Hello, I'm Jade, a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work with adults and young people aged 11+.It takes great courage to ask for help, and I understand that it can feel daunting at first when beginning your counselling journey. My aim is always to provide a warm, supportive and non-judgemental environment in which we can explore together any issues that you may be struggling with and find ways for you to move forward.I work in a way that focuses on building a trusting relationship with clients, in a safe and confidential space. This enables us to work together to shine a light on whatever may be troubling you, helping you to understand these issues more clearly and identify areas that you may wish to focus on. As a Humanistic counsellor, I believe it is important to support you in developing self-awareness, particularly around thoughts, feelings and behaviours in your life, and the patterns that we can sometimes find ourselves stuck in. Developing awareness in this way can help you to really understand the root causes of any difficulties you may be experiencing, empowering you to make changes to your life that are important to you. I am also trained in Transactional Analysis, which offers us practical tools and ways of exploring your world, helping you to gain awareness of how you view the world and interact with others. This branch of therapy puts great emphasis on promoting personal growth and change, and is particularly helpful when exploring relationships and how we communicate with others.
