About me

Welcome, my name is Jess and I am a Qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor. My path to embarking on becoming a counsellor was rooted in my experience as a client. As I worked through my deep, ingrained beliefs and emotional scars I started to see the real power of counselling.

I have over 7 years of experience working in the care and mental health sector, including roles with the British Red cross, local hospitals supporting both children and adults and Sirona care and health. Throughout this time, I have supported individuals, families, and staff from a wide range of backgrounds, often during moments of vulnerability, change and uncertainty.

Alongside my professional experience, I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have also been involved in a range of voluntary roles, including Marmalade trust and ChildLine. These experiences have further strengthened my understanding of connection, loneliness, and the importance of being heard.

I committed to ongoing learning and professional development, undertaking a minimum of 30 hours of Continuous professional development each year. This allows me to continually deepen my knowledge and skills across a range of therapeutic areas, ensuring that the support I offer remains ethical, reflective, and responsive to each client’s individual needs.

Training and Professional Development:

I specialise in trauma-informed therapy, inner child work, and supporting clients in strengthening self-esteem and self-confidence.

I am currently completing advanced training in trauma-informed practice to further enhance my knowledge, skills, and the quality of support I provide to clients.
