Type of counselling
Introduction
Hi I'm Jess
I believe everyone is unique, so I tailor the counselling process to fit individual needs, using elements from different therapeutic approaches. We can discuss any specific methods you want to explore or avoid.
I align with the Person-Centred approach, believing our environment affects our growth. I will provide a space for you to safely process your feelings, thoughts, and experiences. I will support you to explore your needs and potential barriers to them being met.
In this space, we’ll explore your presenting issues and what you hope to gain from our sessions. We could focus on areas such as self-care, boundaries, your support circle, and building a "toolbox" for managing feelings and gaining insight, the way we work will depend on what your individual needs are. You may attend counselling with a specific issue that you want to address or you may want to address an overall feeling that is sitting with you. This is different for each person.
I work with clients from all communities and offer the following:
Neurodivergent Affirming Counselling. I support and affirm neurodivergent differences, where relevant we may focus on sensory self-care, internal beliefs, boundaries, and individual needs, without viewing being neurodivergent as something to "cure."
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Counselling. I embrace a positive view of LGBTQIA+ identities and relationships, addressing harmful influences like homophobia and transphobia. Authenticity is key to a strong therapeutic relationship, whether or not your focus is related to being LGBTQ+.
I'm committed to continuous professional development, having engaged in CPD and training in areas such as Mental Health First Aid, Neurodiversity, Gender and Sexuality, Trans+ Awareness and Bereavement.
