Amy Jacques

As an Integrative counsellor I can draw on a range of ideas to support our work together. I commit to providing a compassionate environment where you can feel valued and accepted. From this place of safety, together we can begin to process what is going on for you. Counselling is a space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour. This can lead to a greater understanding of the self and, where relevant, empower you to begin to make changes in your life.

I work with both adults and young people aged 9 and above. I have completed the CPCAB Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People.

I have additional understanding of the experiences of LGBTQ+ and Neurodivergent individuals. 

I am committed to providing an inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice. I am gender-affirming and welcome people of all genders and sexualities. 

I offer face-to-face sessions at the beautiful setting of Oak House Studio and Therapies in Hatfield. There is a free car park and toilet facilities on site. Hatfield train station is just a 15 minute walk away.

I also work online.

Sessions can be long-term or short-term depending on your needs and situation. Sessions are 50 minutes and are usually held weekly and at the same time each week. 

I offer a free initial 15 minute conversation for you to tell me a bit about yourself/your young person and to briefly explore the reasons for seeking counselling. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about counselling or the way I work. 

If you decide to go ahead, in the first full session I will be seeking to understand more about you/your young person and this will involve me asking some questions and taking notes.
