present. You don’t have to know exactly what to say, just come as you are and we’ll figure out the rest together.
Reaching out can sometimes feel a bit intimidating, this is why I offer a free 20 minute intro phone call for us to have an informal chat about what you’re hoping to get out of therapy as well as seeing if working together feels like a good fit for you. You can get in touch via the contact details on this page, or by my email (jclarkcounsellor@gmail.com) or website (www.jclarkcounselling.co.uk).
I look forward to hearing from you!
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
In addition to my private practice work, I volunteer as a counsellor at The Belfrey in York and have previously counselled at The Spurriergate Centre.
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.
