My Approach
A Safe Space to Talk
I provide a confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly about your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Therapy moves at your pace, in a way that feels comfortable for you.
Person-Centred
I believe that you are the expert in yourself. My role is to listen, understand and support you as you explore your experiences, helping you gain clarity and confidence in your own choices.
Practical Techniques
Alongside Person-Centred Counselling, I use CBT techniques to help you understand unhelpful thought patterns, manage difficult emotions and develop healthier ways of coping in everyday life.
About Janet
I offer counselling for adults aged 18 and over in a way that is supportive, compassionate and respectful. I believe that you are the expert in yourself. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to work alongside you so that you can better understand your thoughts, feelings and choices.
I have a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, along with training in Mindfulness and Domestic Violence, and I have over 15 years of experience working in a therapy service, with 5 years in practice as a counsellor.
Alongside my professional background, I also bring personal life experience. Having lived in East London for more than 40 years and having experience of a blended family, separation, divorce and single motherhood, I understand that life can be complex and challenging in many different ways.
I work in a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental way, creating a space where you can feel safe, respected and heard.
