Hello, my name is Jackie. I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a significant step, and I recognise the courage it takes to do so. Many individuals find themselves struggling with difficult emotions or challenging situations, and I want to reassure you that you are not alone in seeking help to navigate these experiences. My aim is to create a welcoming and secure space where you can begin your journey with confidence.

My therapeutic approach primarily integrates my core theory of Person Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to effectively address issues such as anxiety, depression, worry, anger and a range of other mental health concerns. I work collaboratively with you, offering practical tools and strategies to help you understand and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. Together, we will equip you with key techniques to use both inside and outside the counselling room, to help support you reach your goal.

During our sessions, you can expect a welcoming, safe, confidential, and entirely non-judgemental environment where you can freely express yourself and talk openly. We will structure sessions to work through your concerns at your pace, focusing on building practical skills that lead to measurable, positive changes in your daily life. My objective is to support you in developing greater resilience and achieving your personal goals.

I also specialise in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Behavioural Couples Therapy, providing dedicated support for trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges and other mental health concerns, I tailor these specialised interventions to meet your unique needs and cultivate lasting improvements.

I am a qualified counsellor and a registered, accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold a CPCAB Level 5 in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have undertaken specialist training in (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing.

My professional experience covers a wide range of challenges including anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, and relationship difficulties. I also hold a special interest in supporting individuals through miscarriage, infant loss, and post-partum depression, anger, sexual abuse and grief. Whether you are facing day-to-day stress or the long-term impact of past experiences, I use my experience to offer the best therapeutic approach for your unique needs.
