I work creatively and am from a Person Centred base. My initial focus is to listen to you very carefully. However what I offer is a relationship. Within this relationship you are free to use all the resources I have to offer: my training, experience and myself as a human being.
I am in supervision according to the requirements recommended by BACP and am committed to personal therapy. I offer a service which upholds your confidentiality in a safe environment. I am a member of BACP and am currently in the process of applying for accreditation.
To date I have worked with: transition / life change, anxiety / panic attacks, stress, anger management, relationship difficulties, abandonment, loss/grief, depression, bullying, conflict resolution, confidence, effective communication personal and professional development, issues around self-esteem and self worth, traumatic experiences past and present, abuse: mental, physical and sexual, eating disorders and obsessional behaviour.
I am committed to working within the spirit of equal opportunities and will not discriminate on any ground. Unfortunately one of the current venues has some steps to negotiate for people with walking difficulties
Clients Comments
“The counselling sessions have proved invaluable to me. I now feel more confident about the future and ready to face whatever it may hold.”
“Just to say that Jill was a very caring and understanding person. Nothing at all was too much trouble and she has certainly helped turn my life around.”
“Initially I was sceptical about what could be achieved by counselling and I have been pleasantly surprised by how much I have achieved in my sessions.”
Mentor & Supervisee Comments
“Throughout the sessions Jill was clear & professional in her approach and maintained clarity regarding the course requirements and the structuring of the mentoring sessions. Jill understood early on where I was in terms of my world view & my experiences and was able to go along the path with me.”
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Jill both from a personal & professional viewpoint. I have learned much about my clients, theoretical ways of working and about myself.”
