Jayne is a Chartered Counselling and Occupational Psychologist with over twenty years’ experience as a Psychologist within clinical, corporate and development settings.  For the last twelve years she has worked as a Counselling Psychologist with adults within the NHS and in private practice.

The basis of therapeutic work rests on the quality of relationship created. On this foundation it may become possible to be true to ourselves, to consider our way of seeing the world from a different perspective, and to open to the potential of acceptance and change. I offer two approaches to therapy, EMDR and CBT, along with drawing from mindfulness and humanistic approaches.

EMDR is a therapy used to help people overcome difficult experiences including exposure to traumatic events such as an accident or assault, or those faced by frontline medical and emergency services; dealing with ongoing troubling professional relationships with partners, managers, colleagues or through growing up as a child in the absence of safety and security. This therapy can help you make connections between key earlier experiences and current difficulties, to process and move beyond the emotional charge of the past and to face current and future situations with new insight and skill. It is recommended by NICE guidelines (2018) as an evidence-based treatment for trauma.

CBT is therapy recommended by the NICE guidelines (2018) as a treatment for many kinds of anxiety including PTSD, Social Anxiety, Health Anxiety, OCD, Generalised Anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. Through the lens offered by this approach, responses to distressing feelings such as avoidance, overworking, excessive exercising, drinking, or withdrawing from others are understood as ways of coping which we become overly reliant on, and which can themselves become part of the problem.

Through this therapy we can gain insight into the relationship between our feelings, thoughts and actions. Our assumptions about the world and accompanying responses are reconsidered in terms of the degree to which they bring us closer to where we want to be in our lives, and from this vantage point we begin to test out new ways of responding to our distress to experience the world with more ease.

Clients who come to me

Over the years I have worked with clients coming with a diverse range of desires including a wish to:

• overcome the legacy of difficult or traumatic life events
• reduce anxiety (including PTSD, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, body dysmorphia, panic, and associated sleep problems)
• break out of poor relationship patterns
• achieve a better work-life balance and overcome professional burnout
• find success in their career and professional life
• overcome mood and confidence related changes due to perimenopause
• adapting to long-term medical conditions

The initial session will be a chance to get to know each other and will include an assessment where you will be asked to share more about what it is that you would like help with, and we will consider the most suitable therapy plan. Subsequent sessions will then take place on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Jayne’s current rate is £120 / 50 mins.
