Hi there, I’m Jen. I am a
qualified, UK trained counsellor living in Southern
Brittany. I have been in private practice since June 2022. I
offer a free initial consultation to see if we are a good
‘fit’ and can provide time limited counselling (e.g. 12
weeks) or open-ended work (with regular reviews). If you
live nearby and would prefer face to face sessions I can
receive you in my therapy room. Otherwise we can work online
– I currently use Google Meet. I am currently accepting
clients aged 16+.
My commitment to you is to
provide a warm, empathic, non-judgemental and safe space in
which to explore your difficulties. I believe that
self-awareness is key to effecting change and I will
facilitate this process; I will walk beside you,
metaphorically speaking.
Given that every person is
different, I will tailor our work in a way that will best
support you as the work proceeds. I believe it is helpful to
have an overall goal of what you want to achieve from the
therapeutic work and that from within this framework you are
safe to explore anything that comes up for you in the
process. This may or may not be clear from the outset but
will be revisited from time to time and may evolve or
change.
It’s important that you go
at your own pace and feel comfortable sharing your thoughts
and feelings when you are ready.
The main theoretical
approach that I work with is Transactional Analysis and I
draw upon other theories such as Gestalt and Person-Centred
Therapy. I sometimes use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and
Mindfulness exercises and Emotional Freedom Technique to
compliment the talk therapy.
We also have the option of
using more creative ways of working together such as through
art, music, writing and I’m open to your suggestions too if
there is something you feel would assist your process.
