Jane Klauber

I have current availability for in person and online work. Please contact me to discuss session times.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ registered psychotherapist offering face to face and online counselling to individuals. My clients typically experience low mood/ depression , anxiety and problems with relationships. I am also a trained bereavement counsellor. I offer a safe non-judgemental space where you can explore your anxieties or concerns. Many of my clients have no previous experience of counselling and opening up to a stranger can be daunting and feel risky, others have tried different therapeutic approaches but struggle to make changes to their lives. Together we will think about how you have got to where you are, we will try to identify unhelpful patterns of behaviour that may hold you back and explore the potential to make positive changes. The therapy I provide is open -ended but we can also agree a time-limited contract.

In terms of my training I completed a Master's degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling at Birkbeck College, University of London. In addition to my private practice I have held an honorary contract with the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and a visiting clinician contract with Tavistock Relationships.

I am trained as a Psychodynamic psychotherapist which means, briefly, that your sessions with me will not be structured and you will be free to bring whatever is on your mind without any limitation except the time boundary of 50 minutes. I may ask you questions to clarify and I may make observations or links to other events, thoughts or feelings that you have told me about but the time is yours  and together we will try to make sense of the difficulties you are facing.

Our first session will be an assessment to ensure we both feel we will be able to work together well. I will ask you about the difficulties you are currently experiencing, your past experience(s) of therapy if you have had therapy before and what you would like to gain from therapy. I will also ask you about your background and family and significant  personal relationships. Lastly I will ask you about any issues I need to be aware of from a Safeguarding perspective such as drug and alcohol use and self- harming behaviour including suicide attempts. The first session will be 50 minutes to an hour and  charged at my usual rate but I will invite you for a further assessment interview if I think we need more time.
