What to expect
Whether you're new to counselling or not, it can feel daunting starting with a new therapist. I hope to make that first step as comfortable as possible.
​
My approach
I practice person-centred therapy, which offers you a safe, non-judgemental space, working with how you are feeling in the present moment.
​
You are the expert of your situation, therefore the pace and direction of our sessions will always be led by you. My role is as your guide, creating a safe and trusting environment which facilitates you to explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Who I work with
I work with adults (18+) across a wide range of issues.
Person-centred counselling can be a helpful approach for many of the challenges we all face, such as feelings of anxiety and sadness, relationship difficulties, major life events, or a desire for personal growth.
​
The connection between counsellor and client is essential to your positive experience of
therapy. So, to help you feel comfortable and sure I'm the right counsellor for you, I offer a
complimentary 20-minute initial chat (online or phone). I am more than happy to answer any
questions you may have, discuss your needs and get a feel for how we would work together.
Where I'm based
My face-to-face counselling sessions are held near
Windsor and Maidenhead, Berkshire, in a comfortable, private and peaceful garden office. There is separate access and on road parking.
​
If getting to counselling is difficult for you, I also offer online, video link sessions.
Session information
Our time together will be open-ended, meaning the number of sessions isn't predetermined.
It is common to meet weekly/fortnightly, and I offer a range of days and times.
We'll have regular check-ins to review your progress, discuss any obstacles you might face, and adjust our approach as needed.
​
Each session lasts 50 minutes.
​
Each session costs £60.​​
Testimonials
"I wasn’t too sure what to expect and was slightly nervous before my sessions, however it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was shocked by how much I learnt about myself and how much I developed in a short space of time. My counsellor was amazing, they listened perfectly and I felt completely heard and understood which meant a lot and also gained a great new perspective on all personal situations. I felt really cared for and they taught me so much, helping me become a much stronger and more aware person, which I am very thankful for."
"I can't thank you enough for being incredibly attentive, kind and understanding in our sessions every week. I honestly don't know what I would have done without the chance to sit and vent in the safe space you provide. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"I really appreciated this counselling opportunity. I was able to order some thoughts, evaluate my circumstances and talk through some past experiences that have led me to the point I am at. I was listened to. I was made to feel that what I had experienced and the aftermath were significant enough for me to have some of the thoughts and feelings that I experience. My counsellor was a great listener, she gave me the space to say what I wanted and to make a few plans for moving forward. I am very grateful to Jess for all her time and energy."
