My name is Jane and I am a person-centred and integrative counsellor, registered with British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist (BACP).
I work with adults to explore together how you relate to yourself and others, how you communicate, how you think, feel and act. I can help you recognise and understand “what is going on for you” and I use a variety of theoretical approaches to accomplish this. Together we will uncover who you are inside, so that you are more comfortable in your world.
I am non-judgemental, warm, compassionate, and honest and my priority is to keep you safe whilst you explore and experience your vulnerabilities. Together we will develop more of an understanding of you and what you are experiencing and uncover a new way to create a life that feels right for you.

My Journey
I understand from a professional and personal perspective what it means to hear that inner critical voice making you feel awful about yourself, to feel that there is no hope, and that you are helpless. Throughout my life I have experienced a variety of challenges and distress, including trauma, suicide, bereavement, work stress, redundancy, health issues, relationship issues and parenting challenges. Through the process of personal counselling these experiences have strengthened but have also provided me with a greater understanding of what it is like to be the "client" and how important it is to find the right counsellor for you.

Experience:
Currently, I am working with a local charity in Hull counselling people with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger-management, self-harm, and various addictions. Also, supporting people with mental health issues and long-term unemployment, on behalf of the DWP (Department of Work and Pensions).
