Type of counselling
Introduction
Hi, I'm Jess - thank you for visiting my profile today.
I'm an integrative counsellor working face-to-face from Heswall Hills Counselling Centre in Wirral and also remotely via online and telephone sessions. Since completing my Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling I have been working with clients via private practice as well as Age UK, Better Help and Employee Assistance Programs. I also have experience working as a wellbeing coach and with the NHS in the inclusion department and as a sexual health outreach worker.
Integrative counselling means that I believe that we are all unique and therefore our counselling process will be tailored to reflect this and to fit your individual needs. This type of counselling stems from the belief that there isn't one sole therapeutic approach that can support a client in all situations. I take both you and your circumstances into account using elements of different approaches to support you in exploring both the presenting issues and coping techniques.
Many of my values align with the Person-Centred approach as I believe that our environment can determine our ability for growth. I therefore offer a safe space for you to process your feelings, thoughts, and experiences and I will be both honest and present with you.
Whilst I work with many presenting issues I have particular experience working with anger, interpersonal issues, people-pleasing, boundaries and both LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients.
I am committed to continuous professional development and have engaged in the following training and CPD including (but not limited to); Mental Health First Aid, Menopause training, Neurodiversity Conference, Gender and Sexuality, Understanding and Responding to Grief, Trans+ Awareness training, Dementia Friends and HIV Awareness and Stigma Reduction.
