About me

Hello, I'm Jackie, and I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate stress, anxiety, and sleep issues without knowing the root cause. With over two decades of experience in counselling and a deep commitment to continuous learning, I offer a safe, empathetic space where you can explore your emotions and experiences without judgment.

How I Can Help: I specialise in helping people like you find calm and balance within themselves. I use a mix of therapies that are personalised just for you. My goal is to help you become stronger and more resilient in your emotions and thoughts. Together, we'll work on reducing stress and anxiety by figuring out what's causing them and finding ways to manage them better.

Why Work With Me: My approach is grounded in authenticity and honesty. I believe in the power of human connection and work collaboratively with you to foster a supportive therapeutic relationship. My unique background in trauma-informed care and emotional regulation equips me to provide effective strategies for managing anxiety and stress, leading to lasting improvements in your mental and physical health.

In my practice: I use my training in understanding trauma and relationships to compassionately help you address your challenges and feel emotionally safe. Whether you're dealing with intense feelings or just want to feel better overall, I'm here to support your journey toward healing and becoming the best version of yourself.

Partnering with me offers you:

  • Customised Care: Each session is uniquely designed to address your personal challenges and objectives.
    Empathetic Support: A welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings.
    Actionable Strategies: Practical techniques to reduce stress, manage anxiety, enhance sleep quality, and increase your energy levels.
    Expert Guidance: Insights from an experienced professional who has successfully assisted many others facing similar issues.

The Advantages of Online Therapy: Online therapy provides several unique benefits:

  • Convenience: Access therapy from the comfort of your home, eliminating the need for travel and fitting more easily into your schedule.
    Accessibility: Ideal for individuals with mobility issues or those living in remote areas, ensuring you receive support no matter your location.
    Privacy: Conduct sessions in a private space of your choice, fostering a sense of security and ease.
    Flexibility: With sessions available on Wednesdays, you can easily integrate therapy into your weekly routine without disrupting your work or personal commitments.

I offer exclusively online therapy to cater to these needs. This approach ensures you can receive consistent support regardless of where you are.

Start Your Journey: Begin your path toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Reach out today to schedule your free 20-minute consultation and experience how counselling can empower you to confidently navigate life's challenges with clarity.

Warm regards,

Jackie

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

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).
