About Me
I have experience in supporting adults, children and young people in a clinical psychotherapist role for nearly a decade.
I practice from a Person-Centred Approach to therapy, underpinned by the values of empathic understanding, acceptance and congruence.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP) and as such, adhere to their BACP Ethical Framework.
In addition to my private practice, I provide support for children and young people who suffer with active suicidal thoughts, self harm, poor self esteem, ADHD, ASD and anxiety.
My Location
My therapy room is located in a quiet, discreet cul-de-sac; overlooking greenery and trees.
Therapy With Jan
Background
From an early age, it was apparent that I was motivated to help people, in the beginning as a qualified teacher, then subsequently working for more than two decades in an NHS Mental Health organisation and finally by gaining my professional qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
It was during my own personal experience of therapy, that really had an impact. Having the opportunity to speak about how I was feeling, without any judgement; enabled me to share more of myself within the process. I gained a much clearer understanding of how my feelings and thought processes; informed and influenced my behaviours and actions. This helped me significantly in not repeating these patterns in other areas of my life.
The impact of this approach led me to pursue an additional qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This approach focuses on our current situations and thoughts, which link into our emotions and feelings and in turn affect our actions and behaviours. This creates an unhelpful cycle which can be detrimental to our mental health and well-being.
My Therapy Approaches:
Person-centred therapy is an approach that allows you to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process; you will discover your own solutions. I act as a caring facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging your experience without moving the conversation in another direction. I am there to encourage and support you and to guide the therapeutic process without attempting to interrupt or interfere with your own process of self-discovery.
We cannot stress enough, the importance of connecting with someone who you feel comfortable sharing yourself with. I offer a warm and compassionate space for you to begin your journey of recovery.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses a much more direct approach, this can be very helpful with issues such as self-esteem, low mood and poor sense of self.
These approaches can be used individually or as a combination, dependant on what you are currently experiencing.
EcoTherapy and Mindfulness
Eco-therapy means ‘restoring and developing wellbeing through connection with nature’.
Connecting with nature in this way can have lots of positive health benefits.
It can help to improve feelings of mental health and wellbeing,
Nature helps us to naturally “connect” and assist feelings of being “grounded”.
It also supports “mindfulness” and to be present in those moments.
There are many benefits to this approach, particularly for those who are feeling disconnected with life in general.
If you feel this may be of benefit to you, we can discuss this during your initial consultation.
