About me and my therapy practice

I work integratively using mainly a Person Centered and Cognative Behavioural approach. I do my best to adapt my way of working to my client’s needs and their presenting issue. I will sometimes use pen and paper, buttons, mood cards or similar tools to help my clients identify their feelings and emotions. If I feel it necessary I will challenge clients about their perceptions and thinking.

Practice description

I believe it is vital that my clients feel safe, trusted and understood,  as it is the relationship between the counsellor and client that research states promotes therapeutic change.

My first session

After being contacted by email, I will reply to ask for convenient times for me to give them a phone call so that we can discuss things further. During the phone call we can both assess if I am the right counsellor for them. During the first session, or by email prior to our first session, I will ask my client to approve my contract. The contract is designed to keep us both safe. It gives details of where the client can complain to, confidentiality (and its limits), and information about contactability.

About me and my therapy practice

Hi my name is Janet and I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Counselling Supervisor who has had lots of (what has often been traumatic) life experience.

The approach I use in Supervision is Developmental and Person Centred, and have been a qualified Supervisor since 2014.

I believe that both Supervisors and Counsellors learn from each other. However, Supervision provides a fresh set of eyes over the complexity of client work whilst providing the Supervisee with the support and confidence to become as proficient and ethical as possible.

The overriding concern for both Counsellor and Supervisor is to provide the best possible therapeutic outcome to the client.
