Rosie Jackson - Psychotherapist

**From March 2020, I am offering online and telephone sessions only for the forseeable future in alignment with government advice.

Suffering in life may take many forms. My approach is guided by the belief that every person is unique and that through therapy we can endeavour together to find the meaning in that suffering.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist providing open-ended psychotherapy online and in North and East London. I am trained in integrative psychotherapy and counselling. I work from a psychodynamic perspective. This means that I attach importance not only to current experiences and ways of relating, but also to how these may be linked to earlier experiences - understanding the underlying nature of the behaviour and emotions which are causing difficulty or distress can help to relieve suffering and open up the possibility for change. I believe therapy can aid the development of self awareness & foster a sense of meaning and purpose in your life in the midst of very bleak or anxiety-provoking experiences.

I have worked in a variety of settings including NHS mental health services, Mind, and Cruse bereavement care. I began my career in the arts and have a particular interest in the relationship between creativity and psychotherapy and how crisis can be a catalyst for change.

Finding a counsellor or psychotherapist can feel confusing. The first step will be to arrange an initial meeting to discuss working together so that we can both get a sense of whether ongoing sessions will be useful to you. Please do get in touch & I will provide a space for you to talk confidentially about what brings you to therapy.
