Hello and a warm welcome to one and all. I'm Jane, a BACP accredited experienced therapist, and supervisor. I offer trauma-informed integrative face to face from Surbiton or Teddington or online to any area in the UK. I embody a compassionate, accepting, non-judgemental and growth focussed approach combining varied modalities to offer expert counselling to adults aged 18+ as I truly and passionately believe painful childhood or adult experiences can be healed with professional and benevolent support.  Therapy is short to long term, depending on your individual requirements. May I commend you on taking the first step in reaching out, as for many of us the thought of engaging in therapy to address the difficulties we are facing can seem frightening and out of our comfort zone.How can counselling help?There are many reasons for seeking therapy and as an experienced and trauma informed counsellor, I have found that these reasons are often incredibly painful. Perhaps you are holding onto distress from a difficult childhood, grieving the loss of a meaningful relationship, or wondering what your purpose is. You may have been hiding your pain for a while and managing daily life well but inside, feel exhausted and alone from putting on a mask. As your therapist, I can help you to make sense of the feelings experienced and enable you to see difficulties in a more manageable way.My approachI take an integrative approach to counselling, blending psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive behavioural therapies and incorporating trauma informed theory to support clients who have lived through distressing and traumatic experiences . I champion a relational approach to therapy, building a non-judgemental and compassionate relationship with my clients. I will witness, validate and empathise with your unique lived experience and support you with the daily challenges of being an imperfect human. Progress is the goal, not perfection.
